Gamestop has a great trade up offer for your 360 towards a 360 slim

http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-46617-Chicago-Console-Game-Examiner~y2010m6d16-Gamestop-offering-tradein-system-for-new-Xbox-360-slim

Gamestop sent out an internal email yesterday claiming to give 360 owners a special deal to get their hands on the new shiny, slim version.

Starting tomorrow (6/17), you can trade any system with one controller for $100 and Gamestop will treat all of your accessories for the system as separate credit.See below for a full list of how much GS is offering for your expensive 360 branded accessories.

• 20 GB HDD - $30
• 60 GB HDD - $35
• 120 GB HDD - $40
• 250 GB HDD - $50
• 64 MB Memory Card - $10
• 256 MB Memory Card - $14
• 512 MB Memory Card - $18
• Network Wireless Adapter - $40
• Network N Adapter - $50
• Wired Controller - $20
• Wireless Controller - $25

So pretty much if you have a wireless controller(or wired), a memory card, wireless adapter and a 20gig HDD or higher your looking at over 200 bucks trading up for a 360 slim thats probaly the best deal you'll get

what about getting the data off your hard drive and onto the new slim. if they want you trading it in towards it then you wont have them both at the same time.

But wouldn't it be more profitable to sell your xbox on ebay?

I guess you would have to copy all of it to your computer with a flashdrive, then when you get your slim you will probably have to copy it back.

So the 360 Slim you get for this--- is it a package? As in, does it come with all the stuff that is usually bundled when buying a new Xbox 360?

Anyone?

that deal is pretty bad the stuff i have would only amount to about 130 thats still alot you would have to pay out of pocket

$100 (that's £67 for me) for a 360 and controller is not a particularly worthwhile deal unless you're really struggling for cash. I guess we'll have a similar deal to this in the UK. I'm selling my 360 to my bro for £80 so my Slim would put me back about £120 (about the price of an Arcade).

Not really suprised though, as of this week the Arcade/Pro/Elite will no doubt plummet in trade in price.

Hmm so I would get $230, that's actually a pretty damn good deal

i dont know about trading anything in although i have 2 xboxes (living room and bedroom) and i can get rid of one of them and save me some money on the new slim one. its not a great deal by gamestop but it will save you a little money. if my local gamestop has them in stock tomorrow, im gonna get one anyways cause i want one, but im still deciding if i wanna trade one in. its nice to have a few spare consoles laying around just in case.

Does gamestop accept RRoD consoles? :D

Uh-oh

microsoft said their shouldnt be RROD but they say that alot

and the new xbox ring has no red lights so it would be the GROD

hmmm 1 question

So, since the 360 has the whole "liscense" thing when it comes to things like downloadable content then how in the hell will i get the games i bought on my current one onto the slim?

I'm not coughing up more cash for map packs, games, and dlc in general ALL OVER AGAIN.

that's the only thing that's keeping me away from taking this deal

$50 for my 250 gb HD....now thats stealing

I still waiting about news on RROD and E74. But if I would sell my Xbox360-with wireless controller =$100 plus two 120G HDD, 512 Memory Card, two wireless controllers that would be a fair deal.

The content that you purchased can be redownloaded according to your Gamertag. But, the issue when playing on a different console, is that you must remain online at all times. When you go offline, you won't be able to play the arcade games nor access any DLC that was purchased prior to playing on a new console. This issue can be remedied by contacting microsoft on their site and transferring your license to the new console. Takes a couple of days, but at least you wouldn't have to remain online.

Not a bad deal for me as i could get $205 off a new slim. Two issues arise for me though, the HDD is different then standard xboxs. So no more bringing the HDD with me to play at my brothers place or wherever until they get a slim. The second thing I noticed while looking at the specs on gamestop is that it doesnt come with HD cables, just standard definition. I could be wrong or misread something. But this would be something to look into.ChristopherRage

It has a HDMI port and if you have an HD tv, I'm sure you would have a spare HDMI cable sitting around.

That's a terribl trade up offer. im not blowng money to get the same system i already have. Plus i'm saving up for the 3ds.

could'nt you transfer all your data to a flashdrive and once you get a new 360 you redownload your stuff from the flashdrive to the xbox?bigpapi342007
