Five Steps to Buy an Xbox Consoles

Xbox

The Xbox is the predecessor to the new Xbox 360 consoles and it was quite successful. It has a large game selection and brought some new features to gaming like a built in hard drive and online play. Now that Microsoft has moved onto the 360 it can be hard to find the original Xbox anymore.

1. Consoles Cost $90 or Less:
The original Xbox stopped selling in the USA for a price of $149.99, but you can find it quite a bit cheaper now. Many stores will sell used Xbox consoles for less than $90. Be sure to shop around because prices can vary a lot between stores.

2. Buy Used:
Microsoft stopped making the original Xbox in 2005 and most stores don’t carry new consoles anymore. You can still find new Xbox consoles if you really want one, but you will definitely pay a premium. Thankfully, Microsoft built the Xbox well, so used consoles are still in good shape. The original Xbox isn’t like the Xbox 360’s that have had technical problems and recalls.

3. Don’t Shop in Retail Stores:
You will most likely be wasting your time. All major retailers and most used video game stores have stopped selling Xbox consoles and games. Smaller, independent video game stores near you might still carry Xbox consoles though. Gamestop and EBGames only sell Xbox games now, no more consoles.

4. Shop Online:
The best place to find  Xbox consoles and games is in online stores or ebay. You can use comparison shopping engines or google to find quite a few Xbox’s available. And like everything else in the world, you can find Xbox systems on Ebay too. Be careful when shopping online to make sure you don’t over pay for shipping though, especially on Ebay. Lots of retailers advertise a low sales price for the console, but then charge a lot for shipping.

5. Watch What is Included:
The Xbox originally came with one controller, an AV Cords, and an AC Adapter.
BONUS Tip:
Xbox consoles are almost worthless without some games, so try to buy from a store that carries a wide selection of games too. There is no sense in spending more time finding the games somewhere else when you can buy them all in one location. Go buy an Xbox console and start enjoying some of the great games the system has to offer.
