Well, there are definitely some people buying a new 360 to replace a failed unit because they're unaware of the 3 year 3RROD warranty, or because they're dealing with a non-3RROD failure.
Some don't know that buying a repair for $100 or $140 or whatever from MS means they get a one-year warranty with their repair. Some assume that a new box wouldn't fail although a refurb will. Some people want an excuse to buy an elite ("because it's the best"), and some people buy one and plan on selling their refurb.
The latter case is fairly prevalent -- you can see how many refurbs are available for sale.
