Am I Getting a Good Deal? [MBP]

    So I can get a Mid 2010 (August) 13" 2.4 C2D, nVidia 320m, 4GB RAM, 320GB HDD for €700. Is this a good deal or am I being ripped off on the price?

    While I'm here, I'll be playing the odd game of GTA San Andreas through a VM, will an xbox 360 wired controller work? It does on my current windows machine.

    That is better than my MBP I bought in late 2010/2011 for 1080 with the student discount.

    That is a great deal.

    I'm just going to buy one new now so I'm covered with warranty and all that stuff.

    I'd like to ask another question though, is it worth an extra €100 for 100mhz in difference with the CPU and a 500GB HDD as opposed to a 320? I have a 1TB ext. HDD so the capacity doesn't bother me.

    Just a little edit - if I were to order a MBP on Apple's website, would I have it by Christmas? How long is shipping usually?

    No processor speed differences do not matter much, I would spend 50 out of that 100 bumping up the ram if anything.

    You should get it by christmas, I would have last year if not for the snow. Should, I am not sure though.
