Japanese game shops, lately burdened by a huge surplus of unwanted Xbox 360s they cannot sell, are now offering to buy used Xboxes for a paltry ¥500. One shop explains their decision (http://www.sankakucomplex.com/goto/http://jin115.com/archives/51624052.html):
We’re buying Core 360s for ¥500… A lot of places won’t buy them at all, you see.”
“We’ll buy Arcades for ¥3000… Elites sell for more.
Most shops will also have nothing to do with older models (http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/08/25/ms-on-54-rrod-we-have-a-good-warranty-so-its-ok/).
Reportedly there are Xbox 360 owners actually willing to sell their units at this price.
It would appear Microsoft’s withdrawal from the Japanese market is not far off.
