The Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii seem to be the two big dogs in the video game arena today.  When I was a kid, I would start saving up money weeks or even months in advance if I knew there was a new video game release on the horizon.  Of course the games were titles like Defender and Pac Man, but that was the best there was, so my friends and I were thrilled to get our hands on them and we played them until we grew callouses on our fingers.  Now, gaming has gone to unbelievably more detailed and complex heights.  Heck, I even saw someone referred to as a professional gamer (I think it was on Survivor).  Considering how much better the games have become though, the prices now really aren't that bad in comparison to "back in the day.".  Still, they aren't anything to sneeze at for most people.

Second Hand

Some people think nothing of paying whatever the asking price is, but many buyers are on a tighter budget and want to look for better deals.  The eBay market is already flooding with these units.  My own experience of watching eBay near Christmas makes me think that the prices will top out soon and then drop as too many people go out and snatch them up just to list for resale at auction.  I don't have an Xbox 360 yet.  We have a Wii in my house, but I will be watching over the upcoming weeks for people listing at very low prices to get the attention of buyers.  At some point, I believe someone is going to end up getting a great bargain price.  I know that I'll be watching.  If you are willing to be a little bit patient, you might want to keep an eye on things too.  You might snag a nice deal for yourself.

What I'll be looking for ...

As more people list these, sellers will become tempted to drop their opening bid price to grab attention.  Many of these people will be inexperienced sellers who don't take into account the fact that the time an item ends can play a big part in the final selling price.  As a buyer, I'll be watching for items ending very late at night or in the middle of the day when many people are either sleeping or working and unable to check eBay to bid up the prices.

Also, right after Christmas, there will most likely be a flood of items for sale as people try to profit from duplicate gifts they received or panic as they ponder the prospect of being stuck with a lot of merchandise they bought before Christmas to resell.  I can't promise that this will happen, but when Elmo was big a while back, this is pretty much what happened.  Like I said, I'm not in a deperate hurry to get one of these, so I'm willing to watch and wait a bit.  If you live in an area where it is tough to find popular items or where they just sell out too fast to get your hands on, then by all means, take a look at what is available on eBay now.  That is one of the nice things about eBay...you can find just about anything at any time.  Below, you will find a few of the game systems selling right now.  You can also do a specific search by using the box on the right.  Whatever you decide to do, don't rush into a purchase without making sure that a return policy is included and always ask any questions you might have before laying any money down.  Good luck!
