[QUOTE="xsubtownerx"]How can a HDD be refurbished? shadow8585

Not everything microsoft makes goes straight to the shelves. EX. Coors makes good beer and bad, bottom of the barrel, not enough hops beer. That stuff they re-can and sell as keystone light. Microsoft has a lot of harddrives theyve made with errors taht arent fit to sell as well

So you're saying these refurbished HDDs are not any good?

It means they got returned, maybe for being broke, maybe because the 120gb drive came out a week after they bought it. Either way, they've been fixed and recertified as working. They're fine.

Alright, this is getting annoying. People say that the arcade will work and yet, some people are saying they entered it in and they werent eligible. I just want the live and 20gb deal, dont care for the free memory card or just a $20gb hard drive. Can somone claifry if it actually works or not ? I might buy the arcade tommorow but im worried it will not push through or this deal will magically dissapear before im able to take advantage of it. :cry:Caramel_Fantasy

I'll try it for you right now. I bought an arcade last week because I had an extra hard drive.

Like the post above confirmed. It will work with a arcade even if you have enough space for the NXE. Just ordered one for my brothers arcade which he bought maybe 3 weeks ago. He gets a 20gb HDD and 3 months of live for 29$ (I'm from Sweden)

20 gig for 20$ is a great deal, especially if you get the arcade, 220$ for 360 with HDD can't beat that

Agreed. GS and EB games selling a used 20 GB HDD for $60 is just criminal.

Yeah it sucks that Microsoft makes you use their HDDs only.

Ok, if you have an Arcade or a Core Xbox 360, you are elegible to purchase a 20GB hardrive complete with 3 months of Xbox live membership, for $20.

This is done by logging onto the Xbox site, following the link, h=then typing in your Xbox serial code (so they can confirm is a core, or arcade)

There is also the option of a free 512mb card, for the core packs.

If they can sell a refurbished 20GB for $20 then why does a new one cost $80 and the 120GB $160?foxhound_fox
used and bruised.

But this is good news for me, I'll be getting one.

What a dumb move by MS to offer the memory card option. This is the perfect opportunity to finally correct the mistake of not putting a hard drive in every console. Just skip straight to free hard drives and call it a day.
