Got any bathroom scales?

Stick everything on them and then get the weight. Round it up to the nearest whole number then ask at your post office the best way of sending it and how much it will set you back.

Sadly i dont have any scales, Ill need to invest in some or borrow

why not pack it all up, and take it to a PO to weigh it?

Do you work in an office? If you have a post room, they should be able to weigh (and send) it for you.

If you've got a Staples near you they do £8 DHL Courier service (up to 30kgs)

Id also advise that you pack it all up, and take it to the post office.

That way you know your exact price.

Sounds about right, DHL work with parcel2go.com also.

Xbox is a chunky old beast so it'll be at least a tenner, down the post office it might be as much as 20 so DHL is best I think. They'll collect from your house if you ask nice

Since quite a while ago.

Your not going to get an xbox with 50 games for under £8 through Royal Mail.

I posted my one with a couple of games and accessories and posted it for £18 at Parcelforce (48hr), there might be a depot near you.
