Just ordered a Play & Charge Kit

. I'm STILL trying to get Forza 2, but I was paranoid about the Play & Charge Kit disappearing before either of the two games I'm still trying to order.
[quote name='mr.me']Yeah, I wouldn't have been surprised if it never came, but it did! Now I just need an xbox 360, I'm at 21,000 tickets.[/QUOTE]
[quote name='A Gamer']You are better off ordering Vista and selling it on eBay and then buying a newer console...
So far 3/3 consoles I have received in the past 2 month have been refurbs with manufacture dates in 2006... Not even covered by the RRoD warrantee any more.[/QUOTE]
[quote name='mr.me']I don't have an ebay account, so doesn't that mean I can't set a minimum price?(Heck, I don't even know how to sell things on ebay in the first place.) I would want to get an xbox 360 pro as the arcade doesn't come with a harddrive and after looking at what vista was going for on ebay I would be $50-$100 short. So, as much as I would love to have a brand new console with a fresh warrenty, I don't think it would work out for me.[/QUOTE]
Order Vista AND the Xbox 360 if it's not too much trouble. Create an Ebay account and sell Vista to get the money for an Xbox Arcade model (order an extra 360 controller or two on Club Bing and sell that to make up the difference with the Vista money you get--around $100-$150 for Vista and about $30 for each controller).
As far as learning how to sell on Ebay--This IS the internet, right? There are great resources online that explain how selling on Ebay works (including Ebay's own site--google it if you have trouble finding the links). Once you get the Xbox from Club Bing, use THAT system for "parts" (extra controller, HD cables, headset, ethernet cable, and most importantly...the hard drive--unless 20 GB is not enough space for your gaming).
You'll have the money for an Arcade and you can use the Club Bing Xbox as a secondary system or you can give it to a relative or friend (along with the memory card that comes with your Arcade).
Hope that helped.
