#3, yes it is, considering the refurb no-hard drive system is $250 and another $80+ to add on your own drive. I bought an original xbox refurb and never had a problem with it.
Personally, though, I'd recommend ebay or craigslist for a deal on a used xbox system cause you'll probably wing up getting games and accessories included, which you can sell or trade-in somewhere.
I thought the platinum just came out not too long ago. Refurbish units already?!
That's the "Elite" unit.
My guess is that they replaced the power-supplies (external) on a bunch of units and re-packed-em.
Some of the drives seem to hork discs, as well, but I'm not sure if they've acknowledged that.
Is this a good price?
reapackaged turds for sale skeeters!
#2, "hork"?
LOL, it's the Great White North.

nice, but still expensive for a refurbished console
so.. does this unit has samsung or lg-hitachi drive?
i am thinking of getting one now! but the psps can be had for ~$120 refurbed too...
anyone know the failure rate on the xbox? i really want to get one
#10 take the following
Microsoft released that .1% of their systems burn out..out of that .1%, 1% burn down a person's house.
So lets say Microsoft has received and "Repaired" about 100,000 units. that .1% = 100 units
out of that 100, 1 of them can burn down your house.(100 *1%)
So the odds are of an xbox 360 burning down your house is .001%
Then theres only 1 question to ask yourself...do you feel lucky?..well do ya?
This is a good price
BAH got mine Dec 22nd at ToysRus for $399.99 with $100 gift card.
And you are paying $310 for refurbed.... please

Does anyone know how often 360s get the "red ring of death"?
