Default is this a fair trade?? (for me)(xbox for rims)

ok a guy wants to trade his xbox with 1 controller and it's modded so it has like 70 games and all of family guy on the box, and i would give him a set of 17's with near new tires(the rims are bsa's by the way) now the rims have been takin up space and i dont plan on rockin 17's(i outgrew that) but do you guys think im gettin a good deal, because i know xbox's go for around $150 now but the modded part is why im interested....what do you think?

see thats what im startin to think i mean just the tires alone could be the cost of the system (i already have a ps2 with a hard drive but ive been wanting an xbox for a while) thanks jago

which one would you use more? is it worth the hassle of shipping the rims if sold to someone else? if he has that many games and some movies, that means he probably swapped the hd and put in the necessary sw. have you done that before or willing to take the time?
just some things to think about good luck

Rims are easy to ship. So don't worry about that.

I have been modding x-box's for a while, so I can tell you that it is chea and easy. Just get a HD on sale wherever the big rebate is for the weekend. CompUSA has some good deals. and get the hardware from a reputable online seller, and you are golden. The games loaded on it are almost free. Just get a membership to blockbuster or gamefly and you can get that many in a couple of months, so like $20 in fees.

Did he really tell you that he had 70 games on there? that seems like a lot for an xbox. what size HD is it?

Also, the xbox will be worth at max 50 bucks in a couple of years, whereas the rims wiill still be worth $150
