    Just wrap the 360 in lots of bubble wrap, secure it in a regular cardboard box (I used newspaper), and seal it.

    Bob's yer uncle. (No I'm not eighty...)

    I just put it in lots of bubble wrap and put it into a box from dabs who i had recently ordered it from.
    I kept the box from Microsoft though so if it breaks again...

    Re: a box for my 360

    yeah just pop into your local supermarket, take some bubble wrap off of the apples and ask nicely for a suitable box, mine is currently sitting at the bottom of the stairs all packed up and ready to go, assuming ups turn up!

    once you get your email from them it acturally says not to use the original xbox box as you dont get it back.
