Cheapest 360 Arcade

[SilverPaw750]

Well, my 360 just RRoD...just barely out of warranty. Just got off the phone with Microsoft, and I see no need to send it into them for a costly repair - not even sure if I can, the guy kepy saying something about my repair contract being expired or something. So I guess my only other option is to pick up a 360 arcade and slap my hard drive on it. Where's the cheapest I can get one? Preferably new - aren't the newer ones less prone to RRoD?

X-Clamp Fix, search it on Youtube

My question with the fixes is...how permanent are they?

No matter what anybody else tells you, once you get an RROD, the second one will surely come. So, get yourself a new machine.

Ergh, that's what I was afriad of. Do you have personal experience with that?

I CERTAINLY do. On an Elite sent back to Microsoft for repair. RRODed a few months later, just outside of warranty.

It's too bad this just happened with that Walmart sale a couple weeks back. not sure if you followed it but it was MSRP of $200 with a $100 GC. It's really was like a console for $100 since I do groceries there anyways. I thought that was a smoking deal.

Not sure, but the second I got my 360 it got RRoD, i ordered a few things for the fix(came to like $10 on ebay), took me a few hours to fix it.

It's still running now, fan isn't as loud as it used to be either. It's been like a month and a half now since I've fixed it, beats the hell out of buying a new one.

You can always search on Youtube for tutorials explaining how to do the fix, it's pretty easy.
