Well, my situation unfolds like so:
I'm in the market to purchase an Xbox 360, the Premium specifically, but being the cheap person I am , I'm looking for a adequate deal on ebay, during my search I began to wonder, "If I purchase a 360 on Ebay and the 3 rings of doom appear, do I need a validation of purchase, such as a receipt, in order for Microsoft to fix it? Or do I just have to register the 360 on the appropriate website?"
Any insight is appreciated.

One more question comes to mind concerning my purchase of an Xbox 360, when buying the Premium model should I be concerned on whether or not it contains an HDMI port or not, or is the difference in visual performance between an HD component signal and HDMI signal so minute that I need not worry. I'm definetly looking forward to some Bioshock.
Any input is appreciated.

I'd heavily advise against buying a regular 360, especially on eBay. I have a friend who had to deal with the dreaded ring of light the first day of summer. Sent it in and got it back in about 2 months. Claimed to be brand new. The problem happens again within the next hour. Unfortunately hes gonna go the whole summer without any games now which is a bummer. I'd recommend pinching your pennies and getting an elite.

Remember, you get what you pay for. That being said, if you buy a 360 off of Ebay that has been opened or modded then you are screwed. No free repair/XBL for you.Motoman wrote:Well, my situation unfolds like so:

Just something to think about!
