I've decided to go for a 360 rather than a Wii (for now) but I wont have the cash for another two months to buy a premium 360. However, I came across this add:
http://computers.uk.freeads.net/Boxed_X ... 121229.htm
It's a core system for £70. The catch is that it has an "unreadable disk error." I emailed the seller and got this response:
Hi there,
Just to answer your questions:
When you press the power button the circle is green. I have never had the circle of death (red light) its always green.
I am not sure of the exact postage i would estimate it at around £10-£15.
This is the Core console, boxed and comes with the controller, the power brick and the TV cable - all are perfectly working. I also have the receipt and all the manuals, booklets and warranty documents.
The XBOX 360 does not have an error code. It boots up as usual to the welcome screen but when you insert a disc it does not read it. I personaly think its an error with the DVD drive as it displays "Unreadable disc" everything else seems to work fine.
I have tried playing my games and one DVD and it didnt work with any of them.
I have attached a picture of the start up screen. The console connects to the internet from there but every time i put a game in it sais "unreadable disc" at the bottom bit where it sais "open tray" on the picture. I hope this makes sense.
The console has been well looked after and not been used much. You would have a bargain if you could fix it.
Many thanks
Do you guys know about this error? Could it be fixed if I just replace the DVD drive with a replacement HD-DVD Drive?
