Ok after being stuck at work till after 10pm one night I stopped off at McDonalds for emergency "food" on the way home. Much to my suprise I won an Xbox on there monopoly thingy.

Now I own 2 Xboxs already (one in the living room on live and one in my bedroom as a media Extender).
Its typical that I for the first time in my life win something and its something I dont need.

What should I do? the ones I have are 3 years and 1 year old, both 20gb pros. I think the new one is a 60gb.

Should I:-
A) sell the old one (Trade it against a PS3 in a local shop) think id get £75 trade in for it. and I do quite fancy having a PS3 even if it does open a world of connection problems (only one HDMI on TV and not enough opticals for my Amp)

B) Sell the new unopened 60GB one, Whats that worth? £125? Is a 60GB drive worth having over a 20GB? Ok ive had to blank some old mappacks for GRAW1 but do I really need 60GB? will the 60GB machine be much quieter? my old xbox in the bedroom is pretty darn load after a while on a saturday morning in bed watching stuff.
 
Try the 60GB see if its any quiter as even if you trade it in sealed you get nothing extra for it so may aswell.

If its not trade the 60GB in for a PS3 as the 60GB will have more trade in value than a 20GB

Personally i own the 360/PS3 and i couldnt just have one as their both great in their own ways
 
Replace your much older one with a newer one, simpy because of the bigger hard drive and of course its NEW. So Option A would be my personal choice.

I think you can get like those 5-in-1 extra HDMI boxes like you do with SCART connections so that wouldn't be a problem.
 
You could try auctioning off the new xbox while its still sealed, you should get more money for it that way rather than trading it in. Means you'd have to pay less money for a PS3 :)
