Are the refurbisheded ones good??? Or should I buy with new?

I take a different point of view than most of the other responders. I would NEVER buy a refurb as my primary computer, but if you're looking at a system for gaming or music, then a refurb is fine. I do agree, though, to stick with a manufacturer-refurbed unit.

That depends on who did the refurb. If was a factory job, you're probably all right, but make sre you get at least a six month warranty. If it's not a factory refurb or doesn't have a warranty, save yourself some money and buy a new one. Less trouble and hassle in the long run!

As far as I know, it is brand new (refurbished in the factory), but it does not have the full warranty. I got one in July and it`s working perfectly. I have other experiences with refurbished equipment and never had any problem. Maybe it`s interesting to contract a third-party warranty just as an addiitonal protection.

J&R; are really selling them half off... maybe it is a refurbished unit or with cosmetic damage, I'm not sure. I paid $600 for mine from Amazon itself and it was worth every penny.

I just bought one for $39 from Luuki_Luuki and it is in perfect condition. It was not sold as new, but used. The $109 one is in the new category but if you read the description, it sure sounds like a used one. Don't pay twice as much for a used phone from a seller that is bending the rules. I bought the $39 "used" one and it is in perfect condition. It came in a box labeled refurbished but if you had told me it was new, I would have believed you.

If it's new, u have no problem... U certainly enjoy it... But used u wil regret as I used a used one, which looked like new just for a week

Yes..factory packed new. I believe if not it would state refurbished. And mine has been working great..

Brand new from factory. I think they have to market it as re-stocked, refurbished, etc...see note below from Darryle though, this is true.

Of course! These are refurbished not stolen. One bit of advice is to look for sellers with large volume AND high ratings. They are concerned about maintaining their business.

IN MY PERSONAL OPINION, refurbished is a bit better. Used you have no idea if everything works or if the computer has "issues". Refurbished means that a tech has gone through and made sure the computer is in working order. Neither are new but the gamble is better with refurbished and the cost is a lot less. Mine did come with a loose power wire but I knew enough to fix it. There is usually tech support for a refurbished one also.

They are 100% new if you pick the new one and not refurbished, they have both just pay attention to what you choose. It states new or refurbished if you look. Sony says 1 year warranty, have not used it so I cant tell you and I am nearly at the 1 year point now.

I don't know if I could give you any reassurance on that. The one I got was either refurbished or used, because it wasn't in the original packaging. Mine works fine, but I have a feeling quality might vary from order to order so the best advice I can offer you is familiarize yourself with the return policy, and look things over when you get it. Sorry I can't be more helpful than that. I hope you find what you're looking for.

refurbished is lots better. How much better depends on who refurbished it, but its always better.

I think If the refurbished has Warenty, it is a safer. But if not, you take the same risks. Hopefuly owner of used one is honest about the condition of the item.

Yes. I found no difference in the packaging between the refurbished and new.

From the description I read, if I recall, it's a refurb. Wish I had a more definitive answer for you. Feels and looks like brand new to me, and I believe that's probably all that matters. Testimony to the quality of the seller. I unequivocally recommend them. I believe the seller was psxpro and they have a limited warranty on it. They would also take it back if it didn't work out of the box.

The one I bought was sold as refurbished, but I don't know if that is true of all of them. It was in like new condition.

I got kinda screwed. I bought a used one for almost as much as a new one. The comuter broke in it or something. Would have cost me 80 $ to fix it. I don't recommend buying anything used. Unless its real cheap.
