Xbox 360 2nd hand prices...

[JonB]

My housemate has a Xbox 360 that she got free with her mobile contract and she has only used it a few times to watch DVD's. It has no games and one wireless controller and she want's £150 for it. I presume it would only be the core system as it came with a mobile contract.

What do you think I should haggle her for? Considering I could get the Arcade pack new for £190.

Just seen one of the same description go for £120 on ebay, so have offered that. If she says no will just buy a new one in the New Year.

Offer 100 notes cash and wave it under her nose and I'm sure it will be yours.

Otherwise just punch her in the tits. Sorry I couldnt resist.

Ahhh, well she hasn't got the original box for it. Bummer. Could you still send it back by warranty without a box?

Premium system she got then. What do you reckon would be a reasonable offer?

most mobile contracts supplied core systems so double check. probs only worth about £120 tops for a second hand core.

if its a premium though (will have a hard drive fitted to it, a chrome dvd bezel and eject button, wired headset and a video cable with 6 phono plugs on the end as well as the woreless controller) then its worth more. id pay no more than £180 tops for a premium with all the bits.

you dont need the box for warranty purposes.

Cheers, very helpful.

As it will probably break down at some point, do Microsoft require a reciept of purchase for warranty, or is it done on a serial number basis?

no mate no one so far that i know has been asked for proof of purchase. they use the S/N to determine the manufacture date which is also printed on the S/N label on the back of the case to confirm warranty entitlement
