    Most of the time different game companies have them made to promote their games, and are given away in contest, same goes for those made for movies. Others are sold for charity and others are just retail LEs.

    They announce contest or sweepstakes on the websites of the companies giving them away. Sometimes they are mentioned on Xbox Live. The only way you can "try" to win them is simply by entering the contest. Collectors usually buy them from people who win them because the winners would rather have money if they don't really need an Xbox 360.

    most get there stuff from preorders or for the very rare stuff ebay .

    don't worry about buying second hand even if your console breaks down
    you can sell it on faulty on ebay there lots of people buy to fix .
    but i bet you can get a console cheaper than $100 for a old console .
