Xbox

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know the best place to trade in an xbox 360 60gb console, for a 250gb slim console?

    you can take it to CEX and get some cash for it which you can use to buy a new one, or you can get store money when you trade it in which will get you more money but you can only use it on stuff that is in the store. (look on their website how much you would get)

    also other stores you can trade it in like HMV and maybe Game. dont know how much you would get from these though.

    Thanks for the quick response, but I have had a look a CEX and they seem too be offering very low money for it.

    if 60gb is enough for you and you just want teh new one sell the xbox privately and keep the hard drive and buy a 4gb slim and fit the hard drive into it..

    also selling privately always going to get you more money as cex etc buy to resell so there prices wont be as good..

    Thanks, but the 360 drives don't fit in the slim. :(

    they do when you take the hard drive out the plastic casing. then they slot in the back like a normal hard drive
