I dont do reviews much, but in this situation I think one is warranted. Ill stick primarily to the facts, because they are indisputable. I purchased a professionally refurbished Xbox 360 from respawnedelectronix on 12/01/12 for $90 on eBay. On 4/18/13 the Xbox purchased from them faulted to a red ring of death condition, indicating a 0102 code which corresponds to a "Digital Backbone" (CPU/GPU/RAM) failure. I contacted respawnedelectronix about the failure, and was notified that the 60 warranty had past, and to PURCHASE repair service through them, with a $10 discount. Since this was a Christmas present for my son, the only thing I did was plug it in when it arrived to make sure it
wasnt dead on arrival and then place it back in the box. This Xbox wasnt even played on until 12/27/12 since we were jumping around to relatives throughout the holidays. Then we went on a short winter vacation while my son was off of school. So effectively this Xbox didnt get general use until the second week of January 2013. With school, sports, family gatherings and other activities,
liberally speaking this console saw MAYBE 40 hours of gaming time between mid-January and mid-April when it died. Take it for what it is worth readers, if you buy professionally refurbished products from respawnedelectronix be sure to buy an EXTENDED WARRANTY, because I bet you will need it.
