my xbox 360 recently got the red ring of death and it is outside of the warranty period. so i have had it a long time now and i am wondering if i should buy a new elite because they are supposedly more reliable or pay to have xbox repair it? what do you guys think?
i dont desperately need this i have like umm 3 xboxs one works like a charm one is completley destroyd "cuz i attempted to repair it" and one is just broke but i used the towel trick on it.
i want this cause im making a boosting service in halo 3 and cod4 "dont hate : )" and i want to use this 360 and then boost on the other one….so yes i need a xbox 360 repair service that will do it under 3 weeks and will repair towel tricks…i dont desperatly need this so if your just gonna blam at me then please click Alt+f4 now 
i dont have a warranty DURRRRRR
I sent my broken xbox 360 (3 red rings) to be repaired under warranty. i sent it off about 2 weeks ago, and the repair status on the website is still "waiting for arrival at repair facility". ive heard about this happening due to that they dont update it very often, and i sent it away during the xmas holiday season but it said 2 – 3 weeks and its coming up on 3 weeks. what is the likelihood that it has been lost in postage, or when can i expect it to be back?
also i live in sydney in australia, and sent it reply paid to some address in chullora.
360 never plays for more than a few minutes before freezing, sometimes gets 3 rings, sometimes doesn’t even load the opening logo. One time I got it to the menu and i kept it there for a several minutes before trying to load a game. It was my friend’s who had it since 2006, was playing Infinite Discovery earlier this year when it froze maybe 10 minutes into the game and now does it on every game he tries. He got a new one and told me I could have it if I could find a way to fix it. I understand that Microsoft will fix for free with red rings if it is under warranty (which I do not know if it is, no receipt) and will charge 100 if it is not (which i don’t mind paying for a whole xbox) My only concern is I want to be guaranteed they fix it and don’t just charge 100 for diagnostics and say well we cant fix it screw you. Also, if they fix it, do they extend the warranty? Example: My wii disc drive was making a grinding noise, i sent to Nintendo who fixed for out of warranty but then gave me a 1 year warranty on it after the fix. Does Microsoft do anything similar, does anyone know if there is a way to fix it without them. BTW power brick glows green, it never indicates orange or red problems. And if I do have to pay for it, will i get a warranty on the fix that it will not continue to mess up and I be out 0 for nothing? Please help, thank you!
