Get a cracked Xbox 360.

[syed.jahanzaib]

On web I see many variants of xbox 360 / slim etc.

If I go for refurbished Xbox 360 option, what things I should check for ?

[sameerulhaq064]

No need to get a refurbished one. You can get a less used one in good condition for less than 20K. And try to get the S version as they were the latest and best ones in the lineup

1. What are the reliable market places to get it ?
2. What is the average general costing of games cd/dvd for xbox ?

i got xbox 360 in used this summer for my kids for 15k
made a package of 2 controllers(with rechargeable batteries) - cables and everything included -games copied in memory card as well
CD's are 100 - 150 or 200 rup each depending from where you buy them
since i bought from a shop with a good reference
i got remote fixed for free after few days
also got new chip installed for free - xbox was booting up after alot of wait

A used console in this price bracket would be very old and unreliable, so it's best to avoid them.

Luckily, you can build a very VERY decent gaming PC for 20k or less, if you go the pre-build way.

Since you're from Karachi, I'd suggest you to pick a Dell Precision T3500 workstation with a hexa-core Xeon CPU (X56** Series), 6GB of RAM (3 x 2GB Tri-channel) and 500GB disk drive for around ~10k. Then just buy an RX470 4GB with the remaining 11k.

This machine will be quite comparable to Playstation 4 Pro in terms of raw hardware muscle, take a look:

Plus, since it's a proper computer and not a console, your kids can also do their homework and other stuff on it whereas the console will be pretty much limited to gaming only.

Hope it helps.

I would suggest Xbox One S (500 GB) you will be able to get it within 25k.

I can give my ps4 in 22k with two games,just need money

It's worth checking out local second-hand shops or online forums for used consoles and games. Sometimes you can find great deals that way. Hope this helps, even if it's a bit late!
