Which are you getting?
360 - Hardrive and Remote
360 Core - No Hardrive or Remote
Im getting 360 =)
Not only does the Core not have the Remote and Hard Disk Drive, but it also doesn't include the Xbox Live headset, wireless controller, or Component Hi-Def cables that the Premium package includes.
I have an 8' Hi-Def screen, so it would be pointless for me to buy the Core package, plus I hate the fact that the Core comes with a wired controller, and since I'm a hardcore gamer who has Xbox Live and would like to play my Xbox 1 games, I'm going to need the HDD. The Premium package is just better for me.

Oh ya the XBL Accessories
I got an EDTV, forget size though but its pretty good size for gaming. =)
You might want to look in the Hardware forum for a bigger poll regarding this question.

The normal 360, the Hard Drive will be a nice addition.

Honestly, what kind of depraved looney would go for the core package over the wireless one...

I just picked the wrong option, which means there is still no one would buy the core package.
Im getting 360 and PGR3 for sure.
I really wish MS could provide a perfect official wheel for PGR3

Im definately getting the XBOX 360 Premium pack as it includes tons of extras that are probably worth a lot more sold seperately than just the xbox 360 itself. :)

Yup, that's my thinking behind it as well.
If I were to get the lesser package, I'd probably end up wanting to get the majority of the stuff in the full one in the end, and probably would end up spending more money doing so.
So I'll just go for the full package right away and save myself the bother. :D

Defietly the full package, the core package basicaly means you pay less at first and then pay more later buying hundreds of merory cards. Espically with the games being so big and detailed a hard drive is essential for me.
The Real Deal! I mean, getting the core package would be like... like...aw man, the core package just sucks!

Personally, I don't think there's really a point in buying 360 unless you're buying the HDD.

True dat...also you NEED a wireless controller! I NEED a wireless controller! I've been wired since the day I was born, and I'm not going to let some core package keep that streak running!
but yes...If you want to savor your old xbox games, you'll need the HDD to store the emulators so that your 360 will be backwards compatible..

Agreed. Plus, the wireless controller is a must!

crap didn't notice that core package has a wired controller, that is gay!
I guess its the 360 package for me also...although I really want the 360 on Launch...which is not possible with the bit package anymore :/
I want my HD =D
A wireless controller wouldnt go a miss either..

I hate to say it - But I've brought the 360 Core package. Why? Well, game still have first allocation pre-order slots on the 360 Core package, and seen as I work for this site, I guess it's quite important to have a 360 ASAP! :P Plus, I won't use XBOX live, because i cant link it up on my internet network anyway, and the HD I can always purchase at another time.
The wired controller? Bit of a bummer, but I could always trade it in and buy a wireless for like half-price anyway, so Im not too bothered. Plus I've just spent over 300 quid in GAME, which means a £7 (ish) gift voucher will come my way, which means more money off the 360 accesories! :p
Not to mention the fact that I'll likely get some freebies from 360Monster when it's released :p
