The new, smaller, sexier Xbox 360 is in stores now, and if you know where to go it can be yours for as little as $90. As a member of the Kotaku team not present at Microsoft’s 2010 E3 press conference, I do not get the new Xbox 360 for free, so as soon as I got home I contacted my local GameStop to see if they had them in stock. They do, and even better, they’ve got trade-in specials going for the original Xbox 360 that make upgrading a lot less painful.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); https://kotaku.com/new-xbox-360-shipping-today-costs-299-5563154 I feel it bears mentioning that my local GameStop manager didn’t know about the new model until a customer called him asking for it, ten minutes after the Microsoft presser ended. For a company the regularly leaks information like a sieve, that’s rather impressive. But we aren’t here to be impressed by secrets. We’re h25 com สล็อต​ here to be impressed by savings. Right now the Xbox 360 base unit is trading in for $100 store credit. That’s without hard drive and with one controller. GameStop trades in the hard drives separately as they have to send them off to be cleaned. The smallest size, 20GB, trades in for $30, with the 60GB, 120GB, and 250GB netting you $35, $40, and $50 respectively. Then there’s the network adapter. The new system has built-in Wi-Fi, so your wireless adapter is now obsolete. The white version trades in for $40, while the newer black version will score you $50 credit. And let’s not forget the Edge card, which gives you an extra 10 percent store credit for accessories. So, if you’ve got a 250GB Xbox 360 with the black wireless adapter, your trade-in credit works out like this: System: $100 Network Card: $50 ($55 with Edge card) Hard Drive: $50 ($55 with Edge card) ———————————————————————— Total: $200 ($210 with Edge) With the new Xbox 360 selling for $299, that leaves only $90 to $100 unaccounted for. Other items you can trade-in include wireless controllers at $25 apiece, and wired controllers for $20. So yes, trading up to the new 360 isn’t as painful as it could be, and GameStop told me that if they sell out, they’ll let you reserve from the next batch, with the trade-in special still applying. Of course you have your saved data to worry about, but that just means you’ll have to play your favorite games all over again, and who doesn’t love doing that? Update: Someone named Fred informed us that GameStop will give you the trade-in price for your hard drive up to seven days after your purchase, meaning you h25 com เข้าสู่ระบบ​ can transfer your data and bring the drive back later and still receive u31 game เข้าสู่ระบบ the credit.
