My xbox broke...again!!!?

After the first time it's sent in, Xbox sends you a "coffin" by 2nd Day Air, to speed up the process, that way instead of 6 weeks, it'll take MAYBE a week. Also, you get a month of Xbox LIVE Gold free!

Since both your 1-yr and 3-yr warranty restarts with every new console, it'll never cost you a cent to send it in!

You could save up for a PS3, or you could wait a week, and get a new 360 for FREE!

The amount of xbox 360's you return and receive will not guarantee that you will never see those red rings again. Although, with a newer system you are much less likely, since the problem has been officially recognized, newer systems now have better heat syncs. Plus there is a 3 year warranty where the red rings are involved, so even though its frustrating to have to wait the 2-3 weeks, especially for two or more times, it does not have to be paid for.

As for the PS3, this is totally up to you (obviously). It depends on many things, such as, are you interested in it, or is it just a quick fix solution for not having to send in your xbox? You should determine what each system can offer, and which you would be satisfied with.

Yes, it will probably happen again. My boyfriend has had non-stop issues with his, and he finally broke down and bought a membership to a site that has repair videos so he could learn to fix it himself. It's broken once since then and he fixed it and was back up and running later that evening. You can see some reviews of repair sites here:

Hope that helps! Xbox360's may have great games, but they can be so irritating!
