If its a new launch, probably not. Later on they will. Fix busted ones and ship you those as replacements.

Isn't a refurb a fixed busted one? I think you're both saying the same thing.

Pretty much. If they can fix Prince Planet's 360 it'll eventually be shipped out to someone else that has theirs die or whatever. I think all they do is confirm that it's fucked and then ship out a replacement, like the circle of life. Only with 360s. And God doesn't accept abortions for trade-ins.

Hi there, and thanks for the offer. Actually i tuned off WiiConnect24, played Zelda for 3 hours continuous and not a hiccup

*phew*

I'm in Dubai.

and why would it catch fire,step down converter are made for that. I have been using them since i bought my U.S Sega Genesis back in the days. And yes all my systems are U.S systems since i can't stand waiting for the PAL releases.

ok. I figured you knew what you were doing, but it was worth asking.
