    Xbox 360 Out of Warranty Repair Cost

    As the title says how much is an xbox 360 repair cost if it's out of warranty as my xbox keeps not wanting to read the disc's properly
    My options are
    1. Pay M$ to fix it

    2. Make it have the RROD and get it repaired free

    3. Buy just an xbox 360 console of ebay or a new one.

    So far i'm tempted with 2 but if 1 is on £20 or so i may pay them for it.

    I must admit, I thought it was somewhere around the £60 mark.

    I'd simply buy a new one (£129?) and use my existing hard drive if mine was to die outside of warranty.

    Buying a new ss tempting but this will sound stupid but i quite like the silver disc tray on my xbox so it would have to pro version.
    Plus you can buy just the console on ebay for about £70

    If you plan on buying second hand 360's, go to the highstreet shops like GAME or GAMESTATION.

    I'm not sure about prices as I write this but their pre-owned consoles come with a warranty so if it dies you are covered.

    If I remember correctly, RRoD is covered for 3 years now, for free. Other malfunctions are covered for a year but after that it's £60.

    Re: Xbox 360 Out of Warranty Repair Cost

    If it's out of warranty, have you considered getting a new drive from eBay or something like that?

    It wouldn't require much *serious* tinkering to swap out the old one. That said though, the only ones i could find were about £30 and needed US delivery which will be about £20.
