$400 = Hard Drive, wireless controller, some other crap = backwards compatability, downloads, preloaded games, updates. the $300 version doesn't have any of that.

The $299 will require a $39 memory card purchase just to save a game. Additionally, if you have an Xbox then you would need to spend an additional $99 for a hard drive to have any backward compatibility (which requires the ability to connect your 360 to the Internet via a broadband (cable/DSL) connection.
Your best bet... if you can find one is to go for the $399. The Sony PS3 might be a better deal... but it doesn't release until Mar06 at the earliest. It will release at $399 or more.
The $399 360 includes: 20G hard drive (backward compatibility) Wireless controller Xbox Live headset HDTV connection cables Remote Controller 2 month Xbox Live account
Good luck finding one. It's the Sony PS2 launch all over again... only a handful (19) of games and the systems are in short supply.
