ehh, should I buy this 360?

My friend has a 360 that, may or may not be dying. Everytime it turns on it makes a weird loud sound and sometimes cannot read the disk. He wants to sell it to me for like 20 dollars. For that cheap, should I buy it from him? I'm guessing it's very near its RROD tragedy, but for $20 Idk. What do you think?

my last one did that, been doing it for about 4 months and still going, but takes about an hour to get a disc to play, gets a lot of un-readable disc errors in the middle of games, and has ruined at least 3 games still good for streaming movies, watching movies from flash drives etc.. but thats about it.

Well, if it's under warranty, yes. If not, no.

for 20, I'd say sure. Anything more no way.

He'd keep hounding you to sell it back for $20 again.

But hell yeah I'd do this if I bought a random stranger's console xD

Buy buy buy!

The horrible noise is most likely the dvd drive, possibly the system fan. If the console has never red ringed before its a good console.

Replace the drive with a new one from ebay. Swap the drive keys. Clean it up inside, maybe change the thermal compound. Bobs your unkle a perfecly working console for dirt cheap!

Take it from me I do this kind of thing for a living.

even if it isn't under warranty and it breaks it is $99.99 to fix it, then you get another 1 year warranty, so a (basically) brand new xbox for $120...not bad

for 20, I'd say sure. Anything more no way.

I'd do it for $20 but start saving money for a new one. You can also borrow some of his games so the whole package would be a deal doing that.

Go for it. If its not covered well get it fixed and your getting a conolse pretty freaking cheap.
