Unbelievable! Why am I not able to buy Xbox 360 Slim online?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

One of my friends is interested in getting an Xbox 360 Slim 4 Gb console, and where ever I look online, on flipkart or other websites, it is mostly out of stock.

 

Why is that ? Any particular reason behind it ?

 

Are our only options to check out local stores in malls, etc. ?

 

Please let me know.

 

Regards,

 

KG :)

My friend is not interested in Kinect bundle. We are only looking for the 4 Gb version, aka the lowest he can spend on his gaming needs, and he wants to buy a brand new console. Not interested in second hand.

 

Anyways, even you'll agree that Kinect is crap :P

 

Edit: Is there any particular reason behind the unavailability ?

Guess they are clearing stocks and sales are at all time low, I suggest look for a second hand many might be on sale and you might land yourself a bargain.

You can always get a HDD separately when u need it and a simple swap-job wud do it. Works out cheaper that way and you cud get ur choice of HDD brand.

 

The OP's option to buy the 4GB version alone is better IMO as he's saying his frend only wants to spend the absolute minimum.

Well, we struck GOLD :D

 

We checked out a lot of shops in a mall here and all of them had the 4 Gb Kinect version, which was available for 26k. At all the shops, we were asking for just the 4Gb version, and almost all of them said they don't have it.

 

We visited one of the shops where the guy said "Since he has invested a lot of money in these consoles, he is ready to remove the kinect from the Kinect bundle and sell us everything else for 16k" :D

 

We agreed, he opened up a sealed Kinect 4Gb bundle, removed only the Kinect sensor and the free Kinect game disc inside, and gave us the console :D

 

At 16k, it was a steal deal :D

Absolutely no point buying 360 without HDD if you are into hardcore gaming

 

Halo4,GTA5,BF4 & TitanFall don't work without HDD

& watch_dogs will most likely have same compultion

 

lol OP probably has ton of aftermarket HDD cases. I remember buying 250GB one for my 360 from him, for 1/3rd of what MS charges, still going great.

Good to know someone remembers me :D And am glad to know the HDD is going great :)

 

Yes, I have a few of them and almost all my friends have the same (I gave them those :D) It just doesn't make sense spending on an official MS HDD when you can easily flash a retail WD Laptop HDD and use it just like the original. On top of that, it's 100% Live Safe coz MS can't even tell the difference :P
