Xbox 360 Pro 60GB for $230 during Woot Sellout

While it's no guarantee that a retail price drop is coming, seeing an Xbox 360 Pro selling for just $230 (plus $5 shipping) during a Woot Sellout certainly piles-on the evidence. The Woot model is your typical 60GB Pro (rumored to have reached end-of-life) with HDMI-out, wireless controller, headset, and component AV cable. However, instead of carrying a $300 price it costs about $70 less than your nearest brick-and-mortar will charge. The best deal you'll find until the rumored price cuts get official. So what's it going to be, slim, pull the trigger or wait?

I just came here to say: "Battlefield 1943 on XBox Live FTW"

Umm yeah... I picked up one of the 20GB pros when they were $139.00 That son of a bitch red ringed after 1 month. They didn't have any more replacements and issued a refund.

As if it goes without saying, do not buy this. An XBOX 360 w/o a warranty is worthless.

You do realize that all refurbished Xbox 360s (which is what that woot was) come with a 1-year warranty from Microsoft, right?

Besides, the console that was sold today was new and thus had the 3-year warranty for RROD and 1-year for everything else.

Mine was not under warranty. I checked with Microsoft (as did woot) which is why a refund was issued.

Don't assume so much.

Fair enough. Just seemed odd is all. :-/

You're fine. I'm still butthurt over the loss. I really got attached to that thing. It started red-ringing toward the end of Tales of Vesperia (about a month into playing). I'm convinced that the xBox 360 is the most entertaining console I've ever owned, which is why I was really hurt when Microsoft wouldn't honor the very warranty you linked me to. I'm sure woot was disappointed, too.

I'll also apologize because I didn't realize these woot units were new. I'm mad at myself for missing out on that.

I'm saving up for another one, though.
