Why not a wii, hes even selling it with a router as wel, for the buy it now price of £130 yes its not, bear in mind if the console has benen banned then you have got a lemon but that al depends if you would go on line with it, if not then you wont have a problem

If its only for a 5 year old then Asda are apparently selling the Arcade version for £99 or the elite for £135 at least you would get a 12 month warranty also.

Buy it now for £130, or spend £1 less at ASDA and get a brand new console with full warranty AND 3 games that ARE suitable for your kid.....

Given the known unreliability of the 360 (graphics heatsink failure), I'd say get a brand new one unless you are comfortable with doing your own repairs (especially as only one of the seven games being offered with it is suitable for your kid).

re the games yes that was my thought exactly but thought dont saying anything,

i second killerwatts advice, if you buy 1 first hand then you are covered for 12 months if it goes wrong plus a couple of extra years for rrod

Buying at asda is minus the wireless dongle, the hard drive and a pad. 15 quid for the pad, say 20 for the hard drive, 20 for the wireless dongle. Makes it look like a better deal when you look at it that way.

The hard drive's only any use for DLC really, so if you're not planning on getting xbox live (doubt I would for a 5 year old) you can just use a USB thumb drive for save games etc. Wireless dongle, again, is no use if you're not going on live. Extra pad I'd say was a necessity.

If you fancy the games that come with it then I guess it's worth it. I'd probably grab one from Cash Generator or something. 70 quid with a 6 month warranty. A fiver for a USB drive to save games on. Leaves ~65 quid for you to buy a pad and games you actually want.
