cyburg Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 I have one that I do not use anymore. I am sure we can make some kind of exchange. Plus I will throw in all the games I have for it. I play my ps3 COD plus wii. Let me know if your interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gameplayer Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Had the same problem last year on a 360. They fixed it for $100.00 and they gave me another warranty with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will_M Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I'm on my 6th Xbox. No exaggeration whatsoever. 1st one: Broken when I got it home from the store. 2nd one: Red Ring of death about six months later 3rd one: Red Ring of death a year and a few months after that. 4th one: This is the one Microsoft sent me to replace #3. Fed-Ex "lost" it during return shipment from repair. 5th one: After calling Microsoft and Fed-Ex, who both said "it's the other guy's fault" I got Microsoft to replace it. This one gets the R.R.O.D. about eight months or so ago. 6th one: Still going, knock on wood. It'll cost around $150 all told. If it's relatively new, just call and give them a hard time for as long as you can until they cave and offer to fix it for free. Tell them Will sent you. They'll know who you're talking about.

Lanzo Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 (edited) I'm on my 6th Xbox.

IF they fix it for free, which is highly unlikely, you're going to end up waiting a while for the travel time of the consoles going back and forth. Take the bad one to a Gamestop and trade it in towards an Elite. I think they give you 70 bucks for the one that needs refurbed. I'm on my third 360...but I got lucky and ended up getting a used Elite while I was at Gamestop. I've had my Elite (the black one) forever and have never had any issues with it. I heard a long time ago that the white ones are notorious (I've had two) but they fixed all the buggy issues with the Elite's. I've never heard of anyone having any issues with an Elite system. --Lanzo E.T.A. Make sure they don't take you'rehard drive. They should offer it back to you when you trade it in, but make sure! Maybe you'll get lucky like I did and they'll have a Elite w/o a hard drive you can trade for. Edited July 25, 2010 by Lanzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
