At this point you probably don’t have a need for an Xbox 360, but you might.
And maybe you want to buy one for a gift, I don’t know. I don’t know anything anymore.
But what I do know: this is a really good deal. Hopefully it’s useful to someone out there.
The deal: an Xbox 360, complete with 500GB HDD with Call of Duty: Ghosts and Call of Duty: Black Ops II.
This deal used to be available with $14.95 delivery, but it now appears to be in-store only, which is a shame. That being said, it shouldn’t be too hard to find an EB Games if you’re desperate to take advantage of this.

No surprise there. At one point, there were two in my area and opposite sides of the street. This was because there were two separate market chains (or malls as they call them in the states).
Aggressive placement aside, again selling a 360 doesn’t surprise me.
Of late there has been a very healthy market for older games (even for the prior generation) mostly because the current generation is riddled with more misses than hits in the new games department and they are also suffering from a good chunk of their libraries being ports and/or remasters of games from their prior generations.
It would not surprise me if 1983 happened again purely because we have a glut of hardware but the game part of the game industry is being forgotten.
“Of late there has been a very healthy market for older games” — I’ve been on the casual hunt for an original Xbox for a couple of months now, and they are surprisingly hard to find.
There’s one second hand store that seems to get them, at the rate of about 1 a month, and it sells pretty much straight away. I’m not in a massive rush to get one, I just want to hook it up in the bedroom and play some old games I never got around to finishing, but its interesting to see how tough it is to find a $40 console.
Sorry, I should have made my post complete and mention that.
While there is a healthy market, supply is another matter.
Heh, as I’m finding. Try finding old PS1 games these days, they’ve migrated to that mystery box nothing ever leaves.
I like retro. I dont retro often, but when I want to its nice to have the option. And less nice when you HAD the option, only to find out that family members had thrown out your working C64 AND working N64. With the 50 games I had. Thrown. Out.
One of them works with enough technology they should know the implicit value, the other as a parent would definitely know the implicit value. And they threw them out. I shed a tear.
The Xb just has a busted disc tray, but I CBF figuring out whats busted. Not when I can get a replacement for $40, I just need to figure out how to transfer my saves.
BURN THEM IN HELL!!!!!!
If you can find one, the memory module is the easiest method. Or just have the old and new one (once you find one) modded and used homebrew software to transfer the saves.
Man…. I have no words for your family.
I probably woouldnt talk to them for years
I have an original xbox tucked away in my wardrobe, it works perfectly as I played conflict desert storm II on it a couple of months ago. Unfortunately i don’t have many games for it (little brother scratched them up), but I’m pretty sure Scarface still works.
If you’re interested I could sell it to you, I don’t use it very often, only when friends are over for drinks and retro game nights.
Also I have roughly 4 controllers for it, I’m pretty sure they all work.
Perfect, my 360 died last year just as I wanted to finish MGS 3 and bought a copy of Backbreaker.
Xbox and PS3 games still look great, even on bigger TVs. Friend of mine just finished Farcry 4 on her PS4 and has decided to go play Farcry 3 on PS3 as a follow up and it absolutely still stands up. The Forza games all look incredible. It really was a great generation of gaming.
