the core system or the premium?

[the:megalon]

i've been thinking about getting a 360 even if it has been out for a while. i'm on a bit of a budget so should i get the premium just for the hard drive and wireless controller and all the xbox live stuff?

or should i just stick with a great console minus the hard drive.

people tell me the hard drive is really neccessary.. but i'm on a budget... argh.


please state your opinions. they're appreciated.

I'd say the hard drive is worth it. You'll be wanting to download demos, trailers, and stuff. You also need it to save your game files, and get updates for the 360.

You're pretty limited if you don't have a HDD, plus you get a wireless controller, LIVE headset and the special trimming on the disk drive bay.
