Hi all.
I've had a Xbox 360 (fat 4 GB) for about 7 years....It's gone through 2 Red Rings but otherwise it's been fine until about two months ago where I've gotten the "Open Tray/Disk is Unreadable" error. After a few tries of resetting the system it would start playing. Eventually it was getting back to normal where it would boot up by powering on. Until today. Tried about 5 different games but I could never get it to start. I would never even get the game logo come on the menu.....just "Open Tray" after trying all day at random times I gave up. So I've been debating some options.
1.) Try one of those lens cleaner disks. Anyone have any experience with them?
2.) A new 360 system. Funds are kinda limited for me at the moment. (Saving for family vacation. Wife gave me the Death Stare when I asked to use the credit card..."You still have a Wii and a PSP....") I have $170 in credit at GS. I would love to get the Star Wars 360 but it's still at a high price) Kinect is not essential for me but I would like to get it cause I have a young daughter but I need a larger hard drive. I have about 15 360 games plus a few more on the hard drive. A bundle that liked nice for me was the Forza/Skyrim but even with my GS it's steep for me at the moment for $300.
3.) To hell with the 360! Go to Sony! If GS had the ACIII bundle for $240 at NewEgg right now I would go get that. I'm not tied down with Microsoft. I have Gold until the end of the year but I don't really play online with friends. I would love the GOW red system that is coming....but out of price range. But part of me would love to ship everything off to GS and see how much credit i can get and get a PS bundle. There are some Sony exclusives I would love to play. GOW/Uncharted/Last of US/Heavy Rain. I can't play FPS like Halo due to motion sickness anyways. I'm not sure how much my games/system/controllers will bring in but I can list em if anyone is interested.
I wish I had Amazon credit instead of GS cause I would love to wait for a Warehouse deal.
Any ideas/thoughts would be appreciated.
