The shop owner is ready to give one year warranty.
the joystick is unused and new.
the 22k 320gb he is ready to give a year warranty

Still looks a bit dicey. But if you're short on cash, you can risk it. But make sure it works properly and you test a few games on it.

I already have a PS3 120Gb (not on 3.55 anymore :-( ), and i am getting a 4month used x360 slim 4gb locally for 8k. Does it make any sense to go ahead and buy it? Suggestions?

Hells Yeah! That's an awesome deal. Get it RGH'd and you'll be set. You can play all the multi-platform titles with ease. So my vote is all for it.

It certainly does
That's a great price too. You'll probably be set with it for the next 1.5 - 2 years with it as well. As Ethan said, just get it RGH'ed.

Thanks for your suggestion bro. I have no idea regarding getting the x360 RGH'd. Can we do it ourselves or do we have to get it from outside? How much will i have to spend to get this done?

You can do it yourself only if you have expert knowledge, otherwise people charge around 4k for doing it. Your best bet would be to get it done from someone else.
It is not as easy as the KMEAW 3.55 hack for the PS3, bear that in mind.

4k!!! Thats quiete a money. It thinkbit is better to spend almost same and get my PS3 downgraded to 3.55.
Anyhow, confirmed with the guy for x360. Will be picking it up tomorrow. Will check at Palika about getting this RGH'd.
Thanks a lot both of you!

To claim warranty on X360? Do we need an invoice or just the serial number is fine?
Unlike the PS3, this is a permanent hack, which can't be blocked by Microsoft. Even if you downgrade your PS3 to 3.55, you'll be stuck with playing older titles. It's a one time investment for your X360. Believe me, booting games without DVD, XBLA games, DLC's Emulators, alternate dashboards etc. What more would you want?
It's validated via the serial number. You need to register the console on Microsoft's website using the provided serial number.

Not sure if the previous owner has registered the console or not.
By going RGH way, do i have to burn the downloaded games to a DVD or not? And what is this LT2.0 and LT3.0 thing?

All the games go on the hard disc, and directly boot, just like games on PS3 using kmeaw hack and games on internal/PC games.
LT 2 or 3 is an old hack which utilised discs.

Sure thing! Good luck
So, bought the xbox. Paid 8k. Got the controller, brick, display and power cord. Nothing else.
No game to play right now. Will borrow once i finish with max payne on the PS3. Will also try to get it RGH'd by the weekend.
Congrats on the console. Get it RGH'd and you won't regret the purchase.
