warranty.

unless Amazon specifically offers the same warranty then you are better off buying new as the difference is likely only about $50 or so. Of course one can buy a Square Trade 3-yr warranty with accidental damage to go with the refurb so it's a crap-shoot.

I have yet to find an item in the Amazon Warehouse which really when you break it down is any great savings. You might be better off hunting on eBay and grabbing the same Square Trade warranty, usually for less than the cost through Amazon, over on eBay. I had a chance at a gen 2 DX over on eBay for $225 but passed deciding I wanted the Pearl screen in the DXG. Still with the 3-yr Square Trade accident coverage warranty it would have been about $300 which is $30 cheaper than new from Amazon but with a much better warranty.

BTW, the Square Trade warranties typically also cover international buyers but make sure to confirm before taking the leap.
