So I've known my Xbox was on its last legs for some time now and today it finally quit on me. The thing is, the only problem is the CD drive. Yes, it's a Thomson (blasted Thomson...) and of course it was the first piece of hardware to go. So I've got a bit of a dilemma. Should I retire my beloved Xbox to the shelf of forgotten and buy a shiny new one or should I try and get it repaired? Sigh…

I'm leaning towards getting a new one and hoping for a Samsung drive. Why spend $100 and a week of down time getting a four year old Xbox repaired when for $50 more I could just get a new one? Ugh, any thoughts/condolences are greatly appreciated.
