Xbox 360

I am sure there is a thread in here somewher about this, but searching pulls up nothing.

I have decided that I am going to get the 360. I am tired of waiting for the PS3 and also don't want to pay the reported price for it.

I have tried to research this system, but most of the info I can find on it was when it was first released or even before that. I know that the first batch of systems had a lot of bad ones in it. I figure those have been weeded out by now.

My dilemma is that I don't know if I need to core system or to spring for the premium for $100 more. Most of the gadgets in the premium setup are not for me. I do not play anything online, don't like the idea of a wireless controller, have little need for a dard drive. I do want the component cable though ($40 if bought seperately).

From my research it would seem that there is absolutely no way to save a game unless I either buy a 64MB memory card ($40) or have the hard drive. Is this correct?

I have had a PS2 since 2001 and have had the same 8MB memory card since. I just don't need a lot of space to save games unless the 360 saves are large.

This is what I want in my system:
console
wired controller
some way to save game progress
component cable


So which setup is right for me?
