Should I buy an Xbox 360 new or used off ebay or something?

I'm thinking that a used one would cost a lot less and come with more stuff, but I'm afraid that if it breaks down it wouldn't be under any sort of warranty so.

Also is it possible, if it breaks down, to buy a new one off let's say Best Buy and put my old one in the box and return it as the new one?

    the best bet is to get one with a warranty, xboxs are well known to break down. the old switcharoo used to work with old consoles but now i think they check the serial numbers when you return it cause on the original receipt it has the serial number so you may get embarrassed if they call you out on it so i dont know, you can get a used one from a used game store for bout 100 bucks maybe less without cords and stuff

    I wouldn't buy a refurbished 360 from ebay because 1. it's refurbished, so that means there was something wrong with it. 2. The only company I would trust to refurbish my 360 would be MS and nobody else. 3. They might opened the inside, thus voiding your warranty. 4. If there's something wrong with it, it's tough trying to return it. Why don't you just get the arcade? It's only 200 bucks.

    I would buy a new xbox 360 and get a good warranty on it just in case it gets red rings.

    buy it new becasue theres less chance of it breaking down.

    if you get one from craigslist.org you can try it but it might break down after u buy it
