Whats the difference between a xbox 360 core system xbox 360 and xbox 360 elite ?

well. if you are looking for the most bang for your buck, the core is the way to go. it doesnt come with all the accesories the other two do, but will still play all those games you love. and for like $30-$40 you can get a 512 memory card and save all your games ($100 for the Hard drive) the premium would be best for you if you are an online gamer, looking for wireless controller play, and want the HD so you can download demos, games, tv and movies from marketplace(just a couple at a time) its the exact same console as the core but for a few small things and one BIG thing. the premium console has a silver faceplate on the DVD drive, now comes with HDMI (whoopty doo unless you own a 50+ inch HD TV that will work in 1080p) the BIG thing i mentioned is the new heatsink that was recently added to the GPU (the graphics proccesor) to keep the temp down in the 360. this new heatsink is there to hopefully get rid of the red ring of death that so many MS customers have run into. The Elite is the console if you are a hardcore gamer looking for online game play, wireless controllers, and serious download space. the big hard drive allows you to download tv shows and movies and hang on to them for a bit, it also allows you to be able to get all those arcade games onto the console so you can play old shoot em ups and pretty much any old game you loved when you were real young. it is a beautiful black color, which (IMO only) looks soooo much better. it has HDMI, which again, you can use just the composite cables and unless you have a huge TV you wont see the difference between 720p and 1080i. if i were you, and had the money, was a pretty serious gamer and a 360 fan, i would go for the elite. but i think the premium is more than enough system for common gamers

the core has less memory than the 360 and the elite is black

The xbox 360 core package is the base model. The xbox 360 has wireless controllers. The Elite is the best it is black color. It has about 120 gegabyte of memory. That's a whole lot of room for stuff to save. And it has wireless controllers too.

the core is your plain basic 360. it has no hard drive, and comes with a wired controller. the 360 pro system comes with a 20 gig hard drive, a wireless controller, an ethernet cable and a head set. the elite is black, and it's more for they hd gamers. it has an hdmi port and cable, 120 gig hard drive. it's just a nice machine. that's what i have.

the difference is the elite has a superdrive and cost more. Get the elite if you are getting one. Also the elite is black.

an elite 1 got more memory and it's black

Core system has one pad and 34mb memory card. xbox 360 also has premium package with hard drive ranging from 10-20gb 360 Elite is black, better made, more eficcient and has 120gb hard drive.
