will a refurbished xbox last me longer?

i plan on getting a xbox.. but i want it to last me the most it can.. so will one that has already been broken and repaired last me longer then one that still hasn't been broken?.. or is it backwards?..

Be careful herebecauseit just kinda depends. The problem with the xbox and now 360 is that there is a HUGE difference in quality from one xbox to the next. They were made everywhere from China, to theUSA, Mexico, and they even had a plant in Turkey for a while (no joke) so the qualitydiffersgreatly even though they are the same system.While they never officially released the capacity of the massive memory, that varies from xbox to xbox too. If you just go buy a used xbox it could break the very next day. If you buy a refurbished xbox whatever was wrong or died in it has been replaced already. My xbox had the disc drive replaced a few years ago and I would take it over any used xbox just because I know the main mechanical part is new and will last longer than the one in just a regular used xbox. Because they are such faulty systems you may consider buying a new 360 and using the backwards compatibility, the 360 is even more unreliable, but they're getting cheaper and come with a warranty. If you're set on getting a xbox 1any way you slice it, it's a roll of the dice. Just get the cheapest of the two.

It probably wouldn't matter. The original Xbox's laser wears out pretty fast, so its just a matter of time before it dies no matter how it was made.

thanks everyone:).. i got a non refurbished one.. the only thing is that i have to open the disk tray manually.. opening it manually isn't going to damage it in the future is it?..

you have to pull the disc tray open? What? thats defective. take it back! I have an xbox that i bought NEW like 8 years ago and it still works fine.

i have to open it with a paper clip.. but I'd rather just keep it (makes everyones lives easier) if it doesn't damage it.. if it does then ima have to return it..
