Hi,

I'm new here, but I get the idea that Xbox Slim is not sold in Nigeria, is this true?

If it is so, then I might be able to help get them in from South Africa.

And how much are u looking at?, for a 250gb or 320gb hdd?

I'm interested to supply the 250GB Slim models to Nigeria if there is a demand for them.

If there is a demand I would work out a deal with a local supplier in South Africa and only then will I have a price.

I'm kinda interested. Can u please help me find out how much the 250gb model would cost so that I'l just work out a budget plan. Thanks!

Ok the Xbox is going for R2799.
Customs handling fee R30.
The safer shipping option costs +- R480 but also has no insurance options. Nigeria is classified as "C" zone. (Whatever that means)

You might have to pay tax or custom duty fees, not sure how it will be handled by customs.

I'm not aware of any additional costs other than the ones I listed above.

Roughly R3309 or ₦72831.10

I'll check with private courier companies too.

did i just see 72 grand?

word of advice, pls dont waste your time, or money. nobody is gonna buy a console for that price (u havent even factored in duty and profit)

i thot this thing was sold for around $400 in the US now?

I sell them for around 2699 - 2799 ZAR, but I did not anticipate such high shipping costs to Nigeria.

Bought mine brand new at Computer Village for N45, 000.
If you're interested in making a business out of this opportunity that you have, I suggest importing accessories, repair kits and used (but fairly new) games.
That's where the need is.
Have a good one.

@tiwola, pls does the Xbox 360 slim also have this "red ring of death issues" and do u by chance kno anyone that can help fix it up? and how can i possibly get an adapter for Xbox 360 elite? Do u have one? Pls help me out brow

I've used it for a while now and no, it doesn't have the RROD issues.
Repair kits for the RROD are available in computer village and Alaba. But they're mostly substandard and usually incomplete.
When I repaired my old 360, I had to ask a cousin to help me buy the complete repair kit in the US.
It wasn't a permanent fix at the end of the day, so I just bought the 360 Slim.


And that's my advice. Get the 360 Slim. Even if you fix the old one, sell it off cos it'll just work for maybe 2-3 months before packing up.

Cheers mate.

As for the adapter, you can get one in computer village for 5k or thereabouts or right here on nairaland.
Just post a topic. Must be someone who wants to sell his.

tiwola N45000 is a lot less than cost price in RSA
Also $400 US = N60733.75

My selling price of R2799 converts to $371.76
You bought yours for N45000 or $282.93 US?
Are you really talking about an XBOX360 Slim 250gb or cardboard box with an "x" on it


I'd rather buy them from Nigeria and sell them in RSA

I'm talking about a brand new 250GB xbox 360 Slim + 1 controller + headset + Free Alan Wake download coupon + Forza Motorsport 3 Bundle.

Brand new.

And while we're talking console prices, I think it'd shock you to find out that you could get a PS3 (80GB-120GB anyway) for around 54-55,000 Naira.
Don't ask me where they get their stuff. Heck if I know.

But then again, why would I want to?

I have 2 guides. Can't upload them here. too large. Send me your email so I can fwd you the guides:

They outline how you'll disassemble the console and how to go about fixing it.

You'll need some screws and washers; the heat-sink paste and the right tools to dismantle the machine. Those screws & tools aren't available on the street (as far as I know).

Just saw your post brow! Thanks alot! My email is ebeleguys@yahoo.com. I'l be expecting. Tanx a million.

pls where exactly did u buy it in computer village coz av walked tire abeg check ur receipt for address nd also i saw anoda post of urs saying u bought xbox360s at 55k nd now 45k pls which 1 is d exact price ?
@ tiwola

Don't actually know their street names. But here are some directions:
Enter Computer village through the obafemi awolowo way entrance (same road that
runs past agidingbi junction, allen junction etc).
Enter through this computer village entrance and walk all the way down.
At the end of that junction you'll find a block of shops (with a low fence in front).
Enter and turn to your right, you'll see a long row of shops.
Videogames, Ipods, Ipads, headphones and accessories sold here.

Xbox 360 average price (50k) - Bought mine 45k (NTSC - All my games are NTSC and the compatible Pal ones)
PS3 maximum price I've seen (65k).

If you're looking for brand new games though, not too many people sell them in Computer Village, so you'll end up
having to wait, buy direct from abroad, chip your console and buy pirated from Alaba (won't advise that though - Once you start, you'll never stop).

Have fun.

thanx man i will go tru dat direction. Do they modchip and download games into xbox360s hdd @ dat ikeja shop ?

Not sure about them. They say they can but I won't stick my neck out on their behalf.
My advice, stick with original.
My new 360 is at least 6 months old now and it still runs as quietly as the day I
bought it. (And I'm bad at maintaining stuff, you should see the dust on it as we speak).
Another reason are the updates. Once you chip, you won't be able to update your console.
That means a year after you chip your console, you won't be able to play new releases on your 360.

Check the list of updates and the their benefits on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360_system_software

Stay original my friend and therefore keep unwanted untrained hands out of your system.

i need 2 xbox 360 to buy if you have it let me no and how much you want to sell it used one and new.

is it possible to download games nd play it directly from hdd with no dvd nor chip and no banning ?

Yes. What you need is Xbox Live Gold subscription anda pc/laptop with windows home premium.
You can then download games to your PC and transfer to your xbox. (You WILL have to pay for the Xbox live gold subscription though)
It's not on the same level with hacking/mod chipping though which is basically free/less expensive compared to what I described before.

got my xbox360s dis morning, thanx 2 tiwola

Another Satisfied Customer. Hence my claims are verified.

If you need games, you'll find them in the adjoining shops. All original. All under 5k unless its FIFA or Pro Evo.
Wish you loads of gaming fun.
