Where is the cheapest place to get a new one, and is elite worth it, or will premium make do ?

i want to go buy one this week, and been a bit out the loop of things :)
 
If you can get (and afford the Elite) then go for it! As the 120Gb drive itself is the same price as an ARCADE (thank MiD for ripping us all a new one!)
 
4cer, what do you want to do? DO you want to play online, buy XBLA games, install games?
 
As far as I understand, all cost from R2400 upwards.

The Pro should be good enough, unless you really want an extra 60GB.

Enjoy your Xbox.

:)
 
um .. well.

don't really want to play "legitimately" ... like on Xbox live :) rather play back-ups... so ya:) which is best and cheapest... and how do you "mod" an xbox..
 
Buy a Xbox 360 Pro 60GB - more than enough space plus the new ones have hdmi out and optical audio.

Please, if you want to game do it legally! :sick:
 
ok well legalities aside, are any places offering specials or anything.. i'll go for the pro i rate..

just most places are selling it for like R4000... but found a few for like R2800 but then they have no stock...

Because that's the new price. (after Jan 19th anyway)

That 2800 will be adjusted once stocks return to normal, I'm affraid.

www.cybergames.co.za sell chipped xboxes and 'backed up' games.

EDIT: HOW they do this without being busted I'll never know.
