We bought a ''Refurbished'' and ''Guaranteed'' Original Xbox for our daughters this Christmas, My wife bought it the day after Thanksgiving also she bought the 1 year warranty coverage plan for an extra $20 since it was not a NEW item. The Xbox sat all wrapped up in our closet until yesterday (past the 30 day coverage) when they opened it but it was running really rough for them not reading discs etc.
I checked it out and found that it was getting all kinds of errors reading discs and refusing to even power up half the time.

My wife took it back to Gamestop today to get a replacement and discovered that DISPITE the box saying REFURBISHED, CLEANED, TESTED, GUARANTEED. that it is in fact NOT guarateed to work, they only allow you 30 days to return it if it is not working. Also the 1 year Warranty was not a real warranty for 1 year., it is only a 1 time use warranty meaning that if the ''refurbished'' console breaks they will fix/replace it only one single time thus voiding the remaining time under warranty coverage....

My wife went all pissed off on the manager when he started telling her that they would not do anything for her except replace it once making the warranty void.. he put up a minor fight but then he backed down and replaced the Xbox, under the 30 day guarantee and left the 1 year coverage in place. Luckily the replacement is running well so my kids should have lots of Xbox fun..

I just thought I would toss this out here as further evidence that GAMESTOP is NOT IN ANY WAY friendly to gamers and only seeks to TAKE your money hand over fist even if it means that they have to lie to do it and by offering Misleading and outright lie based ''guarantees/warranties''

Just be smart and don't use gamestop anymore than you have to....

Gamestop clearly sucks upon the balls of lameness, at your expense
