Black Xbox 360 Slim

Re: Black Xbox 360 Slim

Question: I have an old 360, I think it's the 60GB. The warranty is expired but it's running fine. If it craps out on me and I elect to buy a new 4GB version, the one that sells for $199, can I attach my old hard drive to it? Also, does the 4GB have build in wi-fi?

No on the hard drive. You'll need a new one.
Yes on the wifi. Works great.

Re: Black Xbox 360 Slim

Anyone have any idea of how much trade value you can get for a working 360 with 10GB HDD. I think it's 10. It's several years old.

Also, anyone know if it's possible to get any money out of a broken 360? Would someone buy for parts?

Traded in my old white one with I believe was a 20GB harrdrive and got $110 at Gamestop.. $60 for the XBOX plus they have a special going through 8-11-11.. Essential, they give you $50 for your old XBOX if you're trading it in to get a Slim..

I missed that deal, but assume it will be back. I have a 360 Elite that RROD'd. I did one of the online fixes. It worked for a bit than puttered out. I can still turn it on, but it will freeze within a few minutes of playing a game. I assume Gamestop would not accept this, correct? Or is the deal for any 360 (in any condition), just as long as you put the credit towards a new system? Also, do you keep your old hard drive when trading in an old system or do they take it?

Thanks.

I have seen Gamestop test consoles being traded in. So I don't think they will take non-working units.

The trade in is for console, cables and one controller. $50 total w/wired controller, $60 w/wireless. You can trade in the hard drive in separate, but they don't give much.

FYI - the old hard drives can be taken out of the casing and be used with the black slim.

Got it. It works, but doesn't really "work". It would pass a "turn it on and fire up green test", it just wouldn't be able to play a game. Even though Gamestop is a ripoff, I won't stoop to their levels and try to slip one through the cracks. I guess I will eventually buy a new 360 and use the transfer cable to pull data off the dying 360 to the new slim.

Best Buy has the 250gb 360 for $300 with a $75 gift card. Is that a good deal? So essentially $225.

You won't find a better deal than that. You're paying $25 more for 250 GB as opposed to the 4 GB, which sells for $199. Can't beat that.

Picked up the new xbox today. Now I just have to find a way to transfer my game files to the new one. I left my thumb drive at work.

If you can't get it repaired from MS for free look on Craigslist.

Sent from here to there.

Re: Black Xbox 360 Slim

I'm interested in getting the 4gb, but am not sure about it because I've heard that with games like NBA 2K, you don't get all of the replay packages in the game because of memory issues. I was curious if you attached a couple of flashdrives to give you more memory, would that allow you to see the replays? If that doesn't work, would I be stuck with having to buy an HDD from Microsoft?

Re: Black Xbox 360 Slim

I picked up one of these 4GB at Walmart with the goof up of the kinect packaged price of $249. I am selling the Kinect online (PMs if you are interested in a Kinect with the Kinect game) so I may be looking at a brand new Xbox 360 4GB for around $100.

I think you need the HDD but you can buy one on eBay from hong kong or wherever for $65. Only downside is that most of these HDDs don't work for old XBox games. Speaking from experience while my copy of NFL2K5 collects dust :-(

Re: Black Xbox 360 Slim

Can you use an ethernet cable with the slim? Or is it just wireless?
