The core pack is backward compatible but you will have to a buy a hard drive for it separately, whereas the hard drive is alreadu included in the premium pack.

They all come with silver xbox live, all that means is you can upload scores or something similar, you need gold to play.
You get a hard drive, hd cable, remote, headset, wireless controllers.
Well worth the extra money.

No hd cable with the core, you get a crappy normal composite cable with scart adaptor.

Component is one of the best connections you can get to a TV. what you get in the premium.
And worst bieng Composite which is what you get with the Core.
Also regarding the GAME bundles.
I got myn from them and they said only sell in bundles (4 games) thankfully i had done my research and had phoned up the GAME customer services to ask them are they allowed to sell them with just the console and they said only if the customer asks and the shop should just sell the console by itself.
Went to the shop and said can i have a 360 they said yes but with 4 games i said no thanks i just want the console, i stood there and said i was entitled to just have the 360, but he wanst budging so i asked to speak to the manager he came out and said the same thing.
So i told him ring your customer services department and ask and low and behold they said they must sell just the console if a customer asks.(me)
Just stand your ground and eventually you'll get one.
Another way you could do it is buy the bundle and say i want to return the games please. I know some people who have done this and worked.
Though i think GAME are trying to stop people doing this now.

yeah thats fine if you have a connection to put the three conections straight, you'd be surprised what a difference it makes with an advanced scart
