if u get the RROD u can send it in for free, as many times as u need to bc it is a hardware failure.
so its free.

Yeah man, you get a brand new one usually too, i did. After my xbox hardware failing and being past that warranty, then i just turned it on to see if it would work and BAM RROD and i got it warrantied. Shits for 3 years, took like less than two weeks to get ti back.

ya you can get a brand new one but why not try to use the towel trick.. because it usually takes a while to get your new one if you do send it in
