French website logic-sunrise who is usually pretty clued up on these things indicates that Microsoft's new 199 Euro's Xbox 360 packs with 2 games and 2 wireless controllers are in fact OLD machines. After opening 10 of them, they found that the machines have been converted to new and all have non-falcon motherboards, old Hitachi 47 or Samsung MS25 drives and the repair center sticker on them. They suggest that you do not buy these packs and if you want a brand new machine, then fork out 199 Euro's for the arcade pack or 269 Euro's for the premium pack.
This is not flame bait but a public service announcement to those who are looking to buy a "new" system.

Talk about being cheap.

Should be laws against this kind of thing.

There are, here in the states anything of that caliber has to be sold as refurbished or factory reconditioned/renewed etc. as for over seas I am unsure, hopefully someone with some definitive info for the Euro market can post.

Arcades aren't the issue...it's the bundles, apparently.

Not to naysay but it would be nice to have a source for this. I checked out Logic-Sunrise but my 8th grade French really isn't helping. You would think something like this would get picked up pretty quickly by one of the larger gaming sites.
