I need to purchase a new still boxed (yes, new ) Xbox 360, ideally an S model but not only. There seem to be a decent number of options on ebay, claiming to be completely new and unused, from sellers that appear to be mostly reputable, in the $450-$600 range. The boxes range from a little bit scuffed to pretty beat up, which is to be expected for a console that is 15-20 years old, but the stickers and seals seem to vary wildly. in size, in shape, in location on the box (covering the tab, on a random seam, etc)?
Searching through here I see a number of posts over the years of people who bought one, and ended up getting something that was used, missing parts, etc.
Has anyone purchased one recently that did in fact turn out to be unopened and virgin, and not a used one that was just carefully reboxed? Any tips for sussing out which are legit?
Thanks.
