Hi guys, xbox died a while back, and all they have for sale are these overexpensive stupid black ones.

Does anywhere still sell the old white ones new? They were reasonably priced (120 new for a white) whereas the black ones seem to be about 150 odd for a useless 4gb which would mean I'd need to get the larger one, so £200 ish.

Anyone know any good deals?

if not, anyone know any good deals on ps3 consoles? Laughing

Not sure if he still fixes/sells but you may want to talk to Ghostrider, while I've got a few fat 360s kicking around but they're all earmarked for other things/people.

To be fair, couldnt care less what it looks like, aslong as it works as it should.

My cd tray failed on mine, and i ragepunched it.

Laughing

On ebay they are £55 second hand, not bad to be fair, but how long do they have left to live? Sad

Got myself one local for £60. Seems ok! Got a game, HDD and a controller and leads. Plus a 6 month warranty.

Cool

Bah, got here too late, I would have done you a 4gb slim boxed all leads and a wireless controller for £105 inc P+P, cheers for the shout out though guys Smile

Maybe give me a shout when the phat one dies on you (and believe me, it will).

I must be very lucky. I have a fat white one that I bought new in 2008 and have not had an issue with it. Yet.
