Is it even worth fixing Xboxs? Just buy one of the cheap new ones and use your old HD.

PS3 all day for me!!! Get at me!

MW3, Battlefield 3, and soo many others! Come get some!

Is it still under warranty, just send it back and get a new one?

Lol, I dont know a single old-school 360 that's under warranty still...

I bought it 32 days before the HDMI version came out (or was even announced), so RIGHT outside of the window to return it to get a free upgrade, really.

And Zagg - why would I buy a used version of the old-school style, that could possibly fail on me again? I'd just get a newer slim and call it good at that point...but seeing as I just bought a house, I'm TRYING to cut back my spending a bit.

That, and I'm handy, so I try to fix **** myself first.

I meant that brand new 360 arcades with HDMI were going for $150 with a $50 dollar rebate at Walmart not that long ago ... They've got no HD, but you can transfer the one you have to the new one.

edit: hmmm maybe they discontinued the Arcade as a quick search doesn't find me anything but "refurbished" ones ...

I can get a slim with Kinect for $250 or less right now. The Kinect itself almost makes up the difference.

But again, I'd be paying $100 for something that could fail on me again before the next XBox even comes out, if I did the Arcade method.

The Kinect head tracking is pretty fun with Forza 4! But you have to be sitting pretty close. It didn't work at all before I got my set up and was playing on the couch.

I'm not sure how you're going to find someone to do this cheaper than buying a new xbox.

run over it in your truck and call it a day.
