Do not buy a used one or a refurb. Period.
Ok thanks for that.


From what I have read some people feel the refurbs are actually a better bet since they have been through the process, get a new fan or whatever and have less of a chance of failing than when they were new. You still get a one year warranty, so it's not like you get nothing.

For what it's worth I have one of the 360's with the "new" chip that are supposedly less susceptible to failure. But I barely every use it.
