yup, its working. i could test it till my heart stops beating.

well, i managed to shave off $11 from the second deal. plus, i got the guy to include all of his games. so its $200 for a 20gig xbox360 with 1 controller etc etc and 20 games.

then after all the haggling, i said i'd think about it. hahaha

get the games from him. but not the console.

buy a new 360

get the 360 that you want but dont get a ps2 or wii its not what your looking for.

No u should wait a little bit could come a price cut for 360 in september.

I'd get the arcade and not even get a Hard drive and play it offline. $199 flat.

If you want to save, check out ebay - going through ebay also allows you to purchase a warranty through Squaretrade.

Ton of good 360 auctions but you have to be dedicated in your search and bid last second.

I found a system for a friend recently - 360 Pro with 20gb, 2 wireless controllers, 1600 point card for live, headset, and 7 games for 225 after shipping. Two year warranty through squaretrade after coupon (google for coupon codes) was 25 bucks.

It's pretty damn good considering the 2 year warranty.

Buy it and sell the 360 (keep the hard drive and everything else) to someone else for $150
