X360 premium is too expensive for what it offers over Core.

With only 20 gb HD, component cables (this is pathetic if you have HDTV with hdmi), wireless controller (Is that a joke) thats it? I don't see where the extra $100 comes from. And we all know the X360 core system is a joke in itself.

Hdmi = 1 plug. Component at least 3.

Hdmi = digital. Component is analog.

Hdmi = quality of materials not as important as Component. You still get excellent video with cheap hdmi connections, not so with cheap component connections.

I have never seen component offer 1080p anywhere. I am sure its possible but tell me what HDTV offers that and what console or disc player offers that. X360 HD-DVD add on only can get 1080p through vga. And there are no games that are native 1080p on X360. So tell me where I can see 1080p through component cables. And no upscaled is not the same. I be a fool to think my Samsung dvd player upconverts dvd movies to 720p. Its a trick nothing more.

How is anyone falling for it. Digital is the future..and digital transfer rates are so much faster than analog. Hdmi is the future..accept it.

It is definitly worth it if you want to play Xbox-Live even without an HDTV.

For $100, you get:

A 20GB Hard drive ($100)

A Wirless controller ($10 more than the wired)

Communication Headset ($20)

Component Cables ($40)

Ethernet Cable (~$20)

The difference is that the Core is a worthless piece of crap, whereas the Premium is actually a good machine. >_>

headset ($20 retail), wireless contoller ($50 retail), Hard Drive ($100 retail), 5 one-month XBL free trials ($40 retail), ethernet cable ($20 retail), Component Cables ($40 retail)

$270 if you bought it all seperately

do i need to explain?

Dont tell me 20 gb is $100. I can upgrade PS3 to 200 gb for less than that.

20gb hd, component cables, headset, ethernet cable does not even equal $50. MS obviously puts premium prices on the accessories an its obviously a total rip to the consumer.

No matter how you look at it, getting all that first-party hardware is pretty nice especially when you are saving over $100 than if you bought all those things seperately.

What's all this about HDMI? You guys do know the 360 has a VGA cable right? I've got mine running through a VGA connection on my 50" Samsung DLP.rhaigun
