I would avoid refurbished, some might get lucky and get a good one but more likely it will break sooner than a new one. A new one isn't that expensive anymore.
got one online and it actually lasted awhile before crapping out, though my friend did the same and it got RROD in one week, then they sent him a replacement that did the same as soon as he plugged it in. Luck of the draw really, but I wouldn't trust it
I'd only buy refurbished if it was refurbished by Microsoft. Even then I'd just buy an Arcade and eventually get a HDD. 360s are fickle as it is. Buying a refurbished one is just adding gas to the fire.
Buddy has been playing a refurb for over a year now. I know of one co-worker who did get a RROD on a new machine. But, he kept it on the floor where it sucked up dog hair and dust soooo bad that the vents were simply covered. He also keeps his apartment at 80 with humidity. That sure didn't help.
