GAME to stop selling pre-owned Xbox 360s

4.7
GAME is to stop selling second-hand Xbox 360s, but will keep accepting trade-ins, the company has said to Eurogamer. A rep told the site that it was because people didn’t want to buy older models and instead opting for newer models.

An internal GameStation memo has suggested that its to do with the “high failure rate” of the hardware.

The models that will no longer be accepted include the original Core entry model, Arcade and 20Gb HDMI-less SKUs . .... .................

Recony wow, ive had my xbox for like 4 years, still working is fit fine shape, and then in like a week i was gonna sell it, but im afraid im only gonna get like 10 bucks for it
Wait until the new system update comes out in November and you xbox will not be compatible. Microsoft will give you a Brand new xbox 360 Slim 250G for free !
I honestly dont believe that, they might give you like 30% off, no way they will give you a free xbox, especially a 250 G, maybe one without an HDD, but has a memory stick sure, that's it...
