EBAY ROX! (Xbox360)

Posted in Off Topic

Alright,
So I got tired of my PS2 Finally, And am SICK OF WAITING for a price drop on the PS3.

I broke down and looked into 360's.
After reading so much about the RROD, E74, E71 and such~But also how these are sometimes very fixable for a tinkerer like myself...
I looked to ebay for a cheap problematic xbox to play around with.

A company called "Sold Broken" was putting up a ton of very quick auctions for 360's with various listed problems starting at 0.99 cents and free shipping.
people were bidding like crazy, It was hard to keep track of em.
I managed to score one for 30.00 shipped, Claimed as: 360 core, System only, E71 Error.

Today it arrived...
In a 360 Arcade box, flawless condition, wireless cotroller, power brick all manuals.

I plugged it in and nothing happened on the ring of light, turned it off and on till an E79 came up on screen then turned it on off until it started flasing 3 red lights, lol.
But!
I was able to call customer service and even though it had been registered to someone else, I got in transfered to me and it qualifies for the 3 year warranty~I can send it for free, the fix it and send it back for free, pure awesome.

All this for $30.00...
Very unexpected, And enough to make a Playstation Fanboy turn to the darkside. maybe.
