Hey everyone, it's been awhile since I've posted in GS forums. Anyway, a guy at my work had a 360 core and he got RROD shortly after Halo3 came out. Instead of waiting to get his original box back, he went and bought an elite. His core has come back and he's selling it for $160 with a few accessories, namely 3rd party cooling fan, wireless adapter, and a headset. I think 160 is a great deal and I am sure that I'll have fun with the 360 but I'm worried about recurring RROD's. What are the chances of this happening again after sending it in and getting it back? He had sent it away about a month ago and got it back last week and I'm in Canada, if geographic location for repairs makes a difference. He had a 3 year warranty on it and there's still 1 year left.
I guess I should also ask whether or not you guys think I should grab this while I can or if I should go for a higher-end model. Thanks for all the feedback, by the way. This RROD issue has had me hesitating for a while now because I DO want the console.
A tough decision for that situation. But if like you said the unit came back repaired by M$, then I'd go with it simply it would suck real bad for you to buy the latest one and suffer the RRoD. But its a core right? Then you would still need the hard drive if you want to go on live, not necessary though but might as well get it if you plan to get XBL.
Oh, I forgot to mention that. There is a 20gb harddrive too! I totally plan on getting XBL and I'm looking forward to it more than ever. 160 isn't that much and if I like it and it craps out I'm sure I won't have an issue with getting a higher-end model. Thanks much for the feedback, you two! It is greatly appreciated!
