buying a 360 locally from CL

[robphelan]

the guy is asking 400 for: core system, HDD, wireless controller, component and a/v cables, Nakiworld 360 bag

or

250 for: core/ wired controller/ RCA cables/ power supply

if i buy the 400 package with component cables to my 2405fpw, what's the best way to get sound out of my existing PC speakers?

i currently have a philips aurilium - but i believe, it only has a USB in and a 2.5mm line in - i really like having an external box to handle sound, b/c I switch from my main gaming PC to my vid server frequently and all it takes is a switch of the USB cable.

any recommendations on what to use to get all this equipment to route sound to my PC speakers?

also, is 400 reasonable for that package?

thanks,
robert

I'm not too sure what the best option is, but it seems to me like package #1 is a rip off. Your getting a used Xbox that has been upgraded to Premium levels for nearly full retail price. If you're going to spend $400 just buy a premium, is the risk/hassle of buying used worth the price of the carrying case he is throwing in? If you buy new you have a pretty good chance og getting a newer hardware revision with a quieter DVD drive.
