I'm going to buy a 360. But first I have a quick questions.

I'm planning on getting the premium. Do these include the 2nd heat sink + quieter drive? Or are those only in the Elites? How do I know if I get the 2nd heat sink?

It should say on the box, or through the little flip-tab you can open on the box. It's called the Zephyr.

I believe they do, those with hdmi. Not 100% on that tho

you can use a camera and take a photo through one of the side holes to confirm, but its unlikely you could see the second heatsink with your eyes through there.

Most have the new quieter, benq drive nowadays. You can check this by pressing eject and looking at the holes in the drive, which obviously does not void the warranty.

I'm pretty sure all the ones with HDMI have the 2nd heat sink and quieter drive. I know mine does.
