Title: Looking for an Xbox, or Xbox 360
Post by: kingrat101 on May 01, 2012, 09:53:11 pm

Hey guys, I was thinking of buying both the original Xbox and the 360, what seems like a decent price for a used one?
Or should I even bother looking for used ones, I know the 360's tend to have a problem, what with the "red ring of death" issue, whats your thoughts?

I wouldn't pay more than $30 for an original xbox. As far as the 360's go, just make sure you get a slim. They are much more reliable than the original models.

I wouldn't pay more than 20$ for an original Xbox unless it comes with a bunch of games.

Ok Cool thanks for the info guys, I saw the original at a thrift store today with two controllers and and the cables for $60 and thought that was a little pricey.

Ha! I might have one up in the attic I can sell for less than half that!

Unfortunately, shipping would be an issue.

I would look for the original for about 25 and as @darko said, get a Slim. I never had a problem with my original 360 but the slim is much quieter and just looks better.
