Cheapest way to get a 360+more?
What would the cheapest way to get a 360+COD4?

Ok so I only have like $250 saved right now. I want to get a 360, COD4, and I would need ethier a wirless internet connector (I have wireless internet) or a realy long cord. My computor is 20 feet from the TV. (Unless theres a way to hook up a 360 to a computor). what would be the cheapest, yet most cost effective way of doing this?

Save up more money.

I seriously doubt you'll find a 360, COD4, AND a wireless adapter for 250 bucks.

Sell your PS2. I sold all my PS2 stuff yesterday and got $180. I sold my PS2, 2 memory cards, 2 controllers, madden 08 and like 4 other games.

And dont get wireless unless you have to. This is just my opionion, but if you use the ethernet cable you go faster then wireless. And for me it was cheaper. I just got a 50 ft cord for $25.

Or you could find a friend who sells it or craiglists (just watch out the seller).

AT OWN RISK

Buy a RROD(Red Ring of Death) infected 360, call up microsoft for the coffin to be sent to you, send it to microsoft, wait 3 weeks, check mail, plug in 360.

RROD 360's have gone for less then 100 in some cases

----

Also, like marv said, try craigslist
craigslist classifieds: jobs, housing, personals, for sale, services, community, events, forums

Cheapest way is to buy an XBOX360 Arcade System for 250.00 this system comes without a Hard-Drive although. Save a little more a you go get a used copy of COD4 f0r 10 bucks less. And depending where you live Uncle Sam will want his cut of the 360 purchase.
Of Course you'll also want a month to month or year long Gold Subrscription. Month to month would probably be cheaper for you.

Eventually down the road you'll need a Hard Drive, Plug and Play, Live Vison Camera.
probably the cheapest, out of the gate price would be for around $ 340.00 with what I mentioned in the first paragraph. Gaming can be an expensive hobby.

Risky... but a very cost effective solution to a lack of fundage.

You can try ebay and get the seller to guarentee that if MS will not send you a new console then you can return it plus shipping costs because ebay takes that **** seriousally
