~ Thinking about getting a referb xBox 360 from GameStop ~
~ Thinking about getting a referb xBox 360 from GameStop ~
It'll be a gift for Christmas for me and the woman :D
Is there a certain range of serial/model numbers I should stay away from? Just kind of wondering because of all this RRoD stuff. Something of a Falcon chip, I dont know WTF Im talking about. Any tips?
On a side note; Ive had, and still have my original xBox for over six years and was a referb from GameStop :rock:
Re: ~ Thinking about getting a referb xBox 360 from GameStop ~
Mine is a refurb'd one from gamestop and I've had it for well over a year now. It even has a sticker on the back saying it's been refurb'd.
No issues at all. I play online for hours on-end and it works great.
I made sure I bought an extended warranty with it though...you know, just incase ;)
DONT. 9/10 of them DONT work, or do work for a couple weeks then crap out. Just buy a new one. It'll last longer and its a garanteed Jasper.
Strange... My brother got a new one and it lasted about 6 months, and Microsuck wouldnt replace it. Hes had his refurb for 3 years... I guess hes that one of ten. But dont see why I should get a new one if they all do it. Why pay more for the same POS?

I didnt know you could get anything longer than 30days, cool. How long is it and how much?

If you do get the RROD it's easy to fix. Thermal past and a few m5 screws. You can even install better fans or heatsinks in it while you have it apart. It's pretty easy.

OH And I alos need to know what options are available for hooking it up for HDTV... And anyone of you guys done mod chips? Still trying to figure out how to tell if it has a Falcon chip or not...

I take it youve done this before?
Had to, one of my xbox's **** out way past it's warranty. The original white one I had lasted me like 4 years, that's the one I had to do it on. But my elite f'n **** out on me in like 2 years but they extended the warranty on those so I sent that one in.

Either way, they're easy to fix.
Cool. Never knew it was that easy. How long have they lasted after the fact?
