Hey Im looking at a refurbished Xbox 360 on ebay but Im wondering about whether if I get the ring of death Microsoft will fix it. Anybody know about how the warranties work with refurbished systems and systems bought on ebay?

Maybe....maybe not.

Depends all on the date the console was made.

I bought a refurbished xbox off of ebay a couple weeks ago myself. At first, the system froze up a few times but after updating the system firmware, it seems to be running just fine. My only advice is to make sure all of the equipment works and keep in contact with the seller just in case anything happens.

As far as the warranty goes....the 3 year warranty only covers the RROD. Any other warranty, you'll have to register the console and find out if there are any warranties on it.

That still doesn't mean much. It still has a good chance of RRoD.
