So exactly a week before modern warfare 2 comes out my xbox decides to shit itself after 2+ years. Any other time I would be cool with waiting 2-3 weeks for the repair, HOWEVER that's not an option right now. My xbox still has the warranty so I can send it in for free and get it fixed. This leaves me with two realistic options:

1) Send my xbox in and buy a new one at walmart or wherever for $250. When I get the fixed xbox I can just sell it online for $200ish. This will leave me with a brand new xbox with 3 year warranty for a little over $50.

2) Just fix it myself. I looked up guides online and it's pretty easy to do (I work a lot with electronics so I know my shit). I'm pretty confident I could do it with no problems. I fix pretty everything by myself, however a free warranty is obviously the safe choice.

What have other people done? I've heard stories of people buying xboxes and then returning them when they get theirs back, where can you return an xbox you used for a month (if I felt inclined to do such a thing)

I don't know if you have a K-Mart around, or if they are still around in general, but two years ago I bought a Wii, kept it for about 2 months and got bored with it, then returned it for a full refund.

So in other words, check out the return policy at some local stores and basically rent an xbox from them, then return it once yours gets fixed.

dude, i love playing xbox, and i guarantee i still spend more time outside than you, am better at sports, am healthier, and get more girls than you. go fuck yourself. there are like 18 hours of time to do stuff per day, what makes you think playing video games and doing other stuff are mutually exclusive?
I'm glad you have 18 hours of free time to do "stuff" per day, sure wish i did. But alas, I'm not a pubescent little boy looking to pick fights with anyone who disagrees with his narrow viewpoint on how one should go about living life.

To the thread creator: I'm sorry for cunting up this thread, not my intention. You asked for suggestions on what to do when your xbox broke and i said what popped into my head because it's what i did when mine broke. I'm better off for it now.
I'm certainly uncertain, at least I'm pretty sure I am.

i wasnt looking to get back into this, but this reply is completely illogical

nowhere did i mention 18 hours of free time. i said 18 hours to do things. that includes all types of things. for instance, i do a shitton of school work, hang out with friends, read, chase girls, play sports etc. sometimes at the end of the day (like midnight) ill smoke in my living room and play some xbox. the "narrow viewpoint" you mention can only refer to yours: that anyone who enjoys video games cannot possibly go outside/get fresh air/exercise blah blah blah. my entire point was that this is a narrow viewpoint, and completely baseless

not that it matters to anyone anymore but I fixed it and it's been running for over a half hour. I tightened the x clamps and put new and better thermal conductor on the chips so it should be good at least for a while.

saved the sticker too so warranty is still legit

I pretty sure you don't spend any time playing xbox or doing anything besides defending yourself on NS. I'm guessing you spend more than 18 hrs per day doing that though.

see this (and jumister's completely off the wall smoking comment. what the fuck?) is exactly what im talking about. i make a point that someone cant refute, so they reply with this^ garbage. is that seriously the best you can do? face it, youre just wrong about your claim about video games.

oh please. nevermind the fact that your post was NOT as innocent as youd like to paint it now, the fact that playing video games had a negative effect on your life only proves that youre lame if video games can affect you like that

pretty much all over. i fail to see how changing the subject or pretending not to understand when i'm obviously taking sarcastic shots at you is "refuting" anything. it's just you taking your bitching in a new direction when you can't say anything else on the subject.

so since i called you out on trying to prove yourself to a bunch of people on the internet, and you responded by trying to explain it away and prove yourself some more, i'd say you didn't refute shit, and instead just proved my point that you're an insecure bitch that gets off starting pointless fights in NSG...

you sure as hell better deliver on that never posting again business too. i'm already bored with you.

sucks about the red ring, but keep in mind that....modern warfare 2 is gonna be available for a long time. If you fuck up fixing it yourself, you're down an xbox. And even buying a new one, you're still losing $50 on top of paying for the game. All i'm saying is you could just be patient and wait that extra 2-3 weeks to get it fixed properly.

or, if you must, do the following...

go to wal-mart. Buy a new xbox. Go home, wait a day or two. Take new xbox out, use it as your own. Put old broken xbox into wal-mart box. Go to wal-mart and return it. You end up with a new xbox basically for free, and to those of you saying this is dishonest etc....well...i don't think wal-mart will particularly suffer from one such infraction.
