Grab an Xbox360 - Ridiculous Price

lakitu · 19 Dec 2010 at 14:01

So I bought a pre owned XBOX360 yesterday for £50 from a well known game rental store. Couldn't believe the price when I enquired!

Only just posting now as I haven't been able to unplug myself, broke up for Xmas and hooked it up to the projector for some Forza 3 loving.

The offer is nationwide if anyone is interested in grabbing a real bargain.

"pre-owned Xbox 360" - words that shouldn't really go together, what kind of warranty do you get ?

lakitu · 19 Dec 2010 at 14:21

6 months.

I picked up mine straight after having unprotected sex with a prostitute.

Just kidding............I'd never get a second hand 360

True, but for £50 boys can you really complain?

lakitu · 19 Dec 2010 at 14:27

I didn't think they were that bad, how long is the warranty when new?

I imagine it's an arcade too. Really great for someone who's never had one and they're dipping their toe in though

Probably best to pay that bit extra for a hard drive and warranty though. There's a site doing preowned elite 120gb with a one year guarantee for 90 quid.
I imagine I'm not allowed to mention them though.

I give it 3 months before it breaks.

My favourite is buying broken ones off ebay for 20 quid then fixing them, I have 3 launch day consoles in the house now.

In all honesty, you can't really go wrong or £50. Well worth a go at that sort of price, especially with a warranty for a bit of piece of mind.

Bunch of wimps, my second hand xbox has been going strong* for 2 years now

*i may or may not have had to replace the laser

Semiskimmed · 19 Dec 2010 at 20:38

gonna try to get one of these for £50!

C64 · 19 Dec 2010 at 20:47

Try and pick out a jasper chipset model and you are laughing

Fireblade2K4 · 19 Dec 2010 at 22:00

It's worth it for £50 I guess ... might get me a spare for when I'm away from home so I can game where ever I go
