A Fast console

The Xbox 360 Pro/Premium is a really delicate console in a way that it lets you can do anything you want without moving.

What a terrible product

I first purchased my xbox 360 pro 60GB on 12/01/08. It quit reading discs and I had to have it replaced with the Best Buy warranty 10/10/09- that's right didn't even last a year. And what a surprise, I got the red ring of death on the refurbished one on 10/21/10. So these consoles only last a year- they are pretty much worthless. I'm really disappointed in Microsoft for keeping such a poor product on the market since they obviously know how bad it is (they have remade the console). Either Best Buy or Microsoft should really pull these old consoles off the market. Hopefully the new ones will last a little longer.

So i bought this xbox 360 pro refurbished and now, about 3 weeks later, I am sending it back to Best Buy because it Red Ringed already. I didn't play 15hrs a day or keep it on all the time, but within 3 weeks its fried and i have to wait for another. So this is a great deal and xbox, but im hoping the next one lasts a bit longer.

Horrible Xbox's

I'm really hoping that people read these reviews before they purchase these refurbs. I purchased my xbox as a present for my nephew, not even 2 weeks after i gave it to him as a gift did it get a E74 (one of the worst red codes you can get) red blink on slot 4. I called up NUKO, not bestbuy since they pretty much wash their hands of you as soon as you purchase they refurb consoles. so now you only deal with NUKO. NUKO told me to send it in (they did provide ship both ways). It took about 3 weeks to get it back. Once i got it back i sent it back to my nephew, another 3 weeks and it was messed up. At this point i thought it might have been him playing it too much. He is 19yrs old and told me he only plays it sparingly at best.
So this second time i sent it back they sent me a new refurbished one because i told them it was a gift and it was making me look bad. i got the new refurb and it messed up again with 3 blinking lights, i took it to a professional xbox repairing thinking it was NUKO that can't do a proper fix. 2 weeks later, i got an E74 again.
Long long story short, the guy that fixed the xbox told me that these refurbs are not made to be working for a long time, at least to just outlast their warranty that is 3 months, most don't even last that long. So, these xbox's have messed up a total of 4 times, and i am out money, and i will be selling the xbox for about 40 bucks on ebay and just buy the new one which i am told is much better so that my nephew finally has a good xbox
So, do your self a favor and pay extra and stay AWAY from refurbs!

Disappointed

Well basically heres the problem. I happily ordered my xbox after wanting one for several months, and i decided to go with a refurbish after looking over the customer reviews. My xbox arrived and worked fine, I didn't have a single problem with it up until today. I went to turn on my xbox and what else pops up but the RROD. That figures, luckily I'm still under warranty, but the time wasted calling the manufacturer, researching the warranty, researching the error, spending 20 minutes on the phone with customer service, and the wait for a "repaired" xbox is not worth your troubles. If you're buying this product, be aware that this same problem could happen to you, not saying that it will, but consider buying a NON refurbished console instead.

RROD after 4 months

I bought the Xbox 360 in august of this year, still keeping in mind that it was refurbished. Even though it was refurbished, I expected it to last at least a year. Unfortunately, it didn't even last half a year, which was very disappointing. And, the warranty happened to be 90 days, which was very interesting considering it lasted about 30 days longer than that. This product is not reliable and neither is the company that refurbished it.

Didn't Last Two Weeks!!

I bought a refurbished Xbox to replace a unit that died on me and I thought buying one from Best Buy would be the best idea. It didn't last me more than two weeks and I had to return it. I put the discs in but it wouldn't read them. I guess I should have read the other reviews of people on here who've had the same problems. They seriously need to look at what's going on with their refurbished products or pull them from their website.

When I bought this it didnt take long to come in with standard shipping. The system was in perfect condition and it came with more then wat it said in the description. The only downside is that the fan is pretty load. It doesn't bother me at all though.

Works excellent. The fan is a bit loud but otherwise is in great condition.
