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
