I've got $250 and I've decided its time to get a 360, perferably an elite. Were can I find a WORKING used elite for that price? Would it be more worth it to just save and buy a new one?

If you've only got $250 to your name a video game console seems to be a pretty irresponsible purchase.

buy new. why waste your money on a used xbox that will 9 times out of 10 will have a problem. save the money and wait until you have enough for a new elite.

Never buy used, people just fix broken ones then sell them. Just save the extra bit or look for a good deal.

keep saving.... don't get the arcade or you regret not having hard drive... gamestop would be your best bet if you want used one... if you do that see if game stop will give you a warranty for small fee for a year.

What makes you think he only has $250 to his name? :| Jumping the gun just a bit, don't you think? Buy new, especially with consoles.

Save up and buy a new one. Many are broken, have a little trick done then are resold.

Like others, I suggest saving up and buying new -- especially for an Xbox 360 (notorious for hardware issues). Plus, you're almost there ... just get like $80 [factoring taxes] and you should be good to get a nice, new bundle.

How do you know that he only has $250 to his name. Maybe he has been saving for awhile and that is all extra money he has put aside for this purchase in particular. The fact that he has anything saved in this economy is prettty good. Plus, the dude could be a kid who gets an allowance or works a part time job while living at home. Before you call someone irresponsible you should get more info.
