Hi Guys

I was thinkin of buying an xbox back home (450 euro) but im on holidays in the US and was thinking of buying one here. I know the games i buy back home wont work on it but ive found a shop that is selling used games for 2 and 3 dollars and basically have everything i want.

my question? is it worth it? i make a saving of 100 euros on the console and buy all the games i need for very little, then any new game i want i could just buy it of ebay.

do you think its worthwhile?

What about buying games all the time from America? With the VAT implications its a pain in the arse (some games are region-free, unfortunately not all)

do you really wanna use ebay/play asia everytime you want a game???
