    You know what they say about something looking too good to be true.
    I'd exercise caution.

    One of the first flags is no business name or identity listed anywhere on the site. Just for fun, I called the contact number. A voice says "THIS IS A SCAM DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER"

    my 2 cents.....regardless of where you buy it... pick up Lost Oddessy its a great traditional Japanese style RPG from the creators of Final Fantasy and it is breathtaking.... Not a revolutionary game but certainly a masterpiece...Oh yeah Mass Effect too...if you like Sci-fi...

    craigslist usually has a few used xbox's pretty cheap. I got one a few weeks back that was listed as having a drive that could not read disks. It came with a 20g hard drive, one controller, power and av cables, and halo 3.
    I took it home, opened it up, used an air can to spray out a load of soot (the owner was for sure a huge smoker, either that or the xbox was next to a fire pit.)
    I used a lens wipe to clean the DVD lens (had to remove the DVD drive and open it up, but was super easy)

    long story short, it works now and the bundle cost me $105.00. I also got another unit a week prior to that with a drive that wouldn't open for $60.00 (no controller or HDD or games included), got that one to work as well . Later I got deals on 2 controllers and an HDD. SO all in all I got two 360's with a good game for $265.00. It's a risk because I would assume at least 1/4 of the cheap used ones sold on craigslist don't work. My buddy got grifted for on for $135.00, no HDD, no controllers. I'm trying to fix it now. Anyway good luck

    heheh you said doody

    I still like Halo3 best especially for multiplayer and ease of controls. Bioshock is possible #1 seed as well though. And eventhough old Star Wars Battlefronts II is great. GTA IV = overhyped.

    Don't listen to Br#9 as he is obviously certifiably insane. GTA4 rocks.
