Okay I finally going to get a 360 but witch on the 360 Premium or 360 Elite?  I like the fact that you can download games and demos for Maketplace and plan on doing so.  My nephew can play them and they are easy play games for me.  I been hearing different accounts of people having to remove stuff from there hard drives and I'm not sure on which would be best for me the 20 or the 120 hard drive?  I'm what you would call a causal gamer (I hate that name) with a HDTV 720p.  Would the 360 Premium or the Elite work best for me?

If I was you at this time without an original Xbox 360, I'd get the Elite FTW 8)

The premium makes more sense unless you you have an HDTV that is larger than 50", will watch downloadable movies and will download multiple games. Plus it is more expensive and you only get an upconverted signal from DVD games for the Elite.

Get the Elite if 1) your TV supports HDMI, 2)if you need 120 GB of hard drive, and 3) if you prefer the color black.

Well if you do get an elite dont just get it because it's black...I know it looks cool but maybe its not sooo different from getting a premium IMO

premium.  that 80 dollar difference is much better spent on games than harddrive space that you really don't need.

the only real difference is the hdmi cable and the 120gig hd....so if uw anna spend 80 bucks more..go for it...but the permium package aint that bad...20 gigs is a good amount for a while so really..do u wanna pay the extra or u don't care..thats what it comes down too

Go with Premium. There really is no use for 120 GB because it will never get filled up. Unless you are a rich person who downloads every single thing on the marketplace. which i doubt you are because then you wouldnt be asking this question, youd just go get it. The HDMI really wont help you considering your TV is only 720i. You said it yourself you are a casual gamer so i doubt you are going to be all downloading every single thing. The 20 gigs is plenty of space. unless you plan on downloading tuns of movies and games it should be enough for you. the extra 80$ is only worth it if you know you can afford it and YOU KNOW YOUR GOING TO USE IT.

well put. if your a casual gamer, and you have a 720p hdtv, and dont need to spend the extra 80$, go for the premium.  If you think you will download a crapload off the marketplace and 80$ really is nothing to you, then go for the elite. I think the black looks cooler, but dont make that a part of your decision.
