Gently Used Xbox

How much should I sell my 'gently used' Nintendo Wii system for?

I want to buy an Xbox 360 for myself, as I have gotten tired of the Wii and want to play some more 'mature games.'

My system is gently used, I've had it for 2 and 1/2 years. I was thinking of selling it to a friend for $90, and selling my games at Rogers.

Is it worth $90? It's in perfect working condition by the way.
No gravity. You didn't read my question, I don't sell on EBay.

Hiya Riley,

Don't get rid of your Wii bud, you'll regret it! Just save a little longer to get the XBox. Then you'll have both :-)

Each console has it's signature, that is, special things that the other doesn't. I understand your dilemma, but if you have both, you'll have more options.

Best wishes to you and yours!

How to Use Your Xbox 360 Drive to Rip Games

You can use the following guide on how to use your Xbox 360 drive to rip games. You will need the following software to rip the games, wxripper and cloneCD. We presume that you will be having the following hardware, dual layer DVD drive for ripping, Xbox 360 original game.

You can use a regular DVD reader to rip the games. First remove the faceplate off your DVD drive. In order to get the drive face plat off you must use a pin or paper clip in the emergency eject hole. This will allow you to lift it off. Remove all the screws that hold the top plate. You must have the bottom well supported, as it will have no support once the screws are removed. You must remove the top of the DVD drive. Find the clips that are on the sides and press them to lift the top off the drive. This is a very simple step and you just need to be a little careful.

Your DVD drive should now be connected to the computer again and turn on the PC. Press the eject button to make the drive slide out. Load your DVD as you would normally do and once the DVD loader plate retracts, press the DVD a little gently to make it fit to the blue tack. Since the top is off, once the speed of the drive increases, it will throw off the DVD from the plate. The DVD will start reading the content. It is time to use our wxripper in our PC. Click on the magnifying glass to find the magic number. You will be able to find the list of numbers, jump, dummy and copy when you click the magnifying glass. In the third line you will find "Copy" which should be changed to "Dummy". Only by doing this you will be able to rip the games properly. Click the file menu and save your layout.

Open the layout file using notepad and you will find a list in the notepad file. Go to wxripper and open the layout. You must select the layout, which you now edited. This copy will be dummy. Stop the drive now by pressing the stop button. Wait until the disc stops completely before you remove it and replace your Xbox game.

You can now start the drive and press the green arrow button to rip the games. Select the location where you would like to save your ISO and a name for it. The ISO will start ripping the games by reaching various sectors and marking them off. Once the process is completed, you need to close wxripper and eject the disc. These steps on how to use your Xbox 360 drive to rip games may look complicated in the beginning but you will notice that it gets easier when you repeat it a couple of times and you can do this without much effort.
