Best Place for Second-Hand 360?

[Ben Hughes]

I'm moving away from home for 10 months as of a fortnight, and have decided to get my hands on an Xbox 360 in time for the Black Ops release.

As I'm not rolling in cash, I'd like to get one for as cheap as possible, so has anyone got any suggestions as to where you can pick up second-hand consoles, aside from the obvious eBay and AVForums?

Ta!

Hearing the horror stories about the lack of reliability with these machines I'd fork out for a brand new one with warranty.

game 12 month warranty

Gamestation do a 12 month warranty on second-hand systems no matter how old.

I've bought a PS2 and DS on this basis and they've been fine.

Definitely get one from a place that offers a warranty though, the number of colleagues I have with often a number of dead Xboxes is incredible...

Get a mate to hand you down one of their old basic versions? Just a thought.
It worked for my brother

They are notoriously unreliable, so get a warranty.

I picked up a pre-owned 20GB 'Pro' from GAME for £65.99 delivered a few months ago. Came with a wireless controller, power/ component cables and an "ethernet" wire. All genuine. Covered by a 12-month warranty if anything goes wrong. Bargain

Think they cost a bit more these days but still have a decent selection - http://www.game.co.uk/Consoles/Xbox-360/_/N-1z13fv...

Currently they are offering an Elite, with the new medal of honour game, for £130 IIRC (game and gamestation have a similar offer on at the moment)
