Tell your mom you are upset.
Tell her to tell this woman (or tell her yourself) that you are not happy.
Tell her it was well over a 300$ console that you got with your own money.
Tell her you will take her to a small claims court if she doesn't supply the funds needed to repair, or replace the console.
If you do need to get a new xbox, make DAMN sure its the same type that was broken, it will get the message across that it wasn't cheap.
Make this woman pay for your Xbox, she damaged valuable property of yours with out recompense, friendship with your mom be damned.
If your mom won't do anything about it, do it yourself. Don't be a whiny brat about it, but make your case that it's an expensive piece of property that has been broken.
I'm serious about the court though. Get your money back at least. It ticks me off with -blam!-y helicopter moms who think their child is a little angel that couldn't possibly do anything wrong, win out in the end.
I'd seriously consider doing pretty much everything you've listed...but it'd probably crush my mom's relationship with the fat kid's mom. :(
But if it was just me, I'd def give it a go.
But then again, it's tempting...
Seriously dude, they broke your personal property and aren't willing to pay the damages. Destruction of property. That's against the law.
