Default Xbox 360 on Craigslist

I went on to Craigslist just now, and found a 360 go pro for $235.

Does this come with:

-Controllers?
-Games?
-Memory?
-HD Cable?

One other question: Is it worth it? Or am I getting ripped off?

You're getting ripped off. Unless he specifies that there's a hard drive - chances are, you're missing the $120 hard drive. That would account for the drop.

There should also be one wireless controller with the pro. No games, but HD cable should also be with it. I really wouldn't buy it.

EDIT: Just realized that the Xbox may have RRoD (Red Rings of Death) if it's used. People don't know what to do if it has the rings so just attempt to sell it for a low price.

It's really not worth it anyway. Just wait until your local Best Buy has some sort of special on the 360. Usually it comes with a game and other incentives.

It's actually not that rare to find an X-Box 360 for low prices online. They'd get less if they sold it in stores, so they settle.

I forgot to mention that this 360 is still in it's packaging. He posted pics on the page, and it still is in the pack. I have to go to his house to get it anyway, so I'll see if it's really packed.

BTW, I went to best buy and it says the harddrive comes with the pro. It has 60 MB.

60GB. I work at a major retail store and pretty much help to run the department, however being in Canada the price differences matter, so I won't bother to mention them.

I believe the 360 is getting a price drop as well. $100 bucks or so, not sure when this is going to be pt into effect but wait until then.
Then buy GRiD, Pre-order Gears of War 2, Too human, The Force Unleashed, Rock Band 2, possibly Quantum of Solstice, Fable 2, Endwar and possibly CoD5:World at War.

Mhm, Njord is going to be gaming this fall.

If you have any doubts . . . you shouldn't buy it.
