Is it still under warranty, just send it back and get a new one?

Lol, I dont know a single old-school 360 that's under warranty still...

I bought it 32 days before the HDMI version came out (or was even announced), so RIGHT outside of the window to return it to get a free upgrade, really.

And Zagg - why would I buy a used version of the old-school style, that could possibly fail on me again? I'd just get a newer slim and call it good at that point...but seeing as I just bought a house, I'm TRYING to cut back my spending a bit.

That, and I'm handy, so I try to fix **** myself first.

I meant that brand new 360 arcades with HDMI were going for $150 with a $50 dollar rebate at Walmart not that long ago ... They've got no HD, but you can transfer the one you have to the new one.

edit: hmmm maybe they discontinued the Arcade as a quick search doesn't find me anything but "refurbished" ones ...

I can get a slim with Kinect for $250 or less right now. The Kinect itself almost makes up the difference.

But again, I'd be paying $100 for something that could fail on me again before the next XBox even comes out, if I did the Arcade method.
