So, my silly self is totally considering trading in to get the new Xbox. My original (white) pro just RROD'd, but I fixed it and it's working now. This is basically what I could get:
360 + 1 controller = $100
20gb Hard Drive = $30
120gb Hard Drive = $40
1 Wireless Controller (in addition to first one) = $25
64mb Memory Card = $10
= $205 toward the $299 console
PLUS a $50 GC I am expecting in the mail = $255.
So I would pay $45 plus Taxes. It would get a possible console at the end of its run off my hands, and I'd have a shiny new one. My first problem that I had with getting a new one was being able to switch between the living room and my room, but I thought "duh," it's a little tougher, but I can just use a flash drive. My elite would sit in my room with my wireless adapter (which I may paint black, though if I traded it, I'd get another $40 trade in credit), and no hard drive for a while. But, I could always get a cheap HD when I have extra money and replace it so it doesn't look so naked.
So who thinks I should do it?
(edit: Yes, I would be losing 2 controllers and only gaining 1, but I have 2 for my elite, and Brie has 2 for hers, so we would still technically have 5 in the house, and I can always get more when they go on the cheap @ Amazon)
Edit again - HA, if I do it by 6/27, if consoles are in stock, I get a $25 bonus for hardware.. and I added in a headset which you get a few bucks for.. this is looking to be $20ish plus tax.
