How much on average could I get an Xbox 360 for and where would it be cheapest?

I'm getting 100 bucks next week and am trying to save up a little bit to finally get one.

Best bet would be a refurbished one. if you go that way, definitely buy a extended warranty for it. Just In case

New ones are $200 or more.

Ya, eventually... for starters I was intending on getting the Xbox Live Free Membership so I could just get some demos and stuff and buy more games, extra controllers, and full Xbox Live later. Working my way up lol.

get it done jntg!

Up to 134 bucks now, I get 100 from my grandparents next week, but then my youngest brother offered to chip in 8 bucks plus the 26 my parents owe him to equal 134.

Few questions though:
1) Will demos be enough to keep one occupied until more money is available, I realize games are like 60 bucks each I believe, so I won't be able to get much of those to start with. I saw that I could still get the demos for FIFA 12, PES 2012, NHL 12, FIFA Street, NCAA 13, Tiger Woods 13, and I believe I can get those with XBL Free membership, correct me if I'm wrong.

2) When I do get a better subscription for XBL, how much will it cost?

3) Where can I get more controllers cheap?

4) A refurbished from gamestop will be fine, right?

5) Game recommendations for later?

Dont buy new...360 is getting replaced by the 720 within 1.5 years

Refurbished should last you

Good because that was what I was intending on, much cheaper... and is Kinect worth it anyway?

I'd assume that length of playing time would not be an issue with a sports game though, because you could just play again and it is still entertaining, right?

So no good sports games need it, right?

None NEED it but they have options for it.....like tiger woods.

Also, imo you should wait to buy this until september so you can buy the new nhl and fifa

2) When I do get a better subscription for XBL, how much will it cost?

3) Where can I get more controllers cheap?

4) A refurbished from gamestop will be fine, right?

5) Game recommendations for later?

2)- $59.99 for 12 months, $24.99 for 3-Months, and $9.99 for 1-Month. (all cheaper on Amazon)

3)- check Amazon often, they usually have deals every now and then. NewEgg as well. Gamestop for Gamestop brand controllers.

4)- I'd avoid the old model 360. If you can get a refurbished slim, that's the way to go.

5)- 360's main exclusives Halo, Gears, Forza, Fable, then all the AAA multiplatform games like Assassins Creed series, GTAIV, Red Dead Redemption, BioShock series, Batman Arkham series, Dead Space series, Oblivion & Skyrim, Fallout 3 & New Vegas, Mass Effect series, Dragon Age: Origins (not Dragon Age 2). Also arcade games like Limbo, Torchlight, Braid, Guardian of Light. Those are cheap.
