where are you getting the 90 bucks thing?

199 + 30 (found a bunch on ebay for this)+ 45 or a year of live

so that puts yeah about 274


so its still a good deal

let's just say... "i bought this at this price on eBay".. really isn't a good argument.

it's the MSRP people always refer to.

 

Unlike you being in this topic, that wasn't meant to be an argument. Mesoteto was giving Leetgeek a real suggestion on where to get a 20GB hard drive cheaper than retail because that is a major buying concern he had. People can refer to the MSRP all they want, but a smart shopper looks for the bargain on what they want. If you want to buy your crap at Walmart at retail be my guest. Some of us would like to make you money go further. I know Zenfolder will back me up on this. He loves eBay and buys almost all of his 360 stuff on there as do I.

 

i was going to defend myelf but i dont have to know you have basicly done it for me, i have no problem with ebay and love the fact that i can get more gamefor my buck...
when my system was ganked i did go to walmart for the 299 new sku,
but then i went to ebay for wifi adapter, 60 bucks (20 extra dollars for games) 15 for an extra wired controlerand them spent about 30 bucks and got crackdown, mass effeect, and saints rowm then also tenchu z
so i am not going to compalin

 

 

What's so funny is hearing people that think it's so unsafe shopping over eBay. I have bought off there a few hundred times and have gotten what I asked for in the condition I expected every single time. You'd be surprised at how well the reputation system works eBay-haters.

Also good luck retro game shopping at Walmart. I heard they've got a great N64 and Saturn selection there.

On eBay I can buy things for my 360 that cannot even be purchased elsewhere, like custom made arcade sticks built from real arcade cabinets. They put Hori fighting sticks to shame and are custom built for you on eBay for $40-70. Good luck even finding a Hori fighting stick at Walmart, let alone what I can get off eBay.
