what would you do, buy new or send in?

Ok so my xbox 360 pro died :( The video card is messed up and isnt showing anything on my screen etc.

i called M*soft and they said since it wasnt the RROD i had to pay $99 dollars and send it in to get repaired. (my xbox now doesnt have an hdmi port)

so i was thinking, why not just go buy an arcade for $199 and just put my HD on it and be good to go? plus i will get the HDMI port, which is awesome cuz i just got a 46' LCD HDTv :)

Does that sound smart or should i send it in and wait?

thx for the help!

I would definitely go with the arcade and get the warranty as opposed to sending in yours and getting a refurb.MsCortana

Forget Xboxlive being down for a day, your down for long time my friend

buy a arcade swap it with your broken one, said it was broken and get your money back, you win both ways. Wezker619

Why are you quoting yourself? Not getting any attention?

Yeah my Elite that i bought on the day they came to replace my launch pro that wasnt reading discs red ringed yesterday, but it only red ringed like once every 2-3 times i turned the system, but it would freeze on ANY game i played after 5 mins, called MS they said IF they got the red rings when they recieve it theyd fix it for free, but if not then id have to pay 99 bux, so i said screw it and went and bought the arcade system and threw my hard drive and have no problems whatsoever now, but still MS makes me very angry with their repair service........

Anyway yeah id just spend the extra 100 bux get a new system with warranty and cut your losses like me

If you end up buying whatever new, get that "insurance plan" or whatever it's called from BestBuy, Circuit City, ... From personal experience, it was the best investment ever. When my Xbox RRODed it took me an hour (including driving to the store and back) to get a brand new one. I was sorta scared that they have a "pool" of refurbs for exchanges like that one, but dude went straight to the shelf and picked up brand new one (just swapped the hdd for my old one). Best thing was that I got newer model with HDMI which my old one didn't have. I think it's around $30 these days for 2 years.
