Hardware and Tech / What should I look out for in buying a used Xbox360
« on: June 22, 2013, 08:23:32 am »
I have been thinking about buying a Xbox 360. I have seen a few games the really peak my interest(Injustice). I am wondering what I should look out for in buying a used 360? I know about the RROD and it doesn't seem to hard to fix it since I have electronic experience. I don''t know a lot about the newer systems. All I have that is newer is a WII and I don't play it my son does.
My main concern are things like bricking, rooting, jailbreaking, and other terms I see used to describe the newer game systems that I do not know what they mean or how they affect the system. Heck I kept seeing Dishonored Xbox360 ads and thought Microsoft wouldn't let that Xbox go online with them. It wasn't till I was talking to a friend that he told me it was a game. What should I look for in a used 360? I can also follow directions so fixing a broken one isn't out of the question if it can be fixed.
