im looking to purchase an xbox 360 elite, im looking for a newer one with the jasper chipset and a warranty but post up any elite you have for sale as i want one now and most likely wont get a newer one as if you just bought it you most likely dont want to get rid of it. my paypal is ready and all im realy looking for is:

120g console with all cords (power,av, and hdmi)

it must have hdmi output.

and at least one wireless controller

i do not need any games but they are a bonus. post up what you have and i am looking to buy soon.

I saw your thread and figured I'd give some advice:

Do yourself a favor, man. Just buy a brand new one. The console's fail or malfunction in one way or another no matter which model you buy. Even the newest ones on the market are prone to hardware failure. So, like I said, buy a new one. You'll definitely need the warranty.

I'm not trying to be an a$$hole either. I've owned more than 10 360's (each and every model), and I still don't have one that works. I have 22 games sitting here, and I can't play any of them...

I have an elite that I'm thinking about selling. Has a year and 5 months left on the RROD warranty through microsoft. Never had any issues with it. 2 wireless controllers, wireless headset, hdmi cable + ~15 or so games ... PM me if interested and I'll give you more details.

I've had the same 360 for about three years...and I bought it used.

It's one of the original models, the ones that didn't come with a hard drive or an hdmi port. The only difference is that mine is modded with an NME mod chip and I added a hard drive and component outs. Never once got the RROD.

So, basically, you're not assured the RROD if you get a used x-box.
