Got my newsletter from GAME and it said:

Wii 1999 (285$)
360 1490 (212$)
PS3 3490 (499$)

So i was like.. eh what? I figured it was the arcade, but still.. way below the Wii in price. So i clicked the image and it took me to their xmas deal for the 360. And it says: "Xbox 360 Arcade - Refurbished. OBS! This console is Refurbished, which means that the previous faulty components have been replaced by Microsoft who've restored the console to its former condition, more or less."

Yey?! And thats all the Arcades they got. How safe is a refurbished 360? Its the "more or less" im having a hard time with. Warranty still applies, but im not a big fan of sending products across the country and sit around waiting for stuff to be repaird.

For what might I ask do you want a 360 for?

Mainly games. Exclusive ones, aswell as Fifa 10. Hence why im mainly looking for an arcade. Luckily i've been good this year so santa's going to bring me one. Just seems strange to only offer refurbished ones and i would feel bad if i told santa to buy me one, and it brakes down.

pay a little more and get a brand new one.

the pain of having an ex-RROD machine is not something you should want to try.
