    Why would you want to do that?

    If it is out of warranty you pay $99 for another year and a box that works, including shipping both ways... you pay some guy to fix it, you erase any chance of getting it fixed by Microsoft, EVER, and run the risk of him bricking your console... not even worth considering.

    well, what i did when mine broke was sell it because i just wasn't going to go refurb, and i got $210 for a broken box. every single person that i know who has bought a 360 has had to send it in to get fixed. about half of those people had their replacement box break within a few months.

    isn't it about time this stops?

    I'm on my launch system still... it has been acting up and that's why I know about the repair process now.

    Good luck getting $200 for a broken box these days... lucky if you get $100

    Me Too. I've been waiting for mine to break for about 6 months.

    I had the 3 flashing red lights, called Microsoft who told me it would take 6 weeks for them to do whatever they needed to do, they shipped me a box to send my X Box to them, they sent me a brand new X Box that I recieved in less than 2 weeks. This was about a month ago. It was about as painless of a process there is that involves having to send something away for repair.
    Once in a while you can get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    How do you know it was new and not a refurb? 90% of the people i know with 360s have to send them in and 90% of them say it is a bullshit process. Most of them get refurbs back.

    They sent a letter back with it saying (paraphrasing) "To get you back to enjoying your X Box sooner we sent you a brand new one" If they meant just brand new to me I don't know, but the new one seems to work fine. I don't know how you know its a refurb, but I was pleasantly suprised at how easy the process was of getting a replacement.
