I am debating between buying the Cheaper less capable Xbox 360 or the Premium which has alot of extras. But i dont know if having these extras is worth the money. What console do you own, which is better between the two?

You need the middle one... Not the cheapie and not the Elite.
You save in the long run as you will eventually buy a hard drive for $99 or more... Just buy it up front.

Depends on what's important to you.
Cheapie system comes with no hard drive (thus no online) and a wired controler.
Next one up (what I have) comes with a HD and a wireless control, and a poopy headset.
Elite has HDMI...and it's black.
Halo version has a play and charge kit which is nice, and looks sweet.
I would recommend getting the middle one, and then buying a black controller. They feel much nicer in your hands. If you do decide to get a cheapie one, you don't need to buy the $99 microsoft HD, any external hard drive with a USB plug will work on 360.

Get the premium. The premium now comes with an HDMI port. If it was manufactured after July 4th, it'll have one. The elite just has a 100gb hd and is a different color. Definitely not worth the extra money.

Premium = has a hard drive. Saving games is FTW, unless you planning on grinding through Gears of War or Halo 3 on one sitting.
+100 gigs from the Elite doesn't appeal to me, I could only see that being worth it if I imported a lot of tunes to the 360 and a bunch of emulators and hax goodies.

I did find the hard drives to be cramped for size and wanted the 120gb model. The price for the drive alone was around 150$ but the price difference in the premium and elite was 99$, its a no brainier. The price is higher of course but the value is there.
PS: if you spell "The" as "THe" firefox tries to correct it as THC. Just found that little fun fact...
