Do you own more than one xbox 360?

Off topic chat. Basically anything that doesn't concern halo or halo modding can go here.

But that's my outtake.
yeah, No. I honestly don't care that much to get a dev box, I just want to get a 360 for 150 or less (need 40-50 for gas and such) but the only one I found was a Gamestop refurb with no Manufacturer warranty. Dunno how good they are, but the no manufacturers warranty thing scares me.
Yeah well if it was originally refurbed by MS, use my advice and just..

If it ever rrods, use a blowdryer to take the sticker off one of your friends boxes temporarily, and put it on yours. Once you get your new one back, give them a sticker back.

If $50 less worth it for an older box with no warranty? Absolutely not! Microsoft has changed the 360 multiple times over its lifetime; my newest one has a different power supply and runs 10x quieter than any of my previous boxes. Also, like I said before, I've had to go through 5 different 360s due to the RROD. Spend the extra $50 and buy a new one: you will not regret it.

...and commit fraud while you're at it! Seriously though, while meticulously blowdrying stickers and opening 360s sounds like a good time, I'd rather just spend the $50.

Uh, he never once said to open your 360, as that would void the warranty.
The situation you made up would be stupid, as you made it up. So you're right in that sense.
What you're actually saying though is that you'd rather pay $50 than changing a sticker.

Indeed.. and that's only in the event that it DOES break.

Even so, notice I only said if it was repaired by Microsoft. I stated that to clearly point out no one else should've voided warranty. There have been cases where people have gotten 360's back without a warranty sticker. I myself even have.

Regardless, I never told you to open it like Veegie said..

And Cuda said he already doesn't want to spend the extra 50$. So your advice "yo spend the extra 50$" just makes you fail.

Why don't you go slapchop your dick?

Ok. I still think having an all-new unit would be best, considering my track-record with MS-repaired units in the past, but I'm not going to keep going over this since I've already made my point.

The last two times I've sent mine in they've just sent me a brand new one.
