  • Bought a Used XBOX360

    Just a few days ago I was bored and browsing craigslist.org and came across an ad for an XBOX360 with 8 Games, one controller and all cables (power, av) inclusive for 140$! I figured, what the hell… Let me offer this guy 100$ and see if he bites.

    Sure enough, he did and for 100$ I’m in the game. Only one problem with the system and that is that it is sometimes quirky to open the Disc Drive, I have had to often turn the system off and then on again to get the drive to respond. What the hell, anyways only 100$ and the drive opens more often than not so I’m fair game for what I received.

    I’ll come around and update this post with pix and the games list. Also, the controller is wirelss and PINK!
