Is my XBOX authentic, or altered/refurbished?

Question

What can/should I look at to check if the XBOX 360 Elite I purchased online is really in it's original condition? I imagine the hard drive would be the most likely part to be messed with, but what else? Also, is there somewhere I can take it that will check it out free or cheap?

Answer 1

Well check the hard drive and if there is anything saved in it. Check if the packaging is all there (ex: manuals). Well I have no idea where you can take it for a free diagnostic. Maybe GS or Eb games.

Answer 2

Well, you can look on the chassis of the video game system, if it is scratched and such it is probably used.  As well if there are stuff already on the HDD then you know that it is not in original condition.

Answer 3

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... idk?

Answer 4

they did not tell were you bought it? It usually says, new or used. But I don't think there is a way to find out. Unless someone downloaded something that's not originally on there. By the way my 360 came with a couple of demo's as do most new ones
