I have seen an ad a few times recently advertising xbox 360 premium bundles (everything but the games) for $35.

I know it sounds like complete BS, but has anyone actually tried this and KNOW that it is a scam or if it happens to be real?

Don't believe this. It's a scam. Do a google search and see.

Use some common sense - of course its a scam

if you want to give your credit card details to someone running a scam be my guest.

But first of all THINK - 360 consoles being sold as faulty on ebay always sell for more than $35, so why on earth would anyone sell a working one for $35, or less than the cost of one budget game.

I really wish the mods would start locking these topics on sight as they are popping up far too frequently, this and those referrals links to offers to get one.

I go by the same rule of thumb, except for if it's too good to be true... it is.

Common sense isn't as common as you may think.

Okay I appreciate people posting, but there are two things.

1.) The comments about my common sense weren't necessary because I know how it sounds and EVERYONE knows the old edict, "if it sounds too good to be true, it is."

2.) I was hoping someone actually had taken the risk and ordered one and can CONFIRM (without a doubt) that it is a scam.

Wow, you're really lucky.

I told a friend of mine about the 360 for $35 and they decided to give it a shot using a visa gift card. So that's gonna be my test. I hope for their sake that it's legit.

I don't know about "a few days", but we'll see the results in a little while.

My friend's a patient man and he said he'll give them 3 weeks to a month. It's been about a week.
