New CONSOLE!!!!! .....advice.

[migo]

I bought a used 360 from gamestop, and i paid 20 bucks for the 1 year warranty. Chances are, if you do this, you'll be able to get a console that will last you somewhere between 7 months to a year. and there are certain... circumstances that can take place, which would make your console only last 11 months so that you could renew your warranty and get another xbox.

Do you get to pay another $20 to have another 1 year warranty on the replacement Xbox?

my xbox is on the fritz too. try turning it on to see if there is a specific problem with it, mine just needs new thermal gel and screws, im ordering the stuff for $20.

as opposed to $130 for a new arcade system

Helen died today....

My friends Aaron and Frank came over this weekend for some gaming fun! We played tons of games. Mostly on Aarons 360. Frank went to put borderlands into Helen, but when he turned her on, bum bum buuuum! 3 little red death slices.

I bought Helen January of 2006, making her 4 [sup]1/2[/sup] years old at the time of death. She was a core system or "arcade". Never hiccup'd, never crashed, never ringed a disc, healthy as an ox... or so i thought.

I have quite a few games just over 2 dozen i think... plus all the arcade games i bought over the years.

So my question is... now that Helen is dead and her life insurance has expired. Whatever shall i do? Do i get a 360 slim? A used older version? What say you.

She's not even cold yet!

I'd go for a new console unless the used one is significantly cheaper

Trade it all in and get a PS3 and accept your loss. You will be the winner in the end

Just don't put it on the floor. Dust in the fan killed my first one, so sit it up on the box, if you choose to get one.
