Will it have the S next to the model number? Where do you look for the S designation?

No marking that states "S". They look like this: http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Xbox_360

It's the top picture. The bottom picture are the old bad models.

ONly buy used if it's the "S" model. Not the old style fat models.

You can buy them used at gamestop for 129.00 with all the cables and 1 wireless controller, but you'll need to get a harddrive, the price will be different depending on what you want. I would be wary of buying a system off like craigslist or something but Amazon might be ok because they have buyer protection stuff.

Is it a really bad idea? If not a bad idea, what would I look for?

I am console impaired, so help me out.
