Now the question is, which one is Gratis and Offercentric shipping out? 8 referrals leads me to believe its gonna be the $400 package, but would these two companies cheapen out and send us the $300 package?

Gratis will be the Premium package. Here are the spacs:

* Backwards compatible with previous Xbox games
* Detachable, upgradeable hard drive
* Wireless controller
* HD game displays on HDTVs
* Stream media from portable music devices & Windows XP PCs
* 512 MB of GDDR3 RAM
* 3 symmetrical cores - 3.2GHz each
* 500MHz ATI graphics processor
* 12x dual-layer DVD drive that supports: DVD, DVD+-R/RW, CD-R/RW, WMA & MP3
* Built-in Ethernet port
* 2 memory unit slots
* 3 USB 2.0 ports
* Wi-Fi ready: 802.11a, b & g

Since it says “Wireless controller” and “Detachable, upgradeable hard drive” it has to be that one.
