yeah i saw that the core systems are like $189 or something I've been thinking about getting another 360 for that price.I'd imagine the chances of it breaking down are the same with any other 360. Even if it did get the 3 red lights it should still be covered, and if you really wanted to you could try and get the 3 red lights and send it in a get it fixed, and then it would be pretty much like new.
I got my 360 at a second hand shop and I got the 3 red lights after about 6 month. Had no problem getting it repaired. I'd say definatly go for it, your saving yourself alot of money.
yeah i dont need to spend extra money just so i can unwrap it and have the cardboard box my other concern is will the xbox live connection be a little laggy during online multiplayer if im using a different ethernet wire instead of an xbox 360 ethernet wire

nope. all wires are basically the same. microsoft's is no better or worse.

Dude its just a basic ethernet cable that comes with the xbox..nothing special about it.. i dont use mine cause i needed a longer one
im glad the controller wires are breakaway once somebody tripped over my pc usb wire and they busted a usb port i would hate for that to happen on xbox 360 but with breakaway wires i think its impossible and another funny thing that happend with my slim ps2 is somebody tripped over the ps2 wire and the 1 ounce ps2 flew right off the table

i dont know if the 360 wires are breakaway......however, they were breakaway on the original xbox, so I cant see them stepping backwards and using regular wired controllers
and the only reason somebody tripped on my ps is cuz i was using a ps1 controller as a second controller and ps1 controllers have shorter wires then ps2 controllers
it says right on gamestop.com The controller includes a nine-foot (nearly three-meter) break-away controller cable. justinpate
I have a wired xbox 360 controller and it is breakaway, which is a good idea if you have a wired controller. I actually have an off-brand wired controller, but I stil feel the breakaway mechanisim is better than it was on the original xbox. My original xbox would constantly tell me the controllers were unpluged while they were still pulgged in. Nothing like that happens with my wired controler.
Whatever dude, like you said people trip over you controler wires..the wireless is the way to go..plus the wired are not breakaway like the old xbox.. i know 50 is alot, but still better then having you xbox pulled over and broken.
Microsoft will not fix your xbox if there is physical damage to it.. So if someone pulls is down.. you just lost 200 bucks.
yeah but for the actual feel of the controller nothing beats first party and ive played with some horrible off brand controllers that make the game almost unplayable their so awful and some 3rd party controllers when u click the analogs the clicking is way to loud and some of them u have to break your thumb to click it i just stick with microsoft for hardware

wow really yours is breakaway.. WTF my one wireed is not...i am looking at my controler right now..its deff not breakaway..Still wireless is the way to go IMO
The chances of them breaking are basically the same as a new one. So yea,to give you a better idea, ask them if it is a Microsoft factory refurb, or just a trade in. if its a factory refurb it should be "like new" be careful if it is just a trade in.
i just called and asked gamestop they said they dont sell trade ins they are all refurbished and any 360 or hard drive that they get has to be sent in first to be refurbished before they can sell it so its a really good deal buying it used
my worst nightmare buys halo 3 goes home opens halo 3 turns on xbox views halo 3 main menu screen xbox starts making funny noises on 8th day xbox dies on me didnt get past main menu screen:cry:
