Modified Xbox 360 owners flock to Craigslist to get rid of their tainted wares |

Nobody likes to be caught with tainted goods, so it seems. After the wave of banned Xbox 360 units from XBL occurred, Craigslist wakes up to find itself flooded with modded Xbox units, all for sale.
The owners of these units apparently take much importance to their Xbox Live accounts, and so would rather lose the unit than not be able to get online. You can get one for as low as US$ 90, in fact. On the other hand, because of this influx of modded Xbox 360s on Craigslist, you might want to avoid the online store for now, if in case you're looking for a cheap, unmodded one. You never know, you might purchase a unit that is declared to be unmodified, but actually is. Just to be on the safe side, apply this principle to all second-hand stores.
If you have accidentally bought a modded console, sorry, but Microsoft has made it clear as plain as day that they will not be extending the warranty of the said units, regardless if it was not your fault.
In the midst of all this, looks like Microsoft will be having a merry Christmas, thanks to second-time owners (maybe third or fourth or more if they've been Red Ring'd before) out to get a brand new console for their second leash of Xbox life.

Where do I trade my PS3 (the one I've had for a couple of years and has NEVER given me a single issue)?!? I never much like free online play, blu-ray, wireless net connection and rechargable bluetooth controllers that much anyway!
MS thinks they're stopping piracy but all they are doing is alienating the last suckers left playing one of their dvd-playing, $120 a year to play online pile of crap.

Burning PS3 games would be a very expensive hobby. Some people would do it, but most would find the start up cost very prohibitive.
