Bad boy, Xbox, very bad, very bad boy

[Devil_forever]

What do you guys think I should I do, if I exchange for CeX vouchers i'll get £220 but that means i'd have to get a used PS3 from them but if I just go for money theyll only give me £160 which means i'd have to fork out about another 60ish which I really dont want to do..but the idea of spending about £200 on a used PS3 doesnt exactly turn me on either

Definitely take the cash. Buying consoles second hand is not the wisest of things to do. The £60 will be money well spent for a new console. I'd avoid second hand consoles, unless it was a gamecube or a PS2 because those two in my experience are pretty reliable.

If you do get the console from CEX and it encounters problems, you should find out from other people just how helpful their customer service is. They could sell on a patched up console someone else has traded in and quite easily blame any problems on you.

Right, I am going to backtrack slightly

I've been looking on ebay for replacement consoles as that seems the cheapest option to do and have found a pretty good deal which involves a brand new arcade with all leads, controller etc and bad company 2 which includeing postage comes to about £90

Now that does seem expensive for what it is but it is the Jasper version and also has HDMI which my current box does not have and comes with a £30 game, not only that buying this with all leads etc means I can sell on my old box with its leads and a controller as I currently have 2 as it is and I could also throw a few old games in there so could quite easily make atleast £60 from that...

I think im gonna do it...hoo rah

Edit: Just bought it, will put my old box up there tonight

The new on/off switch is slightly irritating, but besides that it's very nice. Out of interest, is anyone interested in buying a banned xbox, the one on the floor?

I hope you have a functioning smoke detector, Biscuit.

 

[Biscuit1871]

I'm thinking about storing some fire wood under the table next week.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

You need a much bigger tv.

 

[Biscuit1871]

You need a much bigger tv.

There's a 32" CRT to the right. Have a projector in the living for serious gaming anyway.

 

[Karel_Poborsky]

BiZcuit man how do you affordz all these Xbox'z ??

 

[Biscuit1871]

drug dealing and prostitution.

 

[Karel_Poborsky]

Yeh budddy... I want a slice of that pie, count me in!

 

[Biscuit1871]

Seriously though they've just built up.

 

[Devil_forever]

To be fair, posting 20,000 posts on an internet forum is sad. It's not something I worry much about, clearly.

Rich bastard.

 

[beardsleybob]

Thinking about doing so this week.



Not if I want to play MW2 online.

So you have to he able to play online in every room?

Privileged isn't a strong enough word

 

[Biscuit1871]

I'm not rich, Xbin.

We sit on Orange crates. It's how you spend your money.

 

[beardsleybob]

Prada crates

Will Biscuit's head explode when all 3 get the RROD simultaneously? It is close to a certainty to happen sooner or later. The RROD thing I mean and not his head exploding. Not matter how amusing that would be.

Seriously though, it must be enraging. It isn't like you could have predicted that it would happen

Just like buying a new Lada in the 1980's to replace the last one that fell apart inside 12 months.

What the heck Biscuit, how much did you spend altogether on those 4 xboxes?

Yeah. I'd like to know the answer to this too.

 

[WeasteDevil]

No wonder Microsoft claim to have sold so many of the things. They actually only exist in 10m households.

 

[Biscuit1871]

My guess would be £900, but that is over 4 years.

Brand loyalty.

 

[esmufc07]

So you've spent twice as much as most people did on a 60GB PS3 back in 2005/06?

And you thought you were getting value for money, he he he.

 

[Biscuit1871]

I've got 520GB worth of storage and the processing power of 4 xbox's. Sounds like value for money to me.

 

[Wibble]

4 Lada's produced pretty impressive horsepower between them. Sadly you could only drive one at a time. And they would all fail regularly.

 

[Burndogg]

what a rich little prick.

Good for you. Now you can play system link alone.

He loves to play with himself.

£900 on Xboxes? You are insane. Is that just the cost of the consoles alone or does it include games too? I'm assuming it's the former, in which case you are insane Biscuit. My PS3, 360 and Wii combined didn't cost me that much and I've sold on my Wii a little while ago, making just a small loss.

I hope that's your own money you've spent or have your parents bankrolled it all?

 

[Zen]

Buying 4 Xbox's over 4 years isn't exactly much even if you have a minimum wage job and live at home. I don't know why people are losing their mind over it.

Bit nuts mind, but it's hardly 'rich', now if he were to post a picture of 4 porsche's in his front yard then we can discuss rich.

Yeah, the former. I've probably spent a lot more on games/controllers/headsets/capture card.

A combination. I think my first xbox was a Christmas present, but the rest since i have paid for myself.

I have one PS3, it's over 3 years old.
