I have Wii but wish I bought the 360 instead. Wonder if I can trade it off on craigslist?

Ours does that pretty much every other time you turn it on. High quality stuff. Anyway, usually we can turn it off and turn it back on and its fine.

sounds like your issue could be the power supply.

Never buy used Xbox 360'*. The failure rate is too high to do that, I'd recommend only buying a new one, they come with a three year warranty from MS.

Get it out of the box and turn it on..about 30 minutes later 3 RED Leds on the front ring around the power button are flashing.

Appears to be dead.

Seller is giving me a run-around. I'm going to at minmum lose the return shipping ($25 at least)......oh well.

I guess that teaches me a lesson not to buy a refurb. Thinking of either getting an arcade or getting the "premium bundle" now vs a GEN 1 Xbox.

I wouldn't advise getting a regular xbox if you're trying to save space dude! they're huge and bulky.... but then again, whenever Kim "borrows" my head phones without asking, it makes a nice alarm clock for her....... at five in the morning! it makes a nice big banging noice when you drop it on a tile floor!
