No but I got a used one from ebay.A great deal with a crapload of games and accessories.It runs as good as any new 360.It doesnt have a warranty but I can prolly get it fixed for about $40 if anything does happen.

So I would advise you to shop at ebay instead for a refurb system...you can get so much more bang for the buck,EB and GS are total ripoffs!!!

If you go refurb, might as well look on eBay. Like the guy said, you can find cheap 360 repair people all around. Check craigslist for repair services. I talked with one who charges 60. But he puts in new hardware too, so the cost is justified.

Even if you end up paying that 60 dollar fee you are probably at the same point you would be buying refurb...and new hardware that is less likely to crap out.

It depends, some refurbs just had to get a new dvd drive, while some had major work done. In any case you should buy the refurb only if you are saving 140 bucks or more to cover any possibility of repair.
