Want to buy a 360, need suggestion

I've been debating if I should get a next gen console for a long while now, and the recent Halo 3 hype has finally convinced me to get a 360. The problem is I have no idea which package to get. I can get either the premium or the elite, can someone explain the cons and pros of both to me?
Also I don't plan on downloading a ton of stuff from xbox live, I only want to get a few of the classic old school games from live arcade.

The other thing is that the Elite has a HDMI output, but from what I've heard, you need a pretty good HD TV to fully experience the entire package.
Other than that, no other difference, well, it does come in black, so I guess it has street cred.
If you plan on loading up alot of music you'd be better off with more. The price difference at that point isn't big. You might not plan on downloading much, but over time you'll accumulate alot of data. Patches, arcade... in 5 years there's going to be a fuckton.
I'll need to buy that 100gb hd eventually. Fucking elite got announced a week after I got my box.
Anybody know when will the new xbox360s with the falcon chips be in? I appreciate the 3 year warranty but I would rather my 360 not break and be left with no gaming for weeks.
You want the Premium. End of thread.
Could also try and get one of the Halo 3 360's.
Just want to make sure people know the new premiums have HDMI as well.
You can check the box in the store to find out if it's a new one for sure. Or, as I did, simply order from Amazon and they specify if you're getting an HDMI version. No HDMI cable is included, though.

There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of truth to hardware differences, though.
Yeah, I'm using one and very pleased with the noise level. It also stays very cool to the touch, even after hours of Bioshock.

How can I tell if the one I'm buying is the new one? I want to buy it from a store (there's a big J&R near me, and a big best buy not too far away) so I can actually look at the box to see if I'm getting a new or old one. I want to avoid buying it over the internet if at all possible.
Lot of fucking good that's done for me. Mine busted after four months.
I buy all my electronics at Costco.
What's so good about Costco?

Edit: I was looking at the Halo edition of the 360, seems like a dumb purchase to me. Once it breaks down and you mail it to microsoft, they would probably mail you a normal 360 back since I don't think they have a bunch of them lying around just so they can send back to customers.
And what the fuck are they thinking? Specialy halo 3 edition xbox without halo 3? It would have made so much more sense to make it $450 and throw in a copy of special edition halo 3 or something.
Makes sense. This bring the halo 3 xbox much closer to the premium since it comes with a wireless controller with the chargers and stuff, those stuff costs $40 easily. Can anybody confirm if the halo 3 edition 360 comes with the extra heat sink and stuff?
