any of last years x-boxes being clearanced anywhere?

[ncrainbow]

I have preschool/kindergarten age kids who are just entering the world of video games. They have played on a neighbor's x-box and seemed to enjoy it....although they still haven't quite figured out the controllers. We don't need all the bells and whistles and will probably only play a few of the child oriented games. I was hoping that there might be stores selling off older x-box models to make new for the new 360. Any suggestions?

You could try ebgames or game stop for a used one. I think they have warranties. I'm not sure on pricing though.

If they're rather young yet, you may want to look into the Nintendo GameCube. You can get it for about $99.99 at most retailers, or you can get some bundle packages for maybe $129 or $149. There are a lot more child-oriented games for that console as well, and with the games being a few years old, you can get them at good prices.

I'd go with a GameCube for that age. X-Box is great, but there aren't too many games for the kids, especially the really young ones. Where as GameCube has a ton and the system is cheaper.

I got the Gamecube box for a decent price(used) at the GameStop shop for my Boys...its a good starter

Eb games has the best deal. Gamecube is definitley the better option for younger kids and EB has a used Gamecube for $69.00. I've never had a problem w/their used systems and for a couple dollars more you can get a warranty.

I would check eBay. You may even get an adult owned system with very light use. Look for key works like "like new" condition. Then you may save some money and get a few games with it.
