- I saw that bandied about on the ESPN chatter too. I am confused by the rumor. - TFox Jul 30, 12:29 4
  - It sounds like Ellsbury burned some bridges there with his comments. - David Jul 30, 12:33 3

  - Microsoft' -- nm - Tim Jul 30, 12:17 2
    - SFEK: Microsoft's xbox support website is remarkably detailed. -- nm - Tim Jul 30, 12:18 1
      - Yeah, I mean that mine would work fine and then I would go to change games and it would not work, and then 15 minutes later it would. - Black Rabbit Jul 30, 12:25
- But wait, that means they'll fix it now that you're getting red lights? -- nm - JaxSean Jul 30, 12:12 3
  - no, the RROD warranty extension only applies to a true RROD, with three red lights in a particular orientation -- nm - Beryllium Jul 30, 12:17 2
    - [deleted]
    - Yeah, the warranty is one year, magically extended to three years for RROD. -- nm - Tim Jul 30, 12:19

  - I leave my PS3 on all the so it does the folding thing. but I shut off the Xbox when I'm done. -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 12:21 5
    - National average electric bill for 24x7 PS3 folding would be $12.23/mo. -- (link) - oblique Jul 30, 12:24 3
      - I suspect it would cost less for Remlik. He's in a Nuclear state, isn't he? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 30, 12:25 2
        
        I don't think so. -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 12:28
        
        RTFA! - oblique Jul 30, 12:27
    - ayup -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 30, 12:21
  - Naw, that's probably okay. 360's (especially older ones) have ridiculously high failure rates. - Tim Jul 30, 12:16 1
    - i was lucky to get the rrod. - tRuMaN Jul 30, 12:16
- [deleted] 16
  - I've had it since Xmas 2007 so yeah, it's out of warranty for anything that's not RROD. This supposedly doesn't qualify for that. -- nm - Tim Jul 30, 12:15 15
    - That's what happened to us. I think it's $149 to fix. -- nm - David Jul 30, 12:16 14
      - at that rate, might as well buy a new one. yikes. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 30, 12:18 12
        
        Yup, you can buy a discounted Arcade for that much. -- nm - Inigo Jul 30, 12:19 9
        
        And I can just detatch the harddrive and put it on the new one, right -- nm - Tim Jul 30, 12:20 8
        
        Yup, keep in mind though that the new Slim Arcade is supposed to be coming out next month. - Inigo Jul 30, 12:23 1
        
        nice. Yeah, hold out for that. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 30, 12:24
        
        umm, i cannot remember. ask david, I think you have to do something to retrive your xbox account. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 30, 12:21 1
        
        The account itself transfers over, but you have to do a license transfer for some online content ... - Beryllium Jul 30, 12:23
        
        This is what we did but I've kept the old one in case there were ever a cheap way to fix it. I'd send it to Qale. -- nm - David Jul 30, 12:21 3
        
        if you send it tome I bet I can get it fixed for $50. I can check if you want. -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 12:22 2
        
        Yeah, please check. We had the same issue as Tim. -- nm - David Jul 30, 12:24 1
        
        I will on Saturday, I have to call him to fix a hard drive issue on a friends xbox. -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 12:28
        
        seriously. wow. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 30, 12:18 1
        
        pretty sure you can get an arcade for $199 (sometimes $149) and drop the old HD into it -- nm - Beryllium Jul 30, 12:19
      - Though there are some online sites that claim they can do it for $49. -- nm - David Jul 30, 12:16
