Guess Im not the xbox doc after all. After cleaning my xbox the other day I was able to get 3 days more of gaming before the whole damn thing bit the biscut. I lasted about two hours before I relized I best be getting a new one.

This actualy came at good timing, if it had happend at 4am Nov9th I would be pissed only getting a few hours of halo2 under the ol belt and no place to get a new one for several hours haha.

I called around first before going out to pick a new xbox up, called 6 people to get prices and see what came with my hard earned money.

-EB GAMES
-Walmart
-Cosco
-Radio Shack
-Future Shop
-Sears

I really thought that EB would be getting my money but there Xbox with no games was $199 (cdn) and Walmart actualy has a Xmas deal on right now for $198.32 and comes with top spin, Amped2 and Splinter cell with 2 months of free Live. Cosco who I thought would be cheepest came to $300 with three games...didnt bother to ask what games. EB had the same deal as Walmart minus the SplinterCell and two months of Live for $220.

Radio Shack didnt know what an xbox was. Sears and FS was over priced.

What Ive learned,
Call around, could save yourself up to $100 and could find a packege with games you dont have which is a cool bonus.
Dont clean the xbox laser with water and viniger.
Dust bunnies are evil.
Bong resin builds up everywhere.
And I cant go a whole day without playin Halo.

My xbox has that new car smell...mmmm

Is that $149 in US funds? Because Im talkin Canadian dollers here. $149 sounds about right at 20%.

I had that happen to me last week.

Take the broken Xbox to EB, they'll give you $75 for it.

Trade in a game or two, and you only end up having to pay about $40 for a new one.
