Default Cheap Xboxes

Anyone know where I can get an Xbox (not a 360) cheap?

They seem to go for silly money on Egay.
I don't really want to pay much more than £40 (or an I being optomistic?)

I dunno, but if you do get one, give me a shout and I will send you a load of controllers etc that I have in a box in the loft (left over from when some scum burglarised my gaffe) for the cost of postage. Not sure what else I have got there but there is at least 1 proper controler and maybe the S as well.

Unless you are coming to a meet I am at soonish, then I can give them to you.

TBH I've not really looked at Gamestation, I've been looking at b0rked ones off egay with a view to fixing them up. I consider myself an electronics whizz cos I replaced a PSP screen. I only want to use it as a media centre so I'm not fussed about games or the HDD working.

Aye that's what I'd recommend, at least it's guaranteed functional!

Another vote for Gamestation here I seem to prefer them to GAME as they price things better and seem good people. Bought a couple of memory cards, controllers and games for the cube from there.
