You could trade it in.

I know EB Games trades broken systems for less credit...like half of the regular credit. Make sure to get a memory card 1st and save any files you can't live without! But i think they give nearly 50 bucks for the broken ones.

And hey Xboxes are only $150 now. That's a lot better than before! Rassum Frassum 300 smackers when i got mine....

My box has been making a humming noise and everything for about 4 to 6 months... It is nothing more than the HD acting up but if you want to do something about your system you can think about doing a mod if you want... It isn't really leagel but you can find the info on the net... That would be one option besides trading it in... and if it is just humming it is still working and you can get full credit for the box at EB or GameStop... So there are about two options... Mod or Trade I think that would be it... Check into them and find out what you want to do.....

Time of death 8:30

My 2nd box is the new Halo edition. Its very sweet, the translucent green and black/silver xbox jewel is very cool. Plus the Halo 2 previews on my big screen tv is very nice. Get it.

Have to tried the universal method to repair a broken electronic device? Smack it! My Xbox stopped working one day, the DVD drive wouldn't spin the disk. I was paniking, then realized I forgot to hit it. Worked fine ever since.
