Speculation. They may be $150 but I really don't see the BF price being 200 again, especially with the PS3 MSRP $30 lower than it was last year. They're going to try to sell as many of the old consoles as they can in the next 2 years because they're profitable and people won't be able to buy new games on them for much longer.
The S (slim) and E (new model) both have it built in. The S does have two slightly different variants with a glossy model and a matte model for the 250GB. The matte systems are slightly newer and feel like they're built with a lot better quality plastic but should be functionally the same.
This, they basically all have Wifi now as long as you don't buy an older console.
Thanks for the quick response. Isnt the E the one without the Hard Drive built in? If so, I guess I am looking specifically for an S.
The S has a removable HDD. I just looked up the E and it seems to as well. As for the paywall, EVERYTHING is behind the paywall with MS.
ed up consoles though. Even though you have the return policy in place, you never really know how irresponsible the previous owner was with the system or if it was even banned :/ If you guys don't know where to look for them, I'd recommend looking up videos on YouTube so you know where to properly locate the Sony and Microsoft warranty seals. Even though they are supposed to check for it, some employees are lazy and don't bother to look for them.
Thanks a lot for that post. The only Es I had seen seemed to be the 4GB version which was why I thought it was by default without a hard drive. That pic made me realize I can not put it (at least an E) in his room. He has an older tube TV with no HDMI input. Ill try and find a pic of an S to see if it had one still.
The S has an HDMI port as well as a "regular" xbox 360 port. I believe it comes with a composite cable so if you want HD you're going to need to buy a component video cable.
E is just the most recent super slim version:

So does this mean only the really old models are $100, the newer models are not on sale except the 4GB version for $120?
• ANY PS3 SYSTEM JUST $149.99 INCLUDING A FREE $20 GAME
• XB360 ORIGINAL MODEL $99.99 INCLUDING A FREE $20 GAME
• XB360 4GB SLIM MODEL $119.99 INCLUDING A FREE $20 GAME
• PUR EXCLUSIVE 10/10 ONLY - 30% OFF XB360 AND PS3 PRE-OWNED ACCESSORIES
• PRE-OWNED KINDLE FIRE 8GB FOR $89.99
• iPOD NANO GEN 5 FOR $39.99
Edit: I was told that the original model is just the core system itself, no hard drive included. Maybe that's how they've always sold them? too lazy to check lol.
It is, they treat them as separate items now.
This, I picked up a 250 gig last BF with two games for my little bro's Christmas present for only 200. I'm more than certain this year will be lower. The PS3 deal may also be trumped on BF. As much as I'd love a special edition console, I'm holding off.
Yeah, I will not be buying now since I can reason with the wife with these changes. I was on the fence even at $75 for a newer used one. Only debate now will be if I go ahead and get a Kinect now with the discount or expect that to be in a good deal bundle later. Probably just wait on it all. Appreciate the help guys.
I was tempted by that new X360 till I found out they removed some of the things the S model had.E is just the most recent super slim version:
I doubt they'll be offering these as part of the deal and it will only be 250GB S models but that's just a guess.
Make sure you don't get 1 of the first run Kinects.
You have to check the model numbers. I'm gonna look them up.
my advice to you is renew your membership today, cuz i know cagers like me are gonna try and get the new ps3 super slims with the 500 gb hdd.
EBay doesn't have a 30-day return policy or the ability to buy a 1-year replacement plan.
actually pre owned products returns for money back is only 7 days, exchange is 30 days. but get this, gamestop holiday return policy is in effect since october 1st so i think you have till mid january to return. so if your system goes to shit in 2 months, you can exchange or return i believe.
It does have to be in condition that they can sell it again so if you buy a system and it dies on you then you're probably going to get rejected.
No. Still 7 days if it doesn't work.
It sounds more like you'll have to be lucky enough to find one, convince the employee to remove the hard drive, switch it out with a 4gb model, and sell you it as that instead. Otherwise, it doesn't look like special edition consoles will be a go with this.
Well it shouldn't have the Kinect or game, that stuff gets taken in separate. Should have the HDD unless someone swapped it out and the controller probably depends on what was traded with it.
,....yeah. Damn it. I read back a few pages and noticed that after my last post asking about the Star Wars console. That really sucks. I really am just interested in a 320gb hdd and a kinect sensor. I could use a controller, but I doubt a refurb one will be in any better shape than my controllers.
Man... this is really stupid of me, considering my current employment situation, but I just talked to the dude at my local Gamestop and they have a white 500gb super slim. Although he mentioned some concern about the BD drive in the super slims. Anyone hear about this?
I know it would be a long shot, but keep your ears open when at GS IF a customer brings a sensor in for trade... they only give $7...
I might buy a 30% off Kinect sensor though. I think it should be about $29.99+tax with the 30% discount and PUR discount.
But watch on black friday it will end up being like $30 brand new everywhere. That's my luck. But I have no interest in getting the stupid bundles with Kinect Adventures, Gunstringer, or Fruit Ninja Kinect because I already have all of those games. I just need the damn sensor (and the power cable since I'll be using my old console). I just have to remember to check the model number isn't 1414 like someone mentioned earlier.
I haven't had any but if you're prone to dropping things on your console you could have issues since it's more exposed on the top and the door is the most likely part to get damaged.
I was at a GS when a customer was trading in like $600 worth of stuff including a sensor. I didn't have the balls to ask, but I definitely will in the future. I'd give the person at least $20 cash if the kinect sensor looked like it was in good shape.
