If I were to buy a new Xbox...?

Question

The Xbox that I was using is all screwed up to the point that no games or DVD's are able to be played. I really dont want to go through sending it in and all of that c**p, so I was thinking of buying a new one.

I have all the stuff for an Xbox 360. I have two controllers, a headset, all the cords, gold membership to Xbox Live, all of that.

What would be the best way for me to get everything back to normal by buying a new console? The best price for what I need? All I really need is the console itself. I dont need any more controllers or wires, or anything. h**l, I dont even need a new HDD. Mine works fine. All I need is a console that works. How much would that cost me? And where should I get it?

Also, I want to make sure that everything will work. I need to make sure that my old HDD will work on a new one. It just snaps on normal, right? And my old Xbox Live will carry over onto a new Xbox, right? And the plug-ins are the same, probably?

Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

I'd buy a used memory unit and core system separately from eBay. I'd guesstimate the price range, (depending on 360 model, size of hard drive, etc,) I'd say about $150-$350, but that's a very approximate guess. I'd say you should be fine in a LIVE subscription switch. I was reading an FAQ on the xBox website, and most things are incredibly simple to do, or otherwise already done for you when you switch consoles. I can't imagine it'd be that hard to submit such a question as to how to go about the switch to a contact link on the xBox website. Good luck and enjoy your 360! (I'd strongly recommend an Elite.)

Answer 2

Yea everything will work the HDD all the cords controllers etc. and all you gotta do for your xbox live name is go to i believe it just says retrieve xbox live profile and put in your email and password and it gets it all back for you.
