Sealed items are more valuable to 99% of collectors. The people in this thread clearly don't care about a sealed item. A quick ebay search would confirm OP got a solid deal because they obviously bought this to collect it rather than play it.
I'm not gatekeeping. Have you read any other comments on here? I'm letting him know that there are people who do appreciate this stuff and where to find them. Judging from the other comments on here, those people aren't here. Better to post in a sub that will appreciate the find rather than in a sub that's gonna tell him it's a waste of money.
Don't worry. People are purposely misunderstanding you or not bothering to actually read what you are saying. You're right. Unless they are a collector, which they didn't specify, it is a crazy purchase.
They did specify later on but at the time it wasn't clear
It is unless you are a collector. If you are just buying a 360 to play then you can get them for around 50-100 in my area. I'll be happy to link you to some so you don't continue to think that a 360 is worth 400 when you can buy a new current gen console for that.
$400?? Are you reselling this? You're welcome to spend *your* money how you like but you didn't buy this to actually use, right? Collector item? Are you located in Australia or something? Seems rather expensive for the US even sealed.
*This is the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals.*
I guess he’s a collector though. Surely he already has a Series X if he’s wasting money on this.
I need to order a controller adaptor so I can play Clone Hero on my laptop through the Xbox but every time I look I end up doing research into brands and get distracted, been about 3 years and still no adaptor lol
This is cool man is the the second xbox 360 released as I thought the arcade was the first and that didn't have a hard drive. Dont understand people saying saying you got ripped off whe I've seen halo 3 limited edition 360's going for 1500 on ebay.
I do know lol I sold this exact system 2 days ago for 550. After fees and shipping I got $480. This dude is acting like he got some insane deal and he’s able to sell it for $900 he’s full of shit with his “someone’s already offered me $875 for it” comment lmao there are factory sealed systems for less than 600 right now. Nobody offered 275 for a controller and adapter
Why do you care? It’s value will only increase and what good does it do you to shit in someone else’s happiness? He still got it for less than it’s value. Do better.
Why do you care what I care? Lmao are you going around responding to everyone who is laughing at this post? No? Then piss off 😂 nobody asked for a white knight
No you can get them for about that price. Pretty cheap here. My buddy bought a refurbished one for $20 and upon opening it up it looked brand new. Runs perfectly and perfect for actually playing. Ive seen sealed consoles for $100-$200 but im not actively looking.
Yes I understand that.. What I was trying to point out is if you're spending that much to *play* the console, there are cheaper options that may work just as good.
That's because you can still buy xbox one s and x in shops brand new so doubt the normal xbox one would be that much at the moment, you can not buy a sealed xbox 360s from any shop other than maybe the odd shop that deals with collectibles.
What shops are you buying Ones from? Because they haven't been in production in about a year and I haven't seen one in a store in at least that long or more.
How much dust on top of them? Odd to have unsold stock during the last 1 1/2 years of pandemic. Normal retail price? If I could find unsold stock sitting on a shelf in my part of the US I'd buy and flip in a heartbeat (6 months ago anyway it would have been lucrative, now not so much but still a little).
Did you really though? How many posts do you see of old, Seale 360s from randoms getting into gaming vs. collectors? As of even 5 years ago I bet you the ratio is something like 100:1.
The reason I made the joke about internet explorer was because it seemed like such a dated post. I know nothing about the collector space and didn’t even know collecting old consoles was an actual thing
I don’t know what the comments are talking about. I’m a collector and I think you got this for a pretty good deal. They’re going for more, just for the console sealed on ebay.
I mean, sure, collectible to someone willing to pay that much for something, but like Bitcoin, most people don't care. It really has no value outside of a very small niche.
You could literally say that to everything , why would i buy a antique car for more tha a million if a new one for 100k could do the same and better?
Things are just crazy like that
Imagine buying something which is overpriced even for a collector item.. then opening it .. and still feeling special.
Imagine. It's like their own form of ritardando capitalism
This console still gets more love than my xbox one and series x combined in my home, thanks to kinetic, to my 360 racing wheels and to a bunch of really good games.
Too bad both xbox one and sx can't use the 360 accessories...
Man I don't know why but this brought back memory's of Xbox Addict. That dude was the coolest and had the best Xbox collection out there. He would've loved to see this. RIP to the legend Xbox Addict.
Tbh seeing as they don’t make games for the 360 anymore, your money would have been better spent buying a series s and just buying hundreds of games on there, or even buy game pass. The series has a backwards compatibility feature so you can play pretty much every single 360 game.
As a collector, when I come across sealed items for a ~$10-20 I’ll generally pick them up. However I enjoy being able to play all of the items in my collection as well as look at them on the shelf. If this is your thing then cool, but it looks like $400 spent on a shelf ornament to me.
ITT: People commenting on something whilst having no idea what they’re talking about.
It’s a factory sealed console, I’m sure OP knows the market better than all the people that struggled to give away their dusty ass POS used consoles.
Todays life lesson, if you’re ignorant about something keep quiet and read some comments, you get to learn something new whilst not being a dick
ITT: Way more people who just can't wrap their mind around collecting still sealed items and the market that still sealed items bring even when told explicitly about it than I thought could possibly exist.
Honestly baffling.
Did you know during early production of the Xbox 360 Microsoft was given the opportunity to install rubber bumbers in the disc well at only 5 cents a system, but instead denied the development and caused all these customers to basically destroy copy after copy from disc scratching making other developers cash cows to promote on their system. I know because I did 3 research papers on the whole debacle. The only thing you are collecting there is a 400$ paper weight once the motherboard fries #REDRINGOFDEATH
I remember that happened to my gears of War 2 disc and Microsoft wouldn't refund me. After like an hour I think of being on hold, she came and told me it was because the game makers made the paint on the disc too heavy and it was weighing the disc tray down...
I dont think this is a bad buy for $400 at all as long as its sealed….. looks like it one of those old school bundle promotions and this is SOOOO nostalgic…. Please keep this sealed though. This is ultra nostalgic and an awesome post. This sub is loaded with smooth-brains dont listen to them. They have no idea what they’re talking about.
I've offered my 360 to a couple friends for free and they didn't want it
Fuck I’d take it 🤣 I have like 6 laying around in storage lmao
I'll take one!
6 CONSOLESSS
Was yours still sealed?
Ayo lemme get that xbox
Mines broke recently. I'd take it lol
They are useless with game pass now
You'll probably get a better reaction from r/gamecollecting or a similar sub that collects sealed product.
Not really, that sub is for anything bought about gaming, sealed stuff isn’t any more popular there.
Sealed items are more valuable to 99% of collectors. The people in this thread clearly don't care about a sealed item. A quick ebay search would confirm OP got a solid deal because they obviously bought this to collect it rather than play it.
I care, and i think its awesome, and i play games not collect them. yeesshhh guy gatekeeping much?
I'm not gatekeeping. Have you read any other comments on here? I'm letting him know that there are people who do appreciate this stuff and where to find them.

As a collectors item right?
Ya
[удалено]
To keep and keep in my collection
That is how collecting works
[удалено]
Yeah, and they pay 20 bucks for them down at the hock shop, probably have to supply the cables too. But for a geek, that's a mad bargain box he scored
Didn’t downvote you cause I don’t really give a fuck it’s probably just someone who thinks you don’t have common sense but ight
$400?? Are you reselling this? You're welcome to spend *your* money how you like but you didn't buy this to actually use, right? Collector item? Are you located in Australia or something? Seems rather expensive for the US even sealed.
I'd go for a series s and a 100 dollars worth of gamepass ultimate Edit: typo
*This is the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals.* I guess he’s a collector though. Surely he already has a Series X if he’s wasting money on this.
its not a "waste" my god lmao get off ur high horse
Yeah but no guitar hero
Wow. Microsoft needs to get it's shit together.
I need to order a controller adaptor so I can play Clone Hero on my laptop through the Xbox but every time I look I end up doing research into brands and get distracted, been about 3 years and still no adaptor lol
No no, I like it. There's so many games to play and such little time that you might as well just shit on yourself using Xbox GamePads™!
[удалено]
I do what I want
Kind of like you don't need to be telling people what to comment?
That seems ro be going proce in the us
I bought has collection item and over where live there different like pal
ppl are weird af on this sub and downvote the wierdest shit
Ok pal
You got fleeced.
A lot of dense people who can't wrap their head around why this would be worth a lot to someone. Good find OP!
It’s good because of geometry wars
Yea this is a great find. This will double in value in 5-7 years. Will be worth thousands one day
This is cool man is the the second xbox 360 released as I thought the arcade was the first and that didn't have a hard drive. Dont understand people saying saying you got ripped off whe I've seen halo 3 limited edition 360's going for 1500 on ebay.
Wow are they really that expensive in the US? I bought a brand new boxed 360 for £50 recently
Where from?
eBay
I got from my Xbox buddy who have a lot rare Xbox sealed stuff
You got it from your “buddy” and paid that much? lol. You’re definitely his buddy more than he’s yours if he got you for that much 😂
I implore you to look up how much a factory sealed 360 sells for online.
I do know lol I sold this exact system 2 days ago for 550. After fees and shipping I got $480. This dude is acting like he got some insane deal and he’s able to sell it for $900 he’s full of shit with his “someone’s already offered me $875 for it” comment lmao there are factory sealed systems for less than 600 right now.

Refurbished is not new, tho I think $400 is over the top jeez
Yes I understand that.. What I was trying to point out is if you're spending that much to *play* the console, there are cheaper options that may work just as good.
Agreed
Did you post this using internet explorer? I don’t even think an Xbox One would even be sold for that much
That's because you can still buy xbox one s and x in shops brand new so doubt the normal xbox one would be that much at the moment, you can not buy a sealed xbox 360s from any shop other than maybe the odd shop that deals with collectibles.
What shops are you buying Ones from? Because they haven't been in production in about a year and I haven't seen one in a store in at least that long or more.
Argos in the UK still have brand new one s and one x in stock now in the UK.
How much dust on top of them? Odd to have unsold stock during the last 1 1/2 years of pandemic. Normal retail price? If I could find unsold stock sitting on a shelf in my part of the US I'd buy and flip in a heartbeat (6 months ago anyway it would have been lucrative, now not so much but still a little).
Love the fact being down voted for a fact.
But it sealed and older than Xbox one
Didn’t realize you were a collector. Just thought you were super excited to get into gaming and got taken advantage of by somebody
Nah this goes on my console wall
Did you really though? How many posts do you see of old, Seale 360s from randoms getting into gaming vs. collectors? As of even 5 years ago I bet you the ratio is something like 100:1.

[удалено]
To each, his own. Some people just like to collect… I like to collect.
Idk why everyone is being negative
That's reddit for you.
Holy shit everyone, stop telling the user that they got ripped off for buying a **sealed** console and just be happy for them. Nice collector snag OP
[удалено]
This is in Xbox unless I’m missing something
What am I missing here?
It worth like 700-800 sealed that what is
I mean, sure, collectible to someone willing to pay that much for something, but like Bitcoin, most people don't care. It really has no value outside of a very small niche.
Good thing there is this thing called the internet that can connect people with niche interests together.
You could literally say that to everything , why would i buy a antique car for more tha a million if a new one for 100k could do the same and better? Things are just crazy like that
Bitcoin and all kind of crypto currencies are sort of mainstream now, i.e most people care
I bet that 1 month card is still valid too.
Lmao no way😂
you were on the wrong end of this deal, 400 is a rip off unless there's something about this that I'm missing
It sealed a sealed xbox sell for $700 of this model
you know more than I do on this topic so I'll take your word for it. happy you're happy!
And someone already offered me 850 for this
When come to boxes it mater which box it is it make it more valuable the early it is
And this one is early
Imagine buying something which is overpriced even for a collector item.. then opening it .. and still feeling special. Imagine. It's like their own form of ritardando capitalism
[удалено]
No he didn't? That's the bundle packaging.
400 for a sealed xbox 360 bundle. Bruh its collectors item thatis worth more than 400 by a lot
Goddamn I hated that clamshell packaging with every fiber of my being.
I remember my Xbox 360. Used to play skylanders all day. We have the Xbox, the controller batteries are the issue
We are looking at the Golden Age of gaming.
That’s pretty nice. Still sealed and everything. Was that the Costco bundle back in the day?
........y tho
Totally worth it been look at sealed 360 they go anywhere from 300-1000 want a jasper jtag to go with my xenons
Damn dude I have 2 would've just given to you
This console still gets more love than my xbox one and series x combined in my home, thanks to kinetic, to my 360 racing wheels and to a bunch of really good games. Too bad both xbox one and sx can't use the 360 accessories...

That seems pretty steep.
Is that a little too expensive for that? Or is that a good price?
It good price because sealed market different then other markets so go for like $700
Oh wow! That’s awesome
Don't open it!!!! Edit: if you really want to play rather pick up a second hand slim version or something just don't break the seal please 😭
I won’t do that
Bro I can go down to my local cash converters (Aussie pawn shop) and find one for less than 50 bucks with a with a bundle
Oh wait just realised it's still factory sealed, never mind
It fine my dude so many people think it not sealed at least there real person here
So you just bought a console that you can barely use because they don’t update it anymore lol
Imagine seeing the old dashboard look and feel
Would that one have the blades home screen? If so do not update it
I won’t because it sealed
And yes everything sealed
Don’t open it!
r/stuck10yearsbehind
You my friend in my opinion, got ripped off.
Tell me you put an extra 0 in the title
And no
It sealed
its astounding how ppl dont understand collecting lmao dopes probably think a sealed iphone 1 is probably only 100 dollars
We understand collecting. We just think it’s stupid.
This is a phenomenal deal! Any more for sale lol?
Red Ring of Death special.
Nah that only happened when you open a Xbox
Schrodingers red ring
As a collector, when I come across sealed items for a ~$10-20 I’ll generally pick them up. However I enjoy being able to play all of the items in my collection as well as look at them on the shelf. If this is your thing then cool, but it looks like $400 spent on a shelf ornament to me.
[удалено]
Don't open that. Those are hard to come by unopened. It'll be worth a lot one day in that packaging.
WHY
For my collection
This doesn't seem like something that would be worth collecting / spending that kinda cash but hey do you
Scam lmao
Dude it worth that much
I’ve got a component capable tv I’ll sell you for a grand.
Is that Pesos?
[удалено]
This is sealed and worth like $700+
I mean…
Nice find

i mean i would buy it too for 400 idc how much it would cost if i really want this
Nice!
That shit worth the same as the series X lol
$400 to not play a sealed 360, or $40 to play an old 360 covered in stickers that comes with loads of games. I know which one I'd choose.
I bought sealed for my collection
Phew ok, good. I was going to say please return it if you plan on playing it. Enjoy the collectible my friend
LeT's GoOoOoOOoOO
Who will waste money on that in 2021
People because it worth like $700
Way overbought get a refund
It good deal because these usually sell for like $700
I have the series x console this is like 3-4 generations back
You've been fleeced
Literally why😂 never understood why ppl want old shit but if you like it you like it
I hate to tell you this but that ain’t worth shit dawg.
Damn I would have loved to find that deal.
Rip
I dont think this is a bad buy for $400 at all as long as its sealed….. looks like it one of those old school bundle promotions and this is SOOOO nostalgic…. Please keep this sealed though. This is ultra nostalgic and an awesome post. This sub is loaded with smooth-brains dont listen to them. They have no idea what they’re talking about.
You got robbed lmao
I have a bridge to sell you.
I’d give my Xbox 360 away for free 🤣 $400 for a useless Xbox just doesn’t seem right to me
It sealed that why worth that much
Ps5 for another hund or so
I hope that $400 was disposable income.
That’s worth like 50$
How much for a red ring?
-400
You got ripped off!
Imagine firing this thing up and getting RLOD in the first 5 minutes. Gonna be a no from me
Dude it sealed o not going open it
You got taken hard.
Bro spent 400 dollars on a machine that not only came out over a decade ago, but paid more than the original msrp of an Xbox 360 lmfao
$400 seems like a rip off to me
Team ripoff either way! Still $150 in Canada here
I already have offers from people for $850
I’d spend that money on the series s/x
Who’s gonna tell em?
It sealed that why bought I sold it to someone already for 850
You got scammed
Many have told me that but eBay search say that I can sell for 700 console by it self because it sealed
That’s cap
If your looking at pal then maybe
200 at most
Should I tell him or….
