Yup. With my track record of selling on ebay Id end up probably only making £10 from selling the games ><

It works best if you have a CEX store near you! Failing that get the games listed in your local paper/ on their site and on Gumtree the day they release, all ways to sell without losing commission fee.

Think my nearest CEX store is Soton, which is maybe £20 in petrol and parking right there and then. And for the hassle and time involved in listing in papers or gumtree, having to post  etc Im happy just paying my money and being done with it all :)

You dont post if its on Gumtree or Local Papers, because uh your selling local :P so people tend to pop round and collect.

Still hassle though innit :P Plus nothing says "I have a shiny new xbox - come steal me" more than listing the bundled games for sale ><



I ended up chucking in "GTA:Liberty City Stories" after the auctions closed in the PSP I ended up listing on ebay as I just couldnt be assed listing it on its own.

Its arrived at 5:45, and already has a taste for human flesh (I got a cardboard cut on the packaging ><)

I think Slim is an overstatment tbh, but it is quiet :D, makes near the same amount of noise as the DVR/DVD player, as opposed to sounding like a hairdryer.

So do I tbh. The only reason I ended up getting one is the fact that the xbox in the household is actually my dads, is old and knackered, and has such a limited capacity that I cant get any more DLC without deleting stuff already, additionally the Wireless G adaptor for the old xbox doesnt work very well upstairs meaning I cant get on live. Ive been meaning to get an elite for ages so in the end when this came along I might as well take the plunge :)

Picked one up because Im still on a 20Gb premium. Running out of space, sounds like a jet fighter, no HDMI is a pain and all my other AV stuff is black (except the Wii, might need to swap that out too).

I find it slightly bizarre that the cable that comes with it is more basic (AV) than the cable that came with the original 20gb xbox (composite/AV). I guess by getting rid of the memory cards they need to get their accessory profit from somewhere ><

Dont worry they still have to charge heavily for Kinect, and dont forget the fact that the new hdds are completely different fit to the old ones :P. At least they gave you a free transfer cable didnt they? :P

Tbh i bought a 60GB on wednesday for £60, and im not sure if ill buy a new one, my plan was to wait for the Elites to drop in price and pick one of those up.

No transfer cable. It doesnt matter really if you have a decent sized USB memory stick. Sure it might be a couple of extra steps but I had everything from the 20gb hdd and memory card transferred onto the USB stick and onto the new xbox by the time Id done a bit of tidying and cooking :)

Im confused why they call it "Kinect ready", arent all the xboxs kinect ready, or will the oldest ones not run it?

Only the latest ones have a "Kinect Port" as far as i understand.

Im shocked you didnt get a Data Transfer Cable, im sure i read on the net you are supposed to get one http://www.mcvuk.com/news/39645/Xbox-360-S-includes-data-transfer-kit

The new one can power the Kinect directly, the older ones will need the Kinect plugged into the mains as well as the Xbox.
