Well,

Seeing as your budget will let you get any model the only thing you need to consider is,

Do you really need 120GB of storage,..or will 20GIG's do you fine,

The cost difference between the elite and premium will mean you will be able to pick up atleast 2 games and a controller for the price of the elite,

Both the consoles are exactly identical bar the elite is all black and has 100 more gigabytes.

My opinion is that 20GB is far more than adequate for storing songs/demos/game saves etc so I'd recommend getting a premium edition.

The arcade version simply isn't worth getting as the price difference simply doesn't justify not gaining a HDD, HDTV cable and live headset.

You might want to know that all of the new Microsofts consoles contain the new flacon motherboards,GPU's and CD drives,

these are said to have a 30% less chance of failure,..whether this is true or not I'd definately make sure you get the latest hardware as anything would be an improvement on the old batches,...

Old batches are still out there so a simple check to see if you're getting the latest one is to look at the PSU unit first and make sure it is 175W,....if it says 203W DO NOT accept and insist on the lower wattage,

also you can check the cd drive, the new ones come with a BenQ drive:

Xbox 360 DVD Drive Comparison How to determine which version DVD drive you have in your Xbox 360, Samsung, Hitachi, Benq

All latest editions also feature HDMI ports also,..

So there you go,...upto you really!
