Oh, and no doubt I'll be getting the Premium one. The Core one makes no sense at all. Sounds to me like analysts said that the Xbox 360 would launch at $299.99, so MS thought that they had to.
Anyways...

Unless I win one with the mountain dew promotion I doubt I'll buy one at launch though.

I'll be getting the premium package and later on a core version to hack it. Just to be sure though...does the premium come with the dvd remote?...just wondering. oh! and is the hard drive like the hdd used in Xbox/computers where we can purchase one and upgrade it?...or is it specifially designed for the Xbox360 itself? :)
It comes with the DVD remote until after Christmas. Then, no.
Also, the HDD is pretty much a 2.5" laptop HDD. So, theoretically, if we make a few mods, we may be able to hook a regular HDD up to it, but we haven't seen the connectors on the HDD yet, so no one knows.
At launch, no.
In the future... well, what have we done with XB1?

Just on one of my boxes I have 20-25 friends that are in two or more box homes. One of these friends is the father of a College Freshmen and the other is a junior in High School. Both of which are very beautiful girl gamers. All three have their own boxes within the household including the father who comments the family that plays together, stays together!
Host of other friends are making adjustments to their budgets to get multi-units into their homes before Christmas. It just proves that even though the price is higher than market studies said gamers would openly spend. Serious gamers are showing that a little extra money isnt much in the grand scheme of things to come with next-generation gaming.

As with all things in just about every aspect of life whether it be business or home, change can be very difficult for some to deal with day to day. It seems somewhat contradictory considering the root reason gamers are going to be buying the XBOX 360 in the first place. Are we going to run out and spend more money on a new system because we want the same old thing? Thats just plain crazy!
Next generation gaming promises crisp, clean graphics and faster processing not to mention the next step into the wireless world. A platform that is designed with no cords to the controller or the headset is truly freedom. Its a good thing being able to run downstairs from the game room to make a tall glass of ice tea or a sandwich without losing contact with other online gamers while you do so.
Anyone in my opinion that looks blankly into the future of gaming and worries whether they will be able to play Madden 2000 or the original Ghost Recon are individuals that are surely frugal and dont necessarily want nor desire the advances offered with next generation gaming. Personally, I have been advancing with systems since the days of pong and I have never looked back.
Every change in gaming has brought better technical experiences and quality of the gaming experience. Regardless of the maker, each and every one of them had good consoles and good games at the time, but times change. Developers push the envelope to give the devoted gamers more of an experience and they do it for a reason, and that is revenue. Tecmo Bowl is surely putting groceries on somebodys table, I dont think so. The reality is the same though; we have advanced from Tecmo Bowl to a yearly release of Madden and the true gamer demands more in every release. The market grows stagnant and real gamers desire more from a system they paid hard earned money for in the first place. Its comical to think that a developer would sit in a corporate meeting with numerous constinuants expounding our gamers still need the ability to play Siphon Filter. Yeah that theory is going to keep you making money and your business solvent.
Stop fighting progression and deal with it up front. Currently, I have three online gamertags and three different units in my home. Each of those units is filled with gamertags/gamers that are not questioning to buy the XBOX 360. Many are struggling on how they are going to be able to afford the XBOX 360 at all. Having to shell out big dollars to get the system, then take it home and not be able to play the older games while one recovers to buy an actual XBOX 360 game to play on their new found unit. That is why XBOX buckled and made concessions to provide the ability for backwards-compatibility but they did it at a price, and they passed that price along to those consumers. For me I am will be forced to buy the backward-compatible XBOX 360 system's to keep some of my backward-compatible online friends. It seems a necessity among online gamers to keep in touch with those folks that either have difficulty purchasing in hard times or simply have a difficulty changing with them.

There will be two versions of the Xbox 360 remote control, used to navigate the console's media menus. The one you'll get (free) in the premium package as launch promotion will be the basic model. The larger one will sell separately, has more buttons and lights up, which will be useful for home cinema use.

I just need something to play Halo 3, Gears of War, and Ghost Recon on. I won't buy one until Halo 3 comes out, maybe even later to find out if those games suck.
Edit: That being said, I might buy the premium if those games are awesome and the rest of the features turn out to be key.
