Xbox 360 Owners: Wich bundle did you buy?

[Dobie]

I wonder what would happen if you called up MS and said "The DVD bezel is broken on my "core" 360... can I get a new one?" They might send you a white bezel. It seems a bit much if they'd need you to send them the system for a DVD bezel replacement. It would be much more cost effective on their end to just mail you a new bezel. Or, even if you asked to BUY a new one, it likely wouldn't cost a lot.

I got a deal on the premium one, ($350 via overstock.com sale), so I jumped on that.

Thats a pretty good deal!

Premiums look different to Cores? Well, I never. I didn't know this. Hadn't seen this online, either. Anyone got any pictures which show the differences?

By the way, Football Manager is another game which uses the hard drive. Infact, it demands it!

I actually bought 2 bundles.
This was back a few months ago when they were a bitch to find. I had a web-site that kept polling retail sites (Like Wal Mart, Target, Amazon etc...) every 2 minutes and when a bundle would become available it would list it. One night I sat on that site and after a couple hours a Core Bundle pops up (3 games and extra controller)....So I immediately jumped on it, and paid like $14 extra for overnight shipping. Well then like an hour later a Premium Bundle popped up! So I'm like. Cool thats what I really wanted so I'll buy it...and then cancel the other one. Well needless to say by then it said the original bundle was being shipped and I couldn't cancel!! I'm down over a grand by that point. Luckily I found someone who wanted to buy a bundle and took it off my hands right away.

The only difference is that the disk drive is white and not silver.

i went with the premium bundle (for the obvious reasons of all the extras for the price of just adding a hdd to the core....)

i got that pack with the bonus media remote, and extra wireless controller, and pgr3 on jan. 6th

recently i got cod2 goty edition and table tennis new...

...and more recently, at the buy 2 get 1 sale at GS i picked up gun, king kong, and condemned (all games i had started through $1 local 1 day rentals and never finished bc i was to busy to play them and keep them longer than a day)

so now i sit with the premium pack, an extra controller, and 6 games.....

[Sothy]

I bought the core because of availability... waited weeks.. of course next week theres premiums in.

I paid as much as a premium buying a memory card and component cables at the same time... then finally got a hardrive.

[Princess-Isabela]

I bought a Premium bundle because it comes with a lot of useful things with it.
and 11 games:
1.Dead or Alive 4
2.Call of Duty 2
3.Perfect Dark Zero
4.Condemned
5.Project Gotham Racing 3
6.Tomb Raider Legend
7.Blazing Angels
8.Table Tennis
9.Fight Night Round 3
10.Kameo
11.Ghost Recon AW
the only games I'm planning to buy are Oblivion and Prey within few days.

We noticed that my newest 360 (3 weeks old, directly from Microsoft ) came with the new disc drive in it. It's light grey in color and the entire disc tray is cut out in order to prevent the disc scratching that the earlier one was capable of. I wonder whether it also contains the new components that run cooler.

[pookninja]

i bought the core system and a memory card.i dont have any desire to play xbox live,or to get the hard drive unless i can get the hard drive real cheap.i bought the system mainly to play ridge racer6,oblivion,and pdz.i also didnt pay any crazy inflated price for my 360 either.i waited until they were available in stores and bought mine for $299.99

[SirDrexl]

I don't have one yet, but I'm considering getting a Core because I saw the hard drive for $50 at Wal-Mart. I want the VGA cable anyway and the wireless controller isn't that big of a deal for me.

[Lothars]

I don't own one yet but I will be buying the Premium I still think the Core is a waste of money

[The Shawn]

I got the premium so I could save games and rip music.
It'll end up costing the extra 100 bucks in the end or even more if you want to save your shit.

[Reid]

I got mine for free from Pepsi off every10minutes.com

lol

I just bought mine last week. When you say it is grey in color, you mean on the inside right? I also have that as well as the insides cut out. I also notice mine runs warm but not really hot. My older PC runs hotter than this thing. I'm not really sure, but it may be that our 360s have some of the redesigned parts. Cool beans.

[Jasoco]

My brother got the Premium.

I'm getting the Core....

Just kidding! I'm not stupid. I'm buying mine tomorrow. Premium of course.

I'm also (If all goes well) getting an HD TV as well. *crosses fingers*

At work a Cow Orker printed out a little sign a while ago that says "We Have Xbox 360!" on it. Then it has the words "Core" and "Elite" on it. He said he put "Elite" as a joke. It sounds cooler than "Premium". The funny thing is customers see this and all the time I get people saying "I want an Elite 360, please." or "I bought the Elite." I'm gonna call MS and tell them to officially change the name to "Elite".

[Joker T]

Got the premium for obvious reasons.

[gjb-sensei]

Well, when I got mine at launch (online through CircuitCity.com), I got a Premium bundle.

[slip81]

I just got a premium system from EB. I was seriouslythinking about getting a used one for $279, but two things stopped me, 1) I asked myself wy someone traded it in so soon, 2) I found that after purchasig a memory card, HD cables and an HDD I really wouldn't be saving any money anyway.

[Kejoriv]

I bought the Premium on launch day.
Stood outside Target for 5 hrs on a cold and rainy day

I bought Need for Speed and the Xbox on launch day
