Title: $15 Xbox Post by: CatchFiveBats on August 15, 2005, 10:13:06 AM Well...today I am getting an Xbox for $15. The only thing that's wrong with it is the eject button is busted, but that's not really a problem. Because the eject button is always pressed down, if you turn the power on, the disc tray opens, so all you have to do is put in a game and push it closed and you're ready to play. The only other problem is the fact that it doesn't have an RF adapter or composite cables...but that's no big deal. So I'm basically getting a fully functional Xbox for $15. Wahoo!

Title: Re: $15 Xbox Post by: CatchFiveBats on August 15, 2005, 01:17:31 PM Indeed! Actually, I just got ahold of it and the guy ended up getting me AV cables, so I'm good to go. Now I just need to buy Morrowind and Metal Slug 3...
Title: Re: $15 Xbox Post by: CatchFiveBats on August 15, 2005, 05:54:49 PM Well...I just got Morrowind and Metal Slug 3 for it...and I put in Metal Slug 3 and played it for a while...and the Xbox reset and the disc tray popped out...so I'm going to have to get it fixed. Where would I get that done?

I have a instruction manual for how to make some Xbox fixes i will go thru it tonight/tomorrow to see if it has anything that might be of help.

Title: Re: $15 Xbox Post by: CatchFiveBats on August 18, 2005, 01:19:54 PM Well...it turns out the Xbox I bought was totally screwed...so I bought another one from a different friend for $80 with 2 controllers, and it's in perfect working order. Still not a bad deal, IMO.
Title: Re: $15 Xbox Post by: Arrrhalomynn on August 19, 2005, 04:44:38 AM So you paid 15 bucks for a totally screwed xbox and still think it's not a bad deal?

I think he means the 80 dollar one was a good deal. Title: Re: $15 Xbox Post by: captain_nintendo on August 19, 2005, 07:53:30 AM At least you can keep the 15 dollar Xbox around for parts ;)
Well worth it IMO.
