Looking to buy a used 360

I checked around ebay and figure I could get a refurbed console for about a hundred and some change. Add in a HDD and wires and it will be in the 170 range. Is this a good deal? I realize there is always a risk buying used. I've come across a few with a 2010 manufacture date. That would mean I'm covered until 2013 under microsoft's warranty, right?

I don't see the problem as long as you don't buy a very old one. But personally I would just save up some more money and get one of the elite bundles.

A used Xbox 360 not the best idea, I once bought a used MODDED xbox 360 which did not knew, I used it for 4 months then mw2 came out then got banned with a legit copy of it.

Yea, I hate 360 that 360 I bought b/c my old 360 got RROD. Running my 5th 360 now.

Can you answer my other question about the warranty? If it has a 2010 manufacture date then I have until 2013 before the warranty expires, correct? If that is the case and it does break down I can send it in for a free repair. Not to mention if I do buy it and it doesn't work, or if I find the seal is broken, I can return it and get my money back. If someone can confirm the warranty question, then I see no problem buying it used for much cheaper.

Nevermind on my last post. I just saw somebody already answered the warranty question. What is this license transfer you're talking about Juggalo?

??? FTW??? A new Xbox 360 cost 199.99!! Google Used Xbox 360 console and a huge list of options come up for less than 170!! Go to craigslist and you can get one from someone for 120.00 and less.

It depends on what you want to do with the console though. I am waiting for a price drop first then getting used, and my own 250 HDD for less than 150.00. I will not need to use ONLINE at all so no worries here. YOU can look at which console chips have the most porblems to aviod them.

A warranty is a MUST for 360s. But for me personally, I never buy anything used that is electronics, especially games because no one seems to take care of games like I do. :)

I bought my first Xbox 360 used on eBay for $150.00. It came with a 20gb HDD, 2 wireless controllers, and component cables and power brick. When it came it wasnt very well packaged which caused it to have issues with opening the cd/dvd drive occasionally so i would have to hit the side for it to open.

Wait for E3, they will more likely be announcing a price drop. E3 is like June 15th I think. That's when I'm going to buy another 360. (traded the other into gamestop lolz)

i personally would not buy a used 360, but thats just mechaoscougar1

I recently bought a used one and as soon as I turned it on it had 4 red lights. I never experienced that so I looked around online and found out I just needed to have the av plug in better, it came with the cords that say hd or tv on them, but it also came with a 20GB HDD and a WIRED controller for only $180. To me this pack seems really weird but I'm happy with it so far. But with all that said buying a used 360 is a gamble and I don't feal safe with recommending it to just anyone.

If the console was manufactured in in 2010, you should have no issues.
