I don't know if anyone posted this or not yet.. but.. target has the old style arcade on sale for 130 (apparently, in their ad it says 150 but they lowered it to 130 because it says it comes with a headset but doesn't) plus a 50 dollar gift card. I'm sure it's on sale to move out stock to make room for the new SCU, but it's a pretty good deal for anyone looking to get a xbox with usb port, newer cpu, ect. fastr
wow thats unreal
I have one lol...Just waiting on my transfer cable from MS to play it.[QUOTE="wolverine4262"]

EDIT: It looks beatuiful when you put it next to a PS3 phat. It is like they were made for eachother.
very true I have a fat also, the black gloss I always loved, yeah well I have 1 set of AV cords so I have to buy one which will probably be 20 so im looking at like 324, thinking im doing it in the morning, you think Gamestop employees will get mad if I bring in a boat load of this? lol
its their job. Make sure you get used cables. They work just as good. Im guessing you will get hdmi cables. The ps3 section has then used. The console probably wont be in stock though.[QUOTE="ProjectNatalFan"][QUOTE="wolverine4262"] I have one lol...Just waiting on my transfer cable from MS to play it.

Its identical to the black controller except that it has a glossy guide button that matches the circle on the system.yeah well I have to buy the AV pack with each 360 I sell to them, and I have only 1 A/V cable so ill give them that and buy another and then sell the 2nd 360 lol.

Got mine at gamestop only had to pay $50. Its sooo quiet compared to my launch 360 which had started to rrod. Lol have fun with my nearly broken 360 gamestop!
I don't think I need one, I have two 360's that work...but most importantly, I don't want the first batch. I don't want to beta test these suckers, so my advice is for people to wait a month or so. Check out Kuu's picture below posted in this thread as proof, to see what I've been saying for years, I don't like beta testing hardware.
Also, I'm not eager to RE-buy things and buy things again, that's also why I didn't buy a PS3 Slim. I already rebought a 360 for the Halo 360, I'm done.
Let this thread stand as an example on why companies re-release their hardware (DS's, GBA's, PSOne, PSTwo, PS3 Slim, N64 colors, GC colors), fans get excited and rebuy it.

He isnt lying. THere are other pics showing the dashboard with the error message.putting mine in the entertainment center was so annoying. i kept accidentally hitting the disc drive "button" while trying to put cables into the back of it.
I got mine. Got $130 towards it with my 2008 pro ($100 for console $30 for 20gb HDD). Also picked up 3 games with their buy 2 get 1 free deal. Good day for me! So far this thing is amazing. Such an improvement. Got rid of another network cable since it has Wi-Fi too. Now everything in my home theatre hooked up to the internet is wireless!

Haha same here!
seems like most people are upgrading. i wonder how many floating used 360s there will be after all this and what the attach rate is going to be.
I called in today and they have one available, I went there to tally up my stuff and I would have only paid $63 for it. I had a $42 store credit too, so I would have paid $21 bucks to get rid of stuff I haven't used and played for the longest to get the latest and greatest. But when the GS guy told me the new 360 he was going to give was from a guy whose wife that got mad at him so he returned it, I didn't bite on the deal. It was the only one they had but it was a "returned" one. Who knows, those GS guys probably took it home and played with it and stuff. I wanted a new one, ah well every thing happens for a reason, so I guess I'll just wait for now.

yea you have until july 11th i believe....but who knows how fast or slow MS will be shipping these consoles
So.... would you guys say a $80 Arcade is a good deal? The problem is that I'm planning to get a Harddrive, but I'm not gonna spend $50+ for 20 GB or more. I'd only use it for installs and the ability to play online/play Xbox games(if I ever get any). I'm just waiting for HDDs to be clearanced or for the prices to go down, but I don't know if that'll happen any time soon. I wouldn't pay more than $150 for a 360, since I plan on only playing single-player games(mostly exclusives) and I already own a PS3.

buy a used HDD from Ebay. $50-60 for a 120, sometimes you can get 250s for the same price.
Meh, I'm probably going to wait until the warranty on my phat 360 runs out and that won't be for another two years. Anyway, I'm more interested in getting a Wii or PS3 at the moment.

Ebay isn't an option or else I would've done that already. I would probably need a 60 GB at most, since I'll really only use it for installs. I would even say I just need a 20 GB, but from what I've seen from PS3 installs, only about 5 games would fit on it.[QUOTE="HavocV3"][QUOTE="RogueShodown"]

I would even say I just need a 20 GB, but from what I've seen from PS3 installs, only about 5 games would fit on it.a 20 would only fit about 2-3 games. 3 would only work if L4D2 or BC2 were what you had with 1 other game.
I suggest the 60 Gb at least. my 120 has around 10 installs a bunch of demos, and other random things and I only used ~55-60 Gb.
if you only play around 1-3 games at a time and have no interest in arcade titles, then a 20 would work. but I would still suggest a 60 at minimum.
use a usb hard drive, its MLG legit proSo.... would you guys say a $80 Arcade is a good deal? The problem is that I'm planning to get a Harddrive, but I'm not gonna spend $50+ for 20 GB or more.

Is the trade in offer still on? I was gonna go today but couldn't and GS' site says the offer expired yesterday :SArbiterisl33t69
The offer expires July 18th.
1 console, they dont allow u to sell 2, 1 controller, red dead redemption, alan wake, 3 Hard drives 2 20 gigs, and a 60 gig, an AV cable and Madden 10 and I got286 and prepaid mine at GAMESTOP. SO i was gonna return 2 consoles but ended up returning 1 console so I kept my 360 and just used a 8 gig USB flash memory and it all worked out. UPgraded for basically nothing, gotta love Gamestop. Oh yah and I got Game Informer mag for a year with all this.

Hmmm, may think about it then. But the slim only has a one year warranty though. I'd be losing a year of extra security if I trade up.

I couldnt stand GTA with horses and i knew thats exactly what it was going to be, but my idiotic friend made me get it.

If it works, it works. They check in store if it functions properly.do they check if its been fixed by ms. if so will they still takes a fixed E74 error system?

I couldnt stand GTA with horses and i knew thats exactly what it was going to be, but my idiotic friend made me getFizzmanI know dude, i hate it when a really good developer studio who is experienced in a genre decide to make another game in that genre. I especially hate it when it gets really good scores and i play it alot with my friends online.
I just don't understand people buying a system when they know its going to RROD. I will never buy a system with as much hardware failure as the 360. No Thanks.pstripl3Please P S TRI PL3, enlighten us on this matter.
Not yet, Due to MS's lack of care in terms of its non US consumers, I have to wait another 2-3 weeks to get mine
Hopefully, my store will do a promotion, I'm not accepting £100 for my 120GB Elite
Then Microsoft decide to release Kinect for £120 compared to $150.....Not good MS....Not Good
Yes. I traded in a Arcade system i bought used over two years ago, along with a used 60 gig harddrive and wireless adaptor. My system was in bad shape. A plasma tv literally fell on top of my xbox, gouging out pieces of plastic, and my power brick was covered in dried lizard poop from my pet lizard, plus my wired controller was partially chewed on from my pet rat. I got $185 for all that junk. The Gamestop employee was looking at it in disgust, but he never said anything to me, he just tested everything..it all worked. So, now i have a nice shinny new 360 with more harddrive space and wireless N and a wireless controller. Thanks Gamestop.
I was thinking of getting one but the lack of good games on it annoys me, at $299 just isnt worth it but i'll keep checking it from time to time hopefully for a price drop maybe if not on the new one then on the old one, $300 isnt little not to mention taxs, games and paying online, not in a hurry personally but congrats to everyone who got one
[QUOTE="RyanShazam"]usb drives or the transfer kit. They sell the transfer kits at Gamestops and Walmarts now for $19.99. That way you dont have to call MS for one.Hey. How are you guys able to transfer your games saves over to the new Xbox?

Sweet i think i saved my Mass Effect 2 file onto a flash drive. Thats the only game i care about :)
[QUOTE="RyanShazam"]usb drives or the transfer kit. They sell the transfer kits at Gamestops and Walmarts now for $19.99. That way you dont have to call MS for one. that, and if you really want to do it on the cheap, just store your game saves on a memory card (i think a usb thumb drive works, too). your gamertag ties into any xbl purchases, so you can re-download anything you lost.Hey. How are you guys able to transfer your games saves over to the new Xbox?
