I am goin to buy a 360 and i am debating if i should get a premium or elite. The elite is $549 here in canada with no games bundled while the premium is $499 with COD3 and 2800 points. Now my question which one should i get and is 20gb more than enough storage.

If you have a TV that is larger than 50" and you need 120 gigs go for the elite.

If you got a really nice HDTV go elite. If not I'd save the money and go premium and have money left over a game or something like that

The question is, do you need the Elite? If you plan to not have a ton of xbl games and dont plan to download much in the way of trailers, movies, tv shows, etc.. than you should be good with the normal HD. Now if you own an HDTV as I do and want to use the HDMI than you need the Elite.  Those are the two things it pretty much boils down to. Do you think you will need the extra space and do you need the HDMI hook up. I have mines running through components for my hd experience and it shows quite lovely in 1080i or 720p (my tv doesnt do 1080p), so I dont know if the HDMI is enough to justify the purchase of the ELITE as far as HD gaming is concerened.  I got my 360 at launch, but if I were just getting it now I'd get the ELITE. I think it looks nicer, the extra hard drive space is nice to have, I think it might run smoother, and if you dont have a HD it keeps you better covered in the future should you get one and decide to go HDMI instead of components. So I say Elite unless your really strapped for cash.

If you have a nice-nice-nice tv then get the Elite otherwise get the Pro deal.
