I definitely recommend the Premium over the Core.
I've had the 360 since January, and have never had any heating issues whatsoever. You'll also definitely want the hard drive for downloading demos, high definition trailers, xbox live arcade games, etc. The large amount of space also means that you never have to worry about save games. Xbox Live is a fine addition if online gaming is your thing. Just don't be expecting awesome game lobbies ala Battle.net. Jam it back in, in the dark.

It just doesn't make sense to get the Core. You're already paying so much for the system, and will likely pay more somewhere down the line for Xbox Live. Not being able to use the system to its full potential is just plain stupid. Microsoft wants you to buy the Core.
There's nowhere I can't reach.

If you look at the current catalog of games, it isn't even close to as impressive as recent PS2 titles. However, the achievements, friends list, Xbox Live Arcade, new demos, new videos just makes it so much more of an entertainment system beyond the regular games alone. It's the achievements that makes games like Dead Rising (a mediocre GTA clone with zombies had it been released for PS2, now a best-selling Xbox 360 title). Online makes you play games differently and strive to conquer those goals. For example, just right now, I'm downloading to try out the Lumines trial demo that was just released. The size is 50.61 MB, I don't even think twice, but this won't be the case for those on memory cards. In essence, you'll want your Xbox 360 hooked up online at the very least, and with that you'll want space for all the free goodies. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
