LMAO...about as bad as buying used underwear..thanks for that idea about putting it on lay-a-way . I didnt think of that .

Mass Murda, you contradicted yourself in your post. You said its not worth with all the 360's history of red rings to go out and buy used, yet all the new ones you bought had the same problem with red rings. Actually, my same friend that suggested ebay, bought one of the 360's he had at best buy.

I purchased a refurb from an online retailer and although I was meant to believe it was a refurb from MS. It turns out when it got the RROD and I sent it in to MS. It was tampered with and not deemed repairable.

I am a little upset but will try the do it yourself repair kit. If it doesnt work I think I'll drop MS altogether and try and get a refund for the two live accounts I purchased.

With all the problems the 360s have with reliability when BRAND NEW, there is NO way I'd consider a used one unless it was dirt cheap to the point where I wouldn't be mad if it went down ($50-60).

How can you blame MS for a used refurbished console you bought dying? My 2nd ps3 died, but it was a cheaper refurb anyways. It sucked, but I got it for the lower price and shrugged off the failure.

Always buy consoles brand new. Always.

Anyone that would buy a refurb'ed Xbox 360 needs their head examined. Seriously.

you can find them for like $60, which makes them quite disposable.

It's amazing how people are loyal to the 360 after all the reliability issues. Like the bf/gf that is always cheating but the other person won't leave them. All the while, hoping that the person will eventually change.
