Should I go through with this?

So a friend of mine has a Xbox 360 that has the E-74 error message and he called Microsoft support to get it fixed, but since he doesn't have a receipt, they are charging him for it, so he bought a new one. He told me that his xbox 360 is a Halo 3 edition so obviously it came out in late 2007 so it should still be covered by the 3 year warranty correct? I told him that I could get it fixed and he is offering to sell it to me for 60 dollars with one control. Should I do it? Would MS still repair it for free because its a Halo 3 edition Xbox (I guess he forgot to mention that to the Customer Support person) ?

Why would MS ask for a receipt?  They don't care where you bought it from...

Yeah...after 3 times of sending it in, I've never had Microsoft ask me for a receipt...
