Never had an issue with my xbox so Im not certain on this... but usually any warranty is only good to the person who originally purchased the item.

I traded a friend my old psp for my 360 and still managed to get it serviced when it red ringed, just as long as it is still under warranty.

I think you have 3 years from the date it was registered andI'm not sure if you can re-register the xbox to you if the other guy already registered it. If microsoft tries to screw you over on it, you could always fix it yourself. There's fixes on the internet on how to do it. It cost around $5-$10 or so...

in case you do run into issues, might be a good idea if the other guy could send you the reciept for it as well if he has it.
