The kids I am taking care of had an Xbox 360. The ex swears he packed it in their boxes, but it's no where to be found.

They found their games, but we need a console.

They don't really know what they had.

Advice is appreciated, I haven't bought a console since the Intellivision days.

Find a working system on craigslist for cheaper. I picked up my used PS3 for $190 and it came with 7 games and 2 controllers. Its pretty much the same story for the xbox. Yes, you are dealing with a bit more risk going used, but if you inspect the system prior to purchasing its pretty easy to tell whats been abused or taken care of.

what about ebay and/or a 4GB and upgrading the HDD in the 4GB one?

I know they will want a Xbox One sooner or later, but will still want their old games to play.

I just don't get the $90 premium for just the HDD going up to the 250GB model.

If I can get the Kinect deal then add an HDD that would be nice. Otherwise it's looking like about $400 out the door new (Kinect + 250GB Xbox)

I will surf CL tomorrow for this.
