Help - Buying Xbox 360 - what do I watch out for?

Recommended Posts

I've owned a 360 in the past but made a huge mistake of getting it modded and it ended up crapping on me. It's been ages since I've played on a console since my ps2 also died on me about the same time. I've recently been thinking about getting a 360, only this time I won't get it modded. But, I have a couple of questions

 

-There's been a price cut in Europe, any chances of that happening over here? Should I wait till April?

 

Hold on Price cut is inevitable and should happen in April since you have waited so long another month shouldnt hurt.

 

-I read somewhere that you get 4 games free with the premium console, is that offer still available?

The games offer is still on but games are mediocre games except Forza 2 in case you like simulation racing(i hated it) but if the price cut does happen use the cash to buy games of your choice and ya if price cut happens for console it is 100% happening for games too.

 

-What's the duration of the warranty? 1 year or 3 years?

You got the answer above

 

Thanks in advance.

Checked in with Planet M and a couple of shops and all of them said the offer was over even though the official website says it's valid till 31st march. This sucks.

Yes but hang on.. Most of the shops here in chennai are out of 360 pro's.. so a new stock is expected to arrive soon.. must be the same there too. There is every possibility that they may be falcons and the new falcons have forza 2 and ultimate alliance bundled with them.. cheers
