Ok, so I don't care about downloading movies, but may decide to get a few XBLA games. I assume the core system is completely gimped. Premium would be the way to go, then?
Waiting out the new chipset.
From the last thread:
* New 360 update available, making the system ready for wireless guitar controllers.
* The Halo 3 Xbox 360 is stupidly priced at $400. Deal would have been better if they included a wireless headset.
* Price drops occur on 8/8. Core - $280 (LOL), Premium - $350, Elite - $450
* Science explains why 360's die.
* Eternal Sonata US Demo is now available.

Why are we still having this conversation?
Forget the core pack even exists.
Go premium or go home.
Probably not going HD for television for several years. Staying on standard def really doesn't break my heart.
If you have a computer monitor (which you should, since you're posting on an Internet forum), just buy a used VGA cable from Gamestop/EB for $10 and you can get HD graphics through your monitor.
SD is pretty atrocious for the majority of 360 games (i.e., they are not very well optimized for it).
That's it? Lame.* New 360 update available, making the system ready for wireless guitar controllers.
Is it really that useless?
I was thinking of getting a Core, a VGA cable, and a 512MB memory card, and it would still cost less than the premium.
I don't need to download demos and movies, and flash memory has faster access than HDD.
I haven't payed attention to the 360 for a few months, but I don't remember there being any large updates or patches that wouldn't fit on a memory card.
If you plan on using XBL, then yes, the Core is useless. You need that HD for downloadable content that makes games function well. Premium all the way.
