Getting a new 360

Reaper67 · Post by **Reaper67** » Mon Jul 13, 2009 10:00 pm

I want to know if there is any way, in the US, to get a new 360 for a low price. Would it make any difference if I traded my old one in? Or is the system already too old to be worth much at stores that do trades? The reason why I want a new one is because my current one has issues with DLC. I have done a lot of experimentation and I have found that it is the 360 not the harddrive.

Buy a used one, or buy one off E-bay, or Amazon.com.

I guess a new one of the lowest standard is $200 (Arcade version). Now, I guess if you want to try, you could buy a used one from a place like gamestop, if you want to risk it though.

And I believe that you can turn it in as long as it's of an equal value to the one you want to get, and it's the place you bought it. Be sure to have a receipt, they will certainly want to see it.

Hope it helps!

My receipt got washed. I could bring them a crumpled illegible piece of paper and call it my receipt, definitely would look the same. Thanks anyways though. I might try turning it in anyway, see what I get for it.

If it's from Wal-Mart, then don't worry, I believe they allow 1 to 3 trade ins without the receipt. Unless they changed this.

I got it from the Game stop right next to walmart. I don't know how lenient Game stop is, but I may be able to persuade them to give me a "just this once".

Hopefully, I've heard of some employees being very understanding and lenient. Hopefully it works.

Thank you for all of your support and encouragement. I had an idea of trading but I wanted to bounce the idea off of the net first. It worked.

It worked? Grats man! I'm glad you got no hassle.

LOLOLOL! I was talking about the fact that I got a good response. I haven't gotten the chance to try the idea we came up with. Thanks anyways though.

i watched a youtube video that said the xbox 360 in america is $399.99 and the ps3 is $599.99 (basically 400 and 600 dollars) so i would say yeah its probably more expensive compared to england.yes my mate who absaloutly loved his xbox 360 finally sold it, he was £30 off a ps3 so i lent him the money, niow hes happier than ever with his gaming

When the PS3 was first released, I think it was like $600-$650.

Surprisingly not... Did you know that Asda is part of the Walmart family?

Some of them are huge. They vary in size. Also they cant, and wont be stopped. Just dont stand in their way, walmart WILL sell you an item at a great price.

"Two flashlights for $4, i gotta get that. Oh man, a $5 movie bin! Are those cheez its on sale?"
