I dont' know if I would trust a small business like this one. Just because I've had experiences where if it doesn't work, you only get store credit, and then you don't know when the store will actually close down...so to each their own.

Ibtl?

Cool deal I've been looking into getting XBOX360 though, and I've heard many horror stories of them overheating, dying on people for no apparent reason, and somehow wrecking game discs. So I would probably feel safest getting it brand new.

Ibtl?

Why? Derek already checked it out and found no evidence of foul play.

I don't see anything on the website.

i think a refurbed xbox is bad news.
but the good thing is microsofts new warranty repair. so I guess if you send it in now, they will fix it and give you a new one year warranty..... but a repair costs like $150 or something.

Friend of mine paid $80 for his off-warranty console repair. Got a full one year warranty and a new console (they only ship new consoles in Canada apparently)

This isn't bad considering I paid $50 to buy their 2 year extended warranty. He essentially got a new console after 15 months use and an additional 1 year warranty for $80

Ive never heard of this company

MS's new warranty on repairs is they replace you w/ a new console now? ... so no more refurb replacements?

[Cantley]

This could be a good deal if you can still buy the 2-year warranty directly from MS. I would not buy the extended warranty from wisebuy though.

They don't replace you, they just replace your console.

I have sent in over 7 Xbox 360's to microsoft for repair due to the ring of death problem and they sent me all new Xbox 360s with current manufacturing dates (eg, had a few with Nov, Dec 2005 date codes with Hitachi drives and I got new Dec 2006 versions with samsung drives)

The only problem is the warranty is good from the original xbox not the new one even though the date code is recent

Microsoft charges 26 Canadian for extended one year warranty or $52 for 2 years
