What's great about it: so many features!
What's not so great: no wifi adapter or HDD
From reading other peoples review, and from talking to my local bestbuy, I found out that these refurbished xbox's are pretty much luck of the draw. You do not know if your xbox was originally red ringed, or if was simply returned for no reason. Nevertheless, I decided to buy the refurbished xbox360.
I so far have had no rerets! I popped in a 20 gb hard drive that my friend gave me (doesnt come with a harddrive#, got a cooler fan, bridged an internet connection through my laptop #because this doesnt have wifi), got the xbox companion app for my Windows phone, and extended my main computers media center through the extender.
I have my xbox on pretty much most of the day for playing music, netflix, and watching/recording tv with the media player extender. I constantly check for overheating issues, but have not had one yet. I am really happy with my purchase!
final thoughts: Keep the xbox horizontal and OFF the carpet! This DOES NOT come with a hard drive or wifi adaper....but it DOES come with an hdmi cable, wireless controller, and component cables. also, google: "bridge xbox 360 windows 7 internet connection" this is one way of getting around the no wifi problem

What's great about it: The price (or so it seemed)
What's not so great: Didn't work at all
I bought this for a Christmas gift (when they were on sale as the Deal of the Day). Unfortunately, the xbox was RROD immediately causing great sorrow. I have never had trouble with BB refurbished items until now, and am rather shocked that this one got through inspection. Fortunately, Microsoft is great with product support since the return date had passed. Will be getting another xbox 360 from MS and will be very careful before I buy any more refurbs from BB.

What's great about it: The price and hard disk space.
What's not so great: I would have rather it been black instead of white.
Bought this about a month ago and LOVE IT! This is my first gaming system since Super Nintendo and this is amazing. I have no complaints what so ever. I did read the reviews so I was a little worried at first, so I went ahead and purchased the 2 year extended protection!

I've only had my 360 for around 3 weeks now. In my opinion this system is not worth getting. It was having issues the first day i got it. It did work well for the first week or so then started having more and more issues. Currently my xbox doesent read any of my disks and actualy put a large scratch in one of them. This system is not worth what i paid for it...

I have had the console for about a week now and it is working great. I have it on it's side and it is working great for ventalation. The console is somewhat loud when it has a disc in it but other than that it is perfect. Occationally the controller will just shut off and I will have to turn it back on but it works well. It might just be that I have been using the same batteries since i bought it and I have been playing a lot.

What's not so great: doesn't read discs
just received this today. it plays games from my hard drive and i can watch netflix, but it will not read any discs, game discs or dvds.
going to bring this back to best buy tomorrow and just pony up the extra $$ for the new xbox 360 s. at least then i'll have an actual good warranty/wifi and it's kinect ready.
after reading all these other reviews, it seems these refurbs are not worth it.

What's great about it: Good, while it lasted.
What's not so great: RRoD, and heating problems.
I bought a 360 Arcade the DAY it came out, and it lasted only a week. I played for MAYBE an hour a day, and it was well vented, while on tile, laying on it's side.
I loved it... until it crashed, then Target wouldn't take it back, and Microsoft wanted to repair it, and i still have not gotten a replacement or money!
Bought a PS3 that week. Still going as of 2011! PSN is better than live... video chat is great, built in WIFI, better graphics, and overall a better UI.
Buy a PS3, not this garbage.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Great graphics, great online community
What's not so great: bad reputation that may be abit more consumer neglect than product defect.
I love my Xbox 360. I have had it for 3 years with no issues.
Mine started out as an Arcade and I added a 20GB hard drive.
Mine started out as an Arcade and I added a 20GB hard drive.
Granted the 360's do have a bad reliability reputation I think that this is mostly the consumers fault.
If you keep it dust free, lay it on its side so it has air flow through the large vents on the sides it will run at much cooler temps. Also don't set it on carpet that will only restrict air flow.
Perfectly fine equipment will last along time if you take care of it.
Xbox live is the much better online community. It's price did go up $10 this year but for what you get for that ammount it is well worth it. Lots of games are available to buy online, so they need a 1TB drive and maybe the ability to save the games on a server on your network.
Game developers all seem to be saying that they have met the current gen consoles maximum capabilities.
Microsoft said that they see the 360 having a 15 year life cycle being about 7 years old that still leaves some time. I honestly think that next gen consoles will come out xmas of 2012 and the 360 and Ps3 will continue on much like the PS2 has all these years.

What's great about it: It's the Xbox 360!
What's not so great: It's the damaged Xbox 360!
After about four days after it arrived, the console had some fatal errors. It's disheartening that the company charged to refurbish these consoles could do such a poor job, if any job at all. I will say that the return process wasn't entirely challenging. Hopefully I receive a console in proper working condition.

What's great about it: Cost
What's not so great: Hard Drive
There are better 360s out there and for only a little more than this price. This xbox has an extremely small hard drive, preventing you from being able to download features (like netflix and espn) because there is not enough room on the hard drive for all these things. It performs basically like other 360s, and it worked fine, despite being refurbished. Basically, invest a little more and you can get a much better 360.

What's great about it: clean like new and good price
What's not so great: possibly faulty equipment
ive had my xbox 360 arcade for over a month and have had no trouble its quiet and works like new. my only problem is that the controller that came with it had a few buttons malfunctioning. its all good though cuz i got a new one sent to me pretty quickly. overall im satisfied with my purchase and would recommend to anyone on a budget. new is always better than rebuilt. but when you get an xbox for 130 that operates like new why would you pass that up?

What's great about it: Awesome, while it works
What's not so great: Xbox has a much deserved reputation for chronic reliability problems
I got the refurbished Xbox for my son for Christmas. It worked great, over the holidays, then got where it wouldn't read any discs. I was a bit upset until I took it back to Best Buy. They let me return the unit and gave me a full refund. The guy in customer service was an expert at customer service. I was amazed at how enjoyable the whole experience was. I own a computer services company and shop at Best Buy a lot, for the convenience and usually for the good prices. I will add exceptional customer service to that list.

I purchased this unit for the whole family for Christmas to use with the Connect. I went shopping on Black Friday and Best Buy store was out of the Connect and XBox Sold as a package. I ordered this unit OnLine and refurbished. I did not realize that I needed a "hard drive" in order to enjoy the Connect. I have since ordered the hard drive, but so far, with the limited use we have had for the unit I am relatively satisfied.
