Unboxing: 250GB Xbox 360

I’m finally back in the gaming world. After going a 1-2 years without an Xbox, I decided it was finally time to purchase the system again. I couldn’t start to explain how much I missed playing Call of Duty, Halo, Forza and many others.

In the beginning of my hunt, I was looking on Craigslist and eBay for used (older) systems for a cheap budget. After finding a few for around $50-$90, I thought to myself. Why spend the money on an older, used Xbox and risk getting the Red Ring of Death (RRoD) or not working? After all, my previous Xbox ended life with the RRoD and I certainly didn’t want that again.

After doing my research, I discovered that Microsoft “fixed” the RRoD in the newer generation Xbox 360. Well, back on the hunt to find a used one on Craigslist and eBay. I found a few for around $120 but they all were the 4GB. I knew from the start I wanted Forza 4. That game alone uses about 3GB, without all the extra track/car packs. I knew the 4GB counsel was out of the question.

I finally gave up and went to my local GameStop to purchase a new 250GB Xbox 360. When I looked up, I saw a refurbished model for $50 cheaper than purchasing new. GameStop guaranteed the system to play, look and feel new. They told me that it’s basically like a new system, hence only being $50 cheaper. I decided to take their word and go for it. I’m all about saving money.

To my surprise, I came home and made this unboxing video for you all to enjoy. Once I plugged everything in and played for over 7 hours straight, I came to the conclusion that GameStop wasn’t lying. I’m very pleased with my purchase and their customer service. GameStop gets a “+1″ in my book!

I hope you all enjoy the unboxing video. If you did, don’t forget to share it with your friends and family. A subscribe or like always helps :P
