Holiday Xbox 360 Bundle (want help wanting)

[Night Fox]

okay, so there's this thing I really want

bam
okay so here's the thing
I only have about $275
so close, but yet so far
there's always that tiny chance I might be able to get my mom to loan me some money, should I try that
or perhaps some of you guys could help me out by telling me if you know of any place where it's about $250 or so? or maybe if you think it might go on some serious sale for Black Friday?
preferably on a website without tax or shipping, though tax is a much more prominent issue, I can deal with $10 or so shipping fees
I already own Reach, so that would make for a nice Christmas gift for someone, and I want Fable III myself
thank you preemptively

Oh forget I got a new XBox like 2 weeks ago, I should have loving waited.

[Night Fox]

would a 4GB Xbox and a 250GB HDD be more expensive than this, or cheaper?

okay
http://www.amazon.com/250G-Hard-Disk-Drive-Microsoft/dp/B004GX4864/ref=pd_sim_vg_3
so, the cheapest one I can find is about $70 (the website selling the cheapest one has good ratings too)
so it totaled with the 4GB Xbox would be $270
which as it turns out, is right in my budget
should I do this instead, even though it doesn't come with the games?
I'd rather not, but my main want here is the hard drive size

It's 100 bucks for the 250gb HDD.

It's 100 bucks for the 250gb HDD.

I meant one made for Xbox 360s

[SlayerZ99]

No, do NOT buy $70 HDD for Xbox from Amazon/Ebay
If they arent "official" Microsoft you will be banned if they find out...
I got mine for $90 because the box was damaged
buying a 250gb over a 4gb then a 250gb hard drive is better

[Night Fox]

well I doubt they will ban for it, but third party things just wont work with it now
that's straight up bullstuff

so there are other retailers selling it for $78
http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-250GB-HardDrive-Slim-Only/dp/B002I0JDC6/ref=pd_cp_pc_1
it's still Microsoft's product so it should work fine, it's just a different reseller

[Dnitro]

If you're desperate you could get a used xbox (old version) and a decent HD for ~$150

[Night Fox]

If you're desperate you could get a used xbox (old version)

I'm not that desperate

[Caution]

Fable III is boring as hell.

[Night Fox]

Fable III is boring as hell.

I could do without the games
it's just that the hard drive I want plus a decent not used Xbox would cost just as much as this

[Frontrox]

Get one without a HD, you shouldn't have enough games yet to flll it. Then, when you have the money buy a HD.

[GodlyFireFight]

Oi. You gonna trickshot? Or are you one of those haters. Either way add me when you get one

Is there another with a smaller drive? after all 120 or 140gb or whatever is way more than you will need and is just wasted money.
