Which X-Box console to buy?

OK, there's the Core, Premium and Elite.

I'm not getting the Core, but I'm not sure if I should go Premium or Elite. The big difference I see between the two is 120GB HD vs only a 20 on the Premium. Is the 20 Gig limiting? Also, the Elite has HDMI output. While I eventually want to get an HDTV, I don't have one yet. Does it come with regular A/V output as well? Microsoft's website isn't quite specific on this point. Thanks!

I prefer the white casing, but I'd definitely go Elite if I were buying a new one. By the time you download some trailers, demos, and other games, you can fill up that 20 gigs quickly. The system files take up a lot of that 20, I think around 10 (does that sound right, XBoxers?). And I'd definitely want the HDMI output.

I beleive the Elite has improved the interior technology somewhat. Hopefully that will reduce the heat issues from the current 360s.

I got the Core and it came with the HDMI output, so I think the only difference is the gigs. I'm not on XBOX live yet, so I can't really speak to the drawbacks of 20G.

The Elite will support 1080p games when they are available. The others will only do 720p I believe.
