Is it refurbished through Microsoft or some other place? If Microsoft refurbished it, then it should come with an updated warranty, but if its a refurbished system through, say, Gamestop or something, then its probably their store warranty only.

Well, buying used is always a pain because if someone has it registered already, you have to call MS and get someone to switch it for you then you can find out how long the warranty still has left. My only experience with it is a friend who got a refurb from another friend. It got RROD so we called and got the name changed so we could look up the warranty. It was fixed in 2007 and the warranty ran out a year later. So, I would say no, you don't get three years from MS. Since you buying from a store, ask them what type of warranty they offer.

If Microsoft did the fixing and refurbishing and the repackaging of the system, then it should come with a new Microsoft warranty.

If your local store did the fixing and refurbishing, then its pretty much whatever might be left over of the original Microsoft warranty aside from whatever kind of warranty the store might give you.
