Ps4 or Xbox one mostly Looking at Craigslist a lot of people are only charging $120 or so for a console with one or more controllers,many with several games. Is that a scam or is that fair? Those quotes sound low even though there consoles have been out for three years. ---

Try taking one to a gamestop, you’ll be lucky to walk out with 50 bucks of store credit. Those craiglist prices seem fair enough to me, just make sure the console works. ---

There’s a new Xbox One (or there will be, I’m not 100% on the timing) so even prices on new “old” X1’s are cratering and you can find 1TB unit bundles with games, $50 gift cards, etc included for $250-$275ish. I wouldn’t be surprised if people are turning over their old units to upgrade and/or finding that they have to sell their used units cheaper to compete with new unit pricing. Edit: Slim model coming out this year, [big upgrade model](http://www.polygon.com/2016/5/25/11774294/xbox-one-slim-one-two-scorpio) in 2017 ---

August 2nd for the slim xbox one. Will have HDR and 4K blu-ray support, but is otherwise unchanged from the regular model (except smaller). ---
