XBOX + Halo 2 Limited Edition + Halo + Ninja Gaiden for $175, is that good or is he overcharging me?

Thats a really good deal, but chck and see if it works. Those are OOP and hard to come by, definately pick it up if its in working order.

If everything works, and is in excellent condition, then buy it.

Id snatch it up... I dont think you could get more for it at GS... but you could buy it for a lot more there.

Well, Halo 2 LE still retails for at lest $49.99 most places. Halo $19.99-$29.99. Ninja Gaiden $39.99-$49.99.

The deal is ok but make sure the Xbox isn't modded if you are going to take it online with Xbox Live or else you'll be banned.

I feel like you thinking of the halo limited edition xbox that is OOP? (which is not what the OP would be getting). I might be a little too creative here though hehe.

Modding can cost good money too, so if it is modded (and you don't care about Live), you could be getting a sweet deal on the system alone for that price.

you should still try to bargain and not take his first offer. a great deal would be around $150 +/- $10. if its modded then take it for that price anyways. just dont go live. try xbc or kkai for online gaming.

I read the post wrong, I thought he said "Halo LE Xbox" my bad, but its still a good deal.

It all depends on how well the XBOX works, the games can be found for around $60-$70, so it would basically be an XBOX for around $100 which is a good deal, if it works well.

I honestly don't think that's too great a deal. I wouldn't pay more than $100 for a used XBox (hell, I won't pay more than $100 for a NEW one) so given that you are getting 3 used games for $75. Not too cheapass if you ask me. Not a bad deal, but not great either. I seem to be outnumbered though...

IMO, its a good deal, as long as the Xbox works fine. New Xboxes are understocked at the moment, unless you know where they get daily shipments. Thats a great Xbox starter set, but if it was a lil cheaper, it would be a definate buy.

A guy you met? Is he driving a van? Did he tell you that your parents were in an accident and you have to go with him right now?

That shit sounds suspect.

I wouldn't pay $1.75 for that.

Ok we really dont need raging fanboys ....cough....denis,chickenhawk...cough...to use their obvious bias on if it is a good deal or not.

A deal is a deal even if it is a console you personally dont like.

It's a good deal if you can be sure the Xbox is in good condition. If you have any doubts about that, I'd stay away.

Personally I wouldn't go for this one, but I'm a true cheapass.

Used Xbox = $100 tops IMO and I wouldn't pay $75 for those games, but going by market/eBay value it's probably pretty solidly in your favor.

your title reads funny "A guy I meet wants to sell me his"...made me think of some shady sidewalk meeting with a watch dealer in a trenchcoat. heheh.

it's a decent deal though, as long as you are looking to get an xbox and want to play at least most of the games.

And a great deal it is.

Eh, its a decent deal if you plan on buying an X-Box eventually. I doubt you'll get a return policy from this guy. I'd personally pass, its still a great deal of money.
