Does the RROD make the 360 not worthwhile?

Does this XBOX 360 deal look like some kind of scam?

  • Hey! I hope I can get some opinions on this. My girlfriend bought me BF3 for xbox 360 (Yes I know I should play it on PC :( ) and I am now in the market for a 360... awkward :P Anyways, I was looking at my local kijiji site and I saw an XBOX 360 Slim (Newest model) @ 250GB. The person is selling for $240. It also comes with 2 controllers, and roughly 7 or 8 games. I believe I can test it anyways, so I will know if something bad will happen. The person, on their ad also is saying that if anything is wrong with it, I can get my money back for sure. I'm also worried that even though there may be nothing wrong software/hardware (ie - RROD, something corrupt, scratched discs), that the XBOX 360 may be banned from XBOX 360 LIVE, which would make playing BF3 completely useless, and any other game online impossible. So, the final question is, does this sound like some kind of scam? Something too good to be true? Is $240 too little for a 250GB XBOX 360, w/ two controllers, and 7-8 games? Our emails have been very casual, and there has been no pressure put on me to buy. Obviously best answer will be awarded. I know I already asked this, however, I only received 2 answers, and only one was really helpful. Please tell me what you think.

  • Answer:

    That's great but yeah thats kinda low for a new 360.. 250gb=$200-$300 games $20-$70 (I'm guessing) and controllers $60 and I don't believe newer 360's get red ring either anyway my brother got his 360 off craigslist for only $100 with a 60gb hard drive one controller and it was in perfect condition turns out the guy needed cash for college so he was willing to sell anything for a low price.. I say go ahead and buy.. As for Problems ask him if the 360 is banned/damaged/etc. hope this helped oh yeah make sure u get his info cuz it mite help later..

that is very cheap, however in certain situations you just have to be thankful for what is on the table, is it something you can go view? also are these questions your unable to ask the seller?

You have the right to ask them if it has complete access to the Live. If they agree, you can definitely take it to the higher ups if it is false.

Well you know what they say if its to good to be true it probably isnt so it may be a scam but if you wanted go ahead and buy it but i would rather buy it at gamestop
