Your friends have had it, your co-workers have had it, and now you do too. The dreaded red rings of death on your Xbox 360. You thought you got one of the “good ones”. Guess not. What can you do about it now?<\/p>\n

The first option might be to go all out and buy a brand new xbox. After all, the prices have dropped, and it’s only $299 for a brand new Xbox. One of the best benefits of the new Xbox 360’s is the HDMI output, the older versions only had the HD Component cables which pretty much eliminates its coexistence with your cable box, so that you’re forced to decide between killing your friends in Halo 3 in high definition, or watching the Jaguars whoop up on the Titans in HD. <\/p>\n

Also the newer versions of the Xbox 360’s are coming out with larger hard drives. In fact the new version of the Xbox Basic that sells for $299 has a 60GB hard drive. That in and of itself is a good reason to “upgrade”. <\/p>\n

Another thing to consider about buying a new Xbox 360 is that they have redesigned some of the internal problems so that the newer versions “shouldn’t” overheat any longer. We’ll see if that ends up being the case. <\/p>\n

A second option might be to try to fix the 360 yourself. There are ebooks and video tutorials on how to fix the problem yourself. Of course if you don’t have any experience in electronics then you most likely should not undertake to fix the problem yourself. However with multiple message boards and forums dealing specifically with this issue, you should be able to get going. <\/p>\n

Third, and probably the safest bet is to send the console back to Microsoft. Just by calling them, they will send you a box to send the console in. It will cost roughly $140 to get Microsoft to make the repairs, however that’s still quite a bit less than buying a whole new system. <\/p>\n

Fourth, you could send it to an independent firm to fix it. These repairs run roughly $99 or more to get them fixed, although most of them at least have a 90 day warranty. It’s definitely an option to consider. <\/p>\n

There are plenty of choices to fix your ailing xbox 360. It depends on which choice you choose on what your results may be. It’s worth it though based upon the excellent quality of gaming we can get on the 360. Now if there were only a way to get a blueray drive on the 360.<\/p>\n
