I know this likely won't interest you, but I figured I'd throw it out there. You can get a new Xbox/Kinect at the Microsoft Store for $99. You have to agree to a 2 year contract for Xbox Live @ $15 a month, but it lowers the cost for you up front significantly (increases on the back end, but they have to make their money somehow). Plus you won't have to worry about his "new" Xbox dying on him immediately.
rawool, i foolishly bought two Xbox 360 Holiday Bundle packs during the craze last holiday thinking I could sell one for profit. The other one has been sitting in my closet unopened since then because I have just been too busy/lazy to do anything about it. I posted in here ages ago trying to even make 20 bucks profit on it, but I just want it off my hands so I will sell it to you for the exact price I got it from Best Buy at 216. It was 200, but with tax I believe that's what it came out to. The Holiday bundle with the 250GB normally sells for $300 (you can check amazon). This was a deal tons of people were clamoring for but I really don't care about a profit anymore. It includes a pretty solid amount of stuff: • Xbox 360 250GB S Console • Halo Reach • Fable 3 • Xbox 360 Black Wireless Controller • Xbox 360 Headset • Xbox 360 Composite A/V cable (standard definition) • 3 Months Xbox LIVE Gold Membership • 1 year limited warranty on console It's in a cardboard box but if you'd like me to open it and take a picture to prove it I will. That being said, I understand you want kinect and if you don't think these games are age appropriate you can resell them and put it towards Kinect. The 250 GB is an absolute must, do not buy the 4GB whether or not you take me up on my offer, it is a pain in the ass and you will inevitably upgrade. Let me know if you're interested, I live in the medical center area in Houston.
again here is the link, if rawool is not interested, anyone else let me know: http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-250GB-Holiday-Value-Bundle/dp/B005VBVQBU/ref=sr_1_6?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1338909089&sr=1-6 It is selling for 299, and I am selling for 216.
hahaha it's a stupid deal on my part to be honest, but i just want to break even because i'm lazy and it's clutchfans so there is an iota of "doing something good." surprised that he posts this but doesnt check it?? maybe he already found one. any other takers?
