| Re: Buying A Xbox 360 i would say so because its the elite, comes with 2 controllers and 120 bucks in games. so I'd say its worth it provided it's covered under some sort of warranty.

| Re: Buying A Xbox 360 hmm..I think refurbished 360s are going for about 180...so add an extra controller and 2 games and it's about 330. Up to you if you want to do it...but it looks like it's not a discount or anything. |

| Re: Buying A Xbox 360 I would probably avoid it. Refurb consoles only have 3 month warranties with no RRoD 3 Year Warranty protection. Unless you find a refurb console with a solid 2 year protection plan or something, I wouldn't get it. |

| Re: Buying A Xbox 360 I'm on my FIFTH xbox 360. The first 4 were all covered and replaced by m$ for the ring of death issues. The last one went out and I said screw it and bought a Xbox 360 elite. never had any issues with it and still works great (knock on wood).
so get a refurb? **** no, the ones they sent me were all refurbs but then again from what I understand those drives are no longer used so the ring of death issue is over.
Hard to say dude. I wouldn't do it personally given my personal experience. However the xbox is a great console and provide much entertainment...not just gaming

| Re: Buying A Xbox 360 if something goes wrong with it then it will happen sooner then later. when I went through those 4 xbox's they all bricked with in 1 to 3 weeks of owning them.

| That was a refurbished 360 and were those RRoDs and if so they were still covered under the microsoft fix? |

| Re: Buying A Xbox 360 Not sure what RRoDs means. But they were suppose to be refurbs as that is all m$ did was replace your broken with a refurb. Yes m$ covered every single one of them.
