Don't buy these electronics used

Electronics are expensive and expendable, making them likely candidates for resale if someone's looking for quick cash. But most should be avoided unless you're buying from a reputable dealer who's willing to include a warranty that covers the risks.

I thought for sure that the Xbox 360 was going to be on that list. It seems like it would be so fitting for this place.

IzKyD13316628d ago

you'd think the 360 would be on this list, because buying a used 360 is like shooting yourself in the foot...but since MSN is a Microsoft website, i can see why they would leave it out

crck6628d ago

Not only do you have defects that might not surface immediately but you have consoles that may have been Live banned, modded or tampered with in some other way. Buying a 360 used is just a bad idea unless you can get it for $150 or less. At that price if it breaks you can still probably part it out and break even.

OJ_juice6628d ago

also agrees. It should be it's own category. lol.

mikeslemonade6628d ago

No because you shouldn't buy a 360 new or refurbished either until they sort out the faulty hardware. Because that 3 year warranty doesn't last forever.

I tell everybody if your going to get an Xbox 360 system do not get it used. My advice go to Vegas and gamble your money the chances are so much better.

theredfoxisquick6627d ago

MSN is owned by MS, so that's why 360 is not on the list.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing15d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit15d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing15d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9215d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
