Looking for a new XBox, low end, don't need any bells and whistles. Where have you seen good deals on one? Thanks!

Try newegg and Amazon for the new deals. The best time to buy new is when a new SKU comes out. The only problem there is I don't think you see another revision until they release a new console. So the deals may be in short supply until Black Friday.

An FYI to fellow Xbox owners - a judge ruled just yesterday that the sale of Xbox 360s should be banned in the U.S.

The Xbox 360 violates four Motorola patents, according to ITC Administrative Law Judge David Shaw, Wired reports. Shaw made his initial ruling against Microsoft in April, and now recommends a ban on sales and import of the game console.

But don’t expect the Xbox 360 to vanish from store shelves anytime soon. Shaw’s ruling still faces approval or modifications by the ITC’s board of commissioners–with a deadline of August 23–and even if they agree completely with Shaw, they must still get a sign off from the Obama administration within 60 days.

And before you say that it won't happen, the consoles are currently banned in Germany. Perhaps we'll see the Xbox 720/Durango a lot sooner than we thought.
