Ok, so I am a huge videogame fan, who is no fanboy to any company and buys any system that looks fun. So, I bought the wii, because I am a poor college student and found resident evil 4 to be amazing, well I am such a huge resident evil fan, that I decided that i'm going to buy a 360 just for resident evil 5 alone. I recently also played bioshock and found it to be amazing, so have decided i'd like to get a 360 sooner than planned. The only problem is I can only afford a used system on ebay, but I know the 360 has had problems with the red ring of death and that microsoft issued a new warranty program witht he repalcements, but my question is, if I buy one used on ebay and it breaks down on me, will it still be covered under the new replacement program microsoft issued, or am I S.O.L.? I really want a 360, but can't afford a new one.
Good things come to those who wait... Don't buy a used one. The hassle of it breaking down sucks. Save for a little longer, and save yourself the trouble.
If i were you i'd just wait it out til you have the money then go for a new one. Never know on ebay and like you said you might be SOL cause i don't know if the warranty transfers over or not.
Alright, thanks for the advice. As much as I hate to shell out more money that I probably can't afford, i'm just going to save a little extra up and get a new one...although it won't be the elite, def. gonna hafta go with the 20 gig version. How long did Microsoft extend the warranty for again? Thanks again for the help
The ring of death is when the button on your xbox to turn it on and off which is usually green turns red. This usually means that your disc drive has gone bad so you need to then contact microsoft and send in your xbox for repair.

Exactly. Save and buy it new. Save yourself the trouble.
