You can pick one up for peanuts if you buy a used bundle.

I can buy a used 360 with a 4 or 5 games and a couple of controllers + HDD . for less that $200

Then just sell the controllers $30 each because you already have one and sell the games for $25 each and you have just got a 360 for $40 or less.

I do this once or twice a week .

[Demonchild]

Wait.. Once or twice a week and you haven't sent me one yet?

I know where I'm coming the next time I come to Canada.

Someone sold me a 2008 model 360 (BenQ) a few days ago with RROD for $25 . I was going to get my friend to Xclamp it or try a walmart swap but i decided to just check to see if it had been registered to anyone first and it wasn't. Now it is registered in my name and M$ are fixing it for free lol

My 3 yr old son owns a 2008 modded Elite that i got for around $30 and a few weeks back i got a Wii with 10 games for $150 (The kid needed $150 to go towards his new gaming PC ) I traded the games for $150 alone and sold the Free Wii for $200

Just some quick info...
Wave 4 games will not run on Benq V1.51. so if you are having issues with any new games it is because you have a BenQ drive and you must update your 360 from 1.51 and use the Activate.iso disc

[Jsamp]

What exactly does the Activate.iso do anyway? I know it will let you boot games that wont boot on 1.6 firmware but wont you risk getting banned?

[Demonchild]

You will still run the risk getting banned.

But due to how iXtreme works, this is the way to bypass the wave check. Read more about Wave 4 here:

So I should try buying a used one?

To bad they are more expensive then a new one here.
Cheapest used one in Sweden(Arcade+2Games): 287,06 USD (2100SEK).

Cheapest new Arcade: 265,73 USD (1944SEK)

On the other hand the 2nd cheapest one in Sweden goes for 2200SEK (300,73USD) and comes with 2 wireless controllers and 7 games


If I buy the one for 300USD what do you think I could sell the 7 games for since I won't need those?

In Canada i use this to price my games :
http://www.tivs.ca/ I normally price my games $5 higher than the trade in value at futureshop unless it is a popular game like GTA IV or Halo 3 because they sell for $25-$35 easily or i sometimes trade unwanted games in for Verbatim discs at futureshop lol

Another good thing to do is find out if they have any offers on ..... EB was doing a trade of 3 games for a new Wii Fit + Balance board for $49 ..... So i got the Wii Fit for my 3 games + $49 went out to my car unpacked it and took the Wii fit game back into the store and they gave me $35 for it . So i got my Balance board for $15 lol

if that was the case, can't we just take the HD and fake memory card to a non-updated xbox and transfer the files?
