Yeah, cool that you're doing a study for college here. What class is this for?

Anyway, I voted no - I'll just be getting a new hard drive, though I'm being ripped off $100.

Yea, same here. I might buy the Hard-drive but I highly doubt it. The price is $179.99, which is total bull, Its almost as much as the Wii. And Ill only buy it if I can transfer my data cause there is noo way im redoing everything.

I know that . . . I'm saying you pay $400 for the Premium, or only $70 more for the Elite, and $170 for the hard drive alone. So if you buy the Premium, as I already have, and then the hard drive, you total $570, thus losing $100 to cruel marketing schemes (EDIT: because you didn't buy the Elite in the first place, if you had had the option to).

Ohh ok lol, sorry. My bad. Like I said, if I do buy it then Im going to wait till the price drops dramatically and even if it does drop Im not buying it unless I absolutly need it.

What college? What is your major by the way cuz it sounds like electronic engineering or computer engineering?

Anyways I already own the premium and I would only buy an elite if my 360 breaks down since I never got a warrentty but I might buy the 120 gb hard drive and use the transfer cable for my game saves and files.

I'd like to append to my vote that while I own a premium, it 3-ring'd on thursday.  So yes I'm buying an elite, but it's because I have to buy a new 360 anyway, so I might as well get the coolest one.

I voted "no", but the issue is more complicated for me than that. If my current 360 dies, I'll be picking up an Elite. I like 360 too much to throw my hands up and run to the competition. I also would much rather have the HDMI, so the thought has crossed my mind that if I can recoup some of the losses by selling my current 360 and if a transfer cable is made available, it'll be much easier for me to take. I'd throw down an extra sum of money for HDMI (with the larger HDD as a perk), but not $480. The things that would swing my decision are if the machine ran at all more reliably or more quietly... I understand that they didn't include the smaller chips, which is unfortunate, but if they were to at least include a quieter or more reliable DVD drive, I'd be more receptive. It sounds like a lawnmower when it gets to reading the discs sometimes and it freaks me out. I have enough anxiety living in the Modern World, I don't need my 360 adding to it.

That was a rumor that was proven false by MS.  The rumor was that the elite was a limited edition, and that the harddrive / hdmi would start appearing in premiums after the elite edition was over.  But that's not how it'll work.  The elite is a permanent addition the the 360 line.  As far as we have been told, the core + premium will remain the same.

I'll stick with my Premium for now, but if it breaks, I'll use myy BB PRP spend an extra $80 and get the Elite. Props on the college. I'm a high school senior, and damn this college stuff is stressful.

This probably isn't a very reliable place to do your study as it will encompass only a self-selecting poll base. Just a little FYI if you should add into your concluding remarks if applicable.

Not buying the Elite, I am getting a customized case for my 360  (black case with an "X" cutout w/ color changing LED's), adding the 120G and then buying the black accessories for it...  Done deal - now whenever they come out with the HD-DVD or Blu'Ray 360 then I will buy it...

Dude, get the Elite.  For only $80 more you get so much more memory.  I got the premium and my HDD filled up after only a month or so.

I'll might spring for the bigger HDD at some point in the future, but I don't think I need HDMI.  My TV doesn't support it, and 360 games only render at 720p max (at least currently).  From what I understand, HDMI is only useful for rendering images in 1080p.
