Xbox - Red Ring of Death

So y'all would invest the $99 in a new one, instead of repairing this one? It was bought in Sept of '07. I don't want to send it off, pay, and then have it screw up again. ucla695 - not sure if it's old or new 360.

I would definately spend the $99 towards the newer version.

That's the older model. MSFT redesigned the new ones and the RROD shouldn't be a problem. ymmv.

I had the old model PS3 and got the yellow light of death. Instead of repairing it, I put the money toward the PS3 slim and save myself the trouble. I also bought the warranty from Best Buy for peace of mind.

I bought a refurb from Gamestop when my niece's went to crap. It was $100 and when I bought it, it came with a free 2 year service plan.

She just plugged her HD in and it worked without a problem...

I have had mine repaired twice. First time they sent me a new one and the second they sent me a refurb. Hopefully, this one will last a while.
