I searched for it and only found it for $249 bryansj 04-28-09, 03:25 PM Elite Refurb 120GB for $199 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4353646&CatId=3266 Also possible to get Live cashback. tonov12 04-28-09, 03:28 PM Nice! The link is in the Deals thread by the way. jasonstiller 04-28-09, 04:35 PM If the 3 yr RROD warranty starts when you buy it then that is a great deal, but... formulanerd 04-28-09, 06:09 PM i believe its just 90 days. whiskey > work 04-28-09, 06:11 PM will break, don't buy Savageone79 04-28-09, 07:57 PM If it is refurbed wouldn't the overheating problem have been resolved? RTRic 04-28-09, 09:33 PM will break, don't buy They all do... shagino 04-29-09, 08:27 AM I think the deal is dead now anyways. Microsoft's website had refurbs with a one year warranty I thought. rdank 04-29-09, 10:29 AM Good deal. Even withouth the warranty, the RROD only takes about a half hour and $12 in parts from Home Depot to fix. bryansj 04-29-09, 11:11 AM I think the deal is dead now anyways.

The $199 Elite deal that I posted still seems to be working. deveng 04-29-09, 04:40 PM The $199 Elite deal that I posted still seems to be working. That really is tempting, primarily for the 120G drive. The problem is that if you read some of the reviews, there are already several complaints of the Xbox being DoA or RRoD in a few days, or loud fan noise, etc. Almost makes the discount a hassel, but as a second (or third) Xbox this might be a great deal. SlaughterX 04-29-09, 05:21 PM Can't you still buy an extended warranty from Microsoft? 257Tony 04-29-09, 06:41 PM Good deal. Even withouth the warranty, the RROD only takes about a half hour and $12 in parts from Home Depot to fix. If you do it right, it takes about an hour and only ~$2 in parts. Local bolt-n-nut supply houses FTW:) johnbe 04-30-09, 03:15 AM I bought a refurb Elite and have had no problems with it. Bought as a 2nd system so was not too worried about losing playing time. Considering the 120GB hard drive and the wireless controller, it was a very good deal. Since I got it a month ago, I have made it my main system. My guess, it will be the same chance of breakage as any other system. You have to determine if it is worth the price of admission. :D |
