Anyone got a broken Xbox360 core system ?
If it's broken and of no use that you still own, and is a core system or otherwise that DID NOT come with a hard drive, would you be kind enough to let me know ?

the core systems arent any different to the premium mate, the chips etc inside are all the same, except they named the premiums that because it came with extras to plug in, its all just the same.

yep, I know they're all the same components inside. The fact I'm after a console that DIDN'T come with a hard drive is the most important part.

Not free....
Active Live members with no storage, or a 64MB memory unit, are offered a free 512MB memory unit or a 20GB HDD for GBP 12.99. Active Live members with a 256 or 512MB memory unit are offered just the HDD, again for GBP 12.99. If your console hasn't connected to Xbox Live within the last 12 months, and doesn't have a hard disk, however, you're offered a 20GB HDD and three months on Xbox Live for GBP 19.99.

unfortunately not - the new Xbox360 comes a 256Mb memory card - enough for Microsoft NOT to offer you a discounted hard drive.
The reason being, 256Mb is enough to manage the recent dashboard update.
Also his Xbox360 is wrapped up under the Christmas tree!

Also you need to be able to get a code off the xbox itself which is in the dashboard so a broken one wont help you.
It's the console id which lets Microsoft know whether it has had a hdd plugged in any time in its life and if it has you wont get the hdd offer as I found out.

Oy! I've just bought my brother-in-law a brand new Xbox360 Arcade 
It wasn't until later I was thinking I only got him 3 games, hence the thought of a hard disk with free Xbox Live 30 days membership and a ton of free game demo's to download onto it!
(it's not a JASPER, I couldn't resist checking)
