Hi
I am thinking to buy an Xbox 360 Arcade when there is gonna be a price cut sometime in US soon. I want to mod/flash it to play backup games. OR should I buy an Xbox 360 used premium from craigslist. I know that Xbox 360 Arcades have BenQ drives and I am a noob to xbox 360 modding.
SO can anyone advice me what should I do as I am really confused? Wait...or buy a used one now?

ANy help would be appreciated

I wouldn't buy a used one personally. There is a reason why they are selling those, may have been banned from XBL, may be a POS refurb sent by Microsoft (which will soon get a RROD) It's not a sure thing on the US price cut, a Game Stop manager said it will be either a new model coming out or a price cut. I would get you a new one. Just make sure it's manufactured after 10-07, and its 175 W (not 203 W), and it's a good chance you'll get the Falcon units, which run so much cooler. The used ones on Craigslist may not be a Falcon, the older type instead, and you don't want those.
