new retails for 150$ + tax and shipping

refurbs are about 120$ + tax and shipping

i'd go new... unless they have same warranty

It's a $30 savings but they probably only give a 30 to 90 day warranty. Might as well get a new one.

If you plan on modding it I'd go with a refurb as the newer versions are a tad bit harder to modify.

New is also 90 day warranty.

I don't trust refurb'ed consoles. Maybe I'm unlucky but the ones I've gotten were heavily used and broke down within a couple months.

i bought a refurb but only cause i got it modded. i didn't care if it was new cause it was being modded.

i love my modded xbox.

Trade in a bunch of junky dvds to blockbuster and get a used one from them for free.

new....it's only $30 more, and then you get that intoxicating new electronics plastic smell

 

[0roo0roo]

considering its got a hd and a dvd drive, stuff with wear and tear...

 

Factory refurb = teh devil.

 

[KoolDrew]

I would also go new sinc the price is not a huge difference
