My son has had an Xbox 360. It was just replaced by MS. Red Ring of Death, again... He has an auxiliary cooler for it.
He is afraid of it failing a 3rd time, and wants to go see what Gamestop would give him as a trade-In. Even before sending it back for repair/replacement, he was so disappointed with it failing. In addition to two red rings, he had a power supply fail.
When it is working, it is a great game console. Graphics are awesome. He has about 10 games(mostly Halo, Call of Duty).
I do not want him to trade it in; he has traded games before and I thought it was worth than trading a used car in. If he sells it, I think he would do better on Craigslist or Ebay.
He got a used Playstation-2 and a few games for cheap. He used that a little while his Xbox was broken. I thought the Xbox 360 was a nicer platform, albeit the Xbox-360 should be compared to a Playstation-3.
I think he should just keep the Xbox-360. I am a little hesitant myself though; Microsoft has replaced the consoles but they have had continuing issues. How would we know if the latest version is finally up to snuff?
What to do, what to do?
Any thoughts from the FF gaming folks?
