    X-box

    I'm outside the US. Where would be the best place to purchase an X-box?

    My lil brother's birthday is later this month and he's wanted one for a while.

    My father and I were discussing whether it would be better to buy it from the US or from here.. If buying it from the US, we were wondering if it would be better to buy it online.. or to get it purchased on the mainland and shipped. 'Better' costwise at least.

    What do you guys think?

    Thanks

    I'm not gaming-system-savvy... lol.. Admittedly i wouldn't know the difference between the two.

    Any advice on which would be better..and/or more available?

    Thanks

    (EDIT: i looked back at this and this read like a noobie source request in the steroid forum lol... pwned)

    The 360's are newer and seem to be hard to get making them even more expensive. Try Ebay for a regular Xbox, the 360's are very expensive.

    I got a 360 the graphics are next generation compared to the normal x box, they cost 400 for the good one and 300 for the not so good one, go with the 400 one. You can purchase it on ebay I think the craze is over, but there was shortages convienently to cause that.

    the main idea around the 360 is using with a high definition tv, something to consider

    i would probably just buy online if i were you

    You can get a box from DaCoata-Mannings for about 500 bds, 150 bds to mod, add a hard drive and you can get the games for about 25 bds. The 360 1st gen is not the best and we can't really enjoy live anyway.

    Edit: Key was selling 2 the other day wonder if he still has em.
