Hello all,
So my XBOX 360 has RROD for the third time and quite frankly im getting sick of it, every time I send mine off for replacement/ repair, I am apparently sent a "new" console, yet a few months down the line, this crap happens again!.
I still want a 360 due to the amount of games I have for it.
But I have the following questions: -
Does the Elite offer better cooling?
Am I able to transfer stuff from one 360 HD to another?
Edit: - Nvm, quick google reveals it was an AV cable issue

what was the av issue?
jasper chipsets released since last xmas have been fine for me.. much more reliable than previous chipsets that were released!
The AV cable was lose in the back of the T.V is all, not sure how it happened.
I am considering going for an elite, its just whether I can transfer my saved games over and such

Your best waiting for the apparent revision coming later this year aren't you - CPU & GPU on one chip and Natal possibly built in, tee hee.

CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
My mate went through the same thing, complained like crazy for a few days then realised the AV cable wasn't plugged in, plonker ^^
Never had a RROD myself, have had several disc drives go though!
I have a transfer kit if you so wish to borrow it at some point.

May well take you up on this.
Are they cheap?

I got mine free from MS, I just rang them up and asked for one and they sent it out without question.
Some people have said that they aren't free anymore - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976183/ seems to confirm it.
As for the price, not a clue.
I believe it's a tenner.
Mines sat under my desk at work having just come back from repair friday afternoon
get a ps3
na seriously buy an elite like i did. been solid since i got it and comes with 3 years more warranty. my 20gb white 360 broke 6 times
If you can, its probabily best to wait for the new hardware revison, my guess is MS probabily have an xbox 360 (slim/lite) coming out soon that will have better cooling and be more power efficient. Maybe more details will emerge at e3
I fixed mine by getting a PS3
Specs:
Q6600 G0, Thermalright Ultra 120, ABIT IP35 PRO, 4GB Corsair DDR2, Trusty old Tagan 480u, BFG 8800 GTS 512, Samsung F1 750 GB.

Already have a PS3 although I prefer the 360 for Racing ames and the PS3 for FPS style games that arent on the PC

Have you got this weeks LOTTO numbers by any chance Mystic Meg?
