Well Im in a huge dilema, just today they announed price cuts in Canada! The 360 premium bundle will be for 399$ and the elite will have a $50 price cut to $499. I am really stuck on what to get! Because I've always planned on getting the Elite ever since it came out since their was only a $50 price difference so I was like what the heck ill get the elite. Now itsa hundred dollar price difference and also most premimum bundles in my area (Vancouver BC) are bundled with Forza Motorsport 2 and sometimes if your lucky 1 extra controller and forza and another 2 games for an extra 30 bucks only! The elite however doesnt offer and extra games or bundle packs for a few extra dollars... Which is a huge downfall because I can easily save over $160 on a premium because of froza for free!

My questions are which one would you guys choose? Im only 14, and im giong to be asking my parents, they probably wont care which one, but Im not the type of guy that likes to burn a hole in my parents wallet, because I feel really guilty easily.

I also wonder what extras does the elite contain or give? Whats so good about it? Also does it run better and have a lower chance of all those rings of death and that stuff? it seems like to has a sleeker and nicer design with a large harddrve, but it also seems less faulty. Is this true?

Also, 120 Gb needed for me? Or is it too much? I wouldnt mind having a storage device where I could keep music, photos and MOVIES that I could bring to my friends house to watch or something. I could easily transfer about 5 movies, 200 songs, 200 photos, which would be about probably less then 8 gigabytes. And the rest I'd basically use for game saves and demos (If I had premimum).

I wouldnt mind having 120gb but seriously, do you all think a 14 year old boy could take up that much space with only like a few movies, songs and photos? I dont download that much, but I just want something to store a few of my movies.

So which one is right for me??? ELITE OR PREMIUM??? Which one should I go for? Please awnser after reading what I said above keep in mind everything about bundles, price difference and the amount of storage.....

The Elite is really worth it if you want the extra space. I heard the 65nm Chips are in the consoles that were made in June. I also heard that the Elite runs a lot quiter than premium/core consoles. You know you have a certain time limit will full length movies right? Or were you talking about the movies that never expire. I think the Elite is worth it all day.

The Elite's built in June, are not the same. They have the second heatsink, and are extremely reliable
