You run a chance of getting ones with the old chips in them. They were prone to overheating and red ringing. Unless you are cool with sending in your xbox a few times a year for repairs don't buy one. Buy the new elites with the 120GB hard drive in them. They redesigned them.

schmuckingham Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 My backup 360 is a refurbed one from Gamestop. I paid 150ish for it and bought their 18 dollar 1 year warrenty, and before the one year warrenty expires i exchange it. Works pretty well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicranium Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Do not buy a pro version of the 360. You run a chance of getting ones with the old chips in them. They were prone to overheating and red ringing. Unless you are cool with sending in your xbox a few times a year for repairs don't buy one. Buy the new elites with the 120GB hard drive in them. They redesigned them. Actually it's a lot easier to find a Pro (60GB version) with the newest chipset than an Elite. At least it was a month or two ago. At that point the only "Elite" with the new chipset (Jasper) was the red Resident Evil LE one. With the elimination of the Pro and lower price for the Elite, Elites with the new chipset are starting to trickle into the market though. Just go searching local stores (Best Buy, Gamestop, etc.) for the newly boxed Elites. In a white box rather gray and it should have less accessories (that's one of the ways they were able to lower the price - no HDMI cable included, some other unimportant stuff). Those should have a good chance of being the newest, most reliable chipset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
