Premium vs. Core:
1. 400 vs. 300
2. 20 gb hard drive vs. none
3. Wireless controller out of the box vs. wired controller out of the box.
4. Silver trim tray vs. regular white tray
5. Composite-component cable vs. composite cable
6. White box vs. green box
What do you want to know about using the 360? Games to get? Gears of War, Dead Rising, Dead or Alive 4, Crackdown if you want the Halo 3 Beta invitation, Fight Night Round 3, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 1 & 2.
Whether or not you want to swap it for a PS3 is up to you. Look at the games that are available exclusively to each system and what each system has to offer, then make your decision based on that. Also look into X-Box Live vs. Sony Online if you're interested in playing online with or against other players.

Premium costs more. Depending on the shop where you buy, the prices for a premium System are from $350 to $399 compared to the $299 for a core system.
Furthermore, you get the following in a premium package:
A harddisk. You absolutely need it if you want to play Xbox 1 games or want to try game demos or watch high definition download movies from the marketplace. Although a 512 MB Memory unit is announced, demos are usually between 600MB and 1 GB.
A wireless controller. Core only gets a wired controller.
A headset for Xbox Live communication. Core won't have this.
Premium has a combined high def. / Standard def. cable, that has component as well as composite connectors.
Core only has standard composite cabling.
The premium also has a chrome finish on the drive tray. Core only has a grey/white plastic tray.
And lastly (I don't know if the core also has this, as I bought the premium) you will get 1 month of free Xbox Live Gold membership for up to 5 Gamertags on your Xbox.
So all in all, its (according to Microsofts Xbox Website) a saving of about $279 if you bought a premium instead of going core and buying the accessories later on.
Regarding your PS3 question: It depends on if you are satisfied with the PS3.
If you can play the games you like, and connect it to your PC to play Movies, pictures and MP3s from the PC on your console great. The Xbox 360 does that, too. It even can replace the music in a game with your MP3s.
If you have a Media Center PC with a TV card, you can even watch TV and recorded TV shows with the Xbox like a Video Recorder.
The Xbox has a better Multiplayer management in my opinion. With the Live system you will get a small message in your game if one of your friends signs on. You can then push the guide button and see what your friends are playing and then join their game if you want, even if they are playing completely different games.
The PS3 users will only see friends that play exactly the same games.

there's no distinction between the Elite and Arcade variations of the Xbox 360 apart from the colour. So it may be greater low fee to easily purchase the 120GB stressfulchronic and stick that on there. except you pick the black console, then decide for it yet thats a super kind of funds.
