360 Premium Or 360 Elite?

I have 500$ and im buying a 360,
On one hand theres the Elite for $450+Tax=$472.50, I really like the black, I have a standard tv so the HDMI is useless, and i know someday when there is a homebrew community i will likely use the 120gb hdd.
On the other hand i could get the Premium for $100 less at a mere $350+Tax=$367.50, This would leave me money for any other expenses such as a game, live, some live points. However isnt as sexy and has only a 20gb hdd.
I wanted to get some other opinions so feel free to post and please vote!

The Premium consoles now have HDMI. You'd be saving like $120 by buying the Elite, because the 120gb hard drive costs around $170. That's the only difference in the two. In the long run, you'd probably save money buying Elite.

Along the lines of what Tural said, if you know you will eventually get a bigger hard drive, go with the Elite. Otherwise, I would probably get the Premium.

Well, that's only true if he plans on buying a 120GB HD. If he never decides to get a new HD, then the better choice would be the Premium. If it were me, with 500 big ones, the Elite would be my choice.

He's suggesting it as a third option.

If you only liked the colour and never wanted a bigger HDD than I would have said buy premium and order a case mod online for it. But as it is just Buy the elite and be cool like me :p
...And then later when you tire of the off-black of the elite, buy a case mod :p
