Want an Xbox 360 but don't care about playing online or taking part in any of the Xbox Live services? Then this is your lucky day.

Thanks to a recent decision by Microsoft to ban as many as a million players from Xbox Live for illegally modifying their consoles to run pirated games, there is now an absolute glut of "modded" Xboxes for sale on Craigslist.

And while a brand-new Xbox Arcade--the lowest-price version of the console--sells for $200 with no free games, it is now possible to spend as little as $100 for a used, modded, Xbox that comes with a slew of hit titles. You just have to be willing to give up using Xbox Live and be OK with your new game collection including mainly pirated titles.

For 100 bucks they'll also work as a nice DVD player/Network Media streamer. May have to look into that, thanks for the post Nvy.

Yep, I've gotten banned LOL. But, since I don't play online, it isn't a big deal for me. I have hear that there is a way to fix it. Update the firmware and do a shadow patch.
