[quote name='Shmitty']i'm lost. people are giving this guy shit cause he wants to find a 360 cheap on a website called "cheap ass gamer." was there a change of policy here or...? i suppose i missed the memo where we're SUPPOSED to want to drop 400 on a system instead of trying to find a deal first.[/quote]
No, there never was a policy change from "There shall always be threadcrappers on every single Internet forum thread."
Besides, I only count two posts about spending retail money and spending enough "if you really want one."
The suggestions, on the other hand, are quite good. I'd go for the ~$340 from overstock for a new one, or check craiglist for a used one. Personally, I wouldn't buy a used xbox360 right now. Overpriced as used and risky to boot.
