refurbished 360. new 360. buy a used system online, just forget about it, wait till next system since im only interested in 1 game

send it to me and ill reflow it for you for free. I fix E74's all the time. But ewww@ them quick fixes you did. I tell everyone to stay away from them xclamp fixes. Its not the xclamps that cause the red ring,its the cheap ass lead free solder used under the GPU. a good reflow should last you til the 720 drops.

Heres what you do, get a pan of rice. Make sure the rice gets in all the nooks and crannies of the 360. then WRAP it with saran wrap. Next make sure to put it in the oven at 150 degrees for 20 mins. Just set it and forget it.















BAM! After them 20 mins is up youll have a reflowed Xbox. fukka soldering iron and all that shyt.

who the hell uses a solder iron to reflow? and what you're saying is just plain out dumb. Might as well warp it with a torch

I would get it working well enough to trade it in and dump it for a slim.

you need a couple of really good pussies to keep you busy when GTA 5 will be released and you won't be able to play it :mjpls:

You sound like you don't have a PS3...buy that system to possibly get all the exclusives you missed.

You might as well since GTA V is the ONLY game you want...and will be out on both. Might as well have a console with options to play things you missed.
