Xbox 360 Premium bids on eBay skyrocket

There will be two editions of the Xbox 360. The Xbox 360 Premium Edition will sell for $399.99 USD (€399.99, £279.99). The Xbox 360 Premium edition will have a signature metallic detailing and comes bundled with 20GB Xbox 360 Hard Drive, Xbox 360 Wireless Controller, Xbox 360 Faceplate, Xbox 360 Headset, Xbox 360 Component HD-AV Cable, Xbox Live Silver membership and a bonus Media Remote Control (limited time only). The Xbox 360 Core System is going to sell for $299.99USD (€299.99, £209.99).
It comes without the Xbox 360 hard drive and only with a wired Xbox 360 controller. Both of those missing components already make the Xbox 360 core system a pretty dull choice.
