    HALO A upgrade?

    I got an offer for a brand new HALO A for $90. I was about to order a HALO B w/ clear shells anyway ($120), would it be worth buying the A for $90 then sending it in for the upgrade? I plan on calling on tuesday, but i figured i could at least get a preliminary answer here, or you guys might know a trick or 2 on what to say.

    I'm currently awaiting the return of my Halo, after sending it in for the B upgrade (although I opted not to get new shells).
    There are three kinds of people in the world: Those who can count, and those who can't.

    With understanding comes understanding.

    If the saying is true that we are what we eat, aren't we all just cannibals?

      30 for the upgrade then 10 for new software(unless they do that all in one) and then whatever the rip drive is if you want it and 20 for new shells so math time

      110- for the upgrade
      120- brandnew halob

        Someone is having some math problems seems to me...

        Why would you pay the same for a used one when you had to ship in and have that done and if I am not mistaken you will still have to pay the shipping to you even on the new one?

        Anyway $90 + $30 is $120 and then PLUS any shipping costs...

        $120 Plus shipping for new one?

        So.... Well you think about it.

          If you wanted a different shell color, since the Halo A is probably black, it would be $90 + 50 + and then some shipping... It would be a good deal if you could talk them into HaloA for $75

            no the new software is included with the upgrade.

              ok, what about this....would it even be worth while upgrading to the B? what are the differences between the A and B? yes, i would prefer clear shells, but i'm not gonna be all that picky when i can save myself some cash.

                  hey i was in a rush! anyway what the point is its cheaper to get the b pretty much and you get to choose your own color and im sure if you dug around you could probably get it for less than 120

                        yeah i think he was refering to my inability to add 9 and 3 and to attach a 0 on the end result to produce 120

                            Even before deciphering all that "math," it's obvious you should go with the brand-new B.

                            - You can't get ripped off from a possible bad trader (like I did )

                            - You won't have the chance of seeing how a $90 blender performs atop your marker by using an A model (another mistake I made)

                            - Although not essential, you get a choice of cool colors. And of course you'll get the new software, and the choice of RipDrive... ALL AT ONCE!! No hassle, no excessive shipping fees... buying a B with whatever you want, NEW, will definitely be cheaper and easier... seems like a fairly simple choice to me!!

                              Or you can buy a completely broken Halo A from some dork at the field for 5 dollars...thats right 5 dollars. Essentially I paid 60 bucks and have a brand new Halo B.
