I would say this, there is a new service Microsoft just announced that they will be offering Xbox 1 games as downloads over Xbox Live.

The question I pose to you is, will you be one to take advantage of a lot of Xbox Lives downloading features? (Xbox Live Arcade, Xbox 1 games, Media downloads like movies and tv shows, game demos and trailers)

If you are the best purchase would be the Xbox 360 Elite model since it comes with a 120gb HDD. If you aren't going to be utilizing the above features and merely just saving your games to your HDD, then I'd reccomend the premium console.

Whatever you do though do your homework on which models are the new fixed models (of any of the types) All older 360s have a manufacturing defect with the clamps on the heatsink which is the main cause for the famous 3 Red Lights error that so many have gotten. It's not a guarantee that you will get get the problem if you get a model plagued with it, but it's pretty much a 1 in 3 chance. However there should be ways to tell if the 360 you are buying is one that does not have this problem (they put different heatsinks in them for one so you can visually tell by looking at the unit) or likely model or serial number checking.

If you put a bit more than usual time in making sure you get the newest model 360s around I think you will ultimately have a much better Xbox 360 experience.
