Xbox freezing

Well basically in like 05/06 I bought the xbox 360, used it a few times, according to emails in november 08 it got RROD and i got it repaired by msftPut it on again last week and keeps freezing like 5 minutes into a game.So basically can I sent it off for repair again (as its most likely overheated, again) Or won't they fix it as it's out of warranty (I remember something about RROD = they fix regardless of warranty, or atleast did when I got it repaired)

Thread moved by Oleh (Forum Moderator): From Technology discussion as I feel it's more suited here

i recently had 2 2006 xbox's die on me. they're not all that reliable with age. microsoft will charge you £60 flat-rate to fix an rrod on an out of warranty console (i know cause i tried it in august and the other week). if you want a replacement you can get an older xbox in game for £60 or you may aswell splash out and buy a new one with a new warranty.

waste of ******* money!!!!!

can't even register to their site their captcha is ****** useless *****

Anyways

spec me a new xbox 360!

I just have 2 of the old 2006 (according to mfr date) xbox's in house 1 is bros so no idea about new xbox's

So which one should I buy :P

Is this one of the latest xbox's?

Is there a better/newer one?

yeah thats the ones :D i have a 4gb but if yr a serious gamer (and play games through, i'm more of an online player) best to buy the 250gb. argos have a good deal where you get gears of war3 free which is a sweeeeet game hahaha.

gow is ****, rather not get it! :P

also can't edit above

I only really plan on using it for the xbox live

So shall I stick with the 4GB rather than the 250GB?

Last xbox had 60GB memory but no idea how much was actually used.

If you plan on downloading anything, you'll almost definitely need the 250GB.
I got one as soon it was released and it's brilliant - really quiet and small :)

Don't plan on downloading anything really afaik

Got sky box and Sky go on computer, so won't be using it

Only thing I can think that i'd need to download would be map packs?

Map packs are HUGEEEE now, On 4gb you will probably fit 3 or 4 map packs.

OT: I have had my Xbox 6 years, Original arcade, still running fine! :P

Is it possible to get a 4GB version then add a 250GB hdd later on?

If so where can you get a 250GB HDD :P

You can do that, by adding the HDD into the space avaliable. A mere £34.99

£35 HDD + £135 xbox 4GB may aswell get the 250GB version for 180 :P

Apparently can get it with fifa + gow3 for 180 from tesco.
