XBOX 360 Premium vs. Core Package

Stephen P · 2006-10-15 19:42:36

I'm thinking about getting the xbox 360 but unsure what package to get. I noticed a good price difference between the Premium package and the Core package. Are both consoles basically the same? Just with extra accessories with the Premium package? Which package would I be best to go with? Thanks in advance. Stephen P

your better off with the premium as you will end up buying all the extras anyway and it will cost extra then what you will pay for the premium...

don't even consider a core package. spend 430 on the premium bundle with pgr3 and you won't regret it. The core is seriously crippled for
1) saving games
2) playing original xbox games.
3) Value for money compared to the premium

Buying the core is possibly the definition of a false economy
