Can someone explain the difference between the Xbox 360 elite and the regular 360? Not the core system.?

I’m a die hard Sony fan, so I never paid that much attention to the 360 specs when the systems were first coming out. I’m finally deciding to get one, since I love Halo and my laptop hates me because of it, but I don’t know which one is better. Can’t you upgrade 360’s later on? Thanks for all the help and sorry for sounding so Xbox hopeless.

The elite is black, has a 120 gig hard drive, the premium is white and only has a 20 gig hard drive. The major difference was that the elite had HDMI and the others did not. Now all 360’s are being shipped with an HDMI port so now the only advantage of the elite is the huge hard drive. I own an elite and I love it. Its much better for people who plan on downloading movies, trailers, demos and tons of arcade games. If you had the 20 gig the HD would fill up fast.
And to answer your question about upgrading, yes you can. IF you purchase the 20 gig you can buy the 120 gig HD later to replace your 20 gig but it will cost you 179 dollars. So you are pretty much better off buying the elite right away.
The Elite model is black, has a 120 GB hard drive as opposed to the smaller 20 GB hard drive that the premium model has, and it has an HDMI port, optimized for HDTV. Those are the only differences.
Their is only a few differences the elite is black and comes with a 120GB hd. The new premium 360 also has a hdmi port.
Premium Xbox 360 (regular) has:
Matte white + chrome exterior finish
20 GB detachable hard drive
2.4 GHz wireless controller
Ethernet cable
Xbox 360 Headset
Xbox Media Remote
HDMI (v1.2) Out Port
Component cables
Composite cables
TOSLINK output port
Stereo RCA cables
Xbox Live Silver
Month of Xbox LIVE Gold
Xbox 360 Elite has all of the above except:
Matte black + chrome exterior finish
120 GB detachable hard drive
and no Xbox Media Remote
But obvisouly the price different.
