well if you got RROD (Red rings of death)on your xbox 360 ,Would you buy another xbox 360? or just leave it?

A few days ago i was playing MW2 ( i love that game) then my xbox 360 froze . So i decided to reboot it . I booted it back up. then 3 rings pop up on the console... RED RINGS OF DEATH!!!

My dad said he will buy another xbox 360 someday....
do you think he should buy it or give up? (it's been the 2nd xbox 360 we have gone thru all of those had RROD)

If I had the warranty, I'd send it back to Microsoft. If not, I might buy another... I'd get a PS3, if I bought more then 2 360s already, due to RROD.

I'm going to get a new xbox because I have too many games not to get a new one. This time I am taping the receipt to the bottom of it. I lost the last one.

@ OP

If you have the RROD you can send in your 360 to get fixed to microsoft for free whether you have the warranty or not. If they can't fix it and if you never opened it they'll give you a brand spankin now one. All you have to pay for is the shipping there, they will pay to ship it back to you.

I would keep it because my dad has a friend who fixes them.It's kinda funny though because my dad has gangster connections.All my sister's friends say that she can't park behind this restraunt or here car will get toed.My dad's like I know the owner you can park there.Oh I got a buddy that does this that fixes that.It gets annoying after awhile.

If my 360 got the RROD and Microsoft wouldn't repair it I'd most likely buy a PS3. It's one thing for the console to screw up, but it's another thing to recieve bad customer service. Luckily, Microsoft is still repairing systems that get the RROD.

The way I see it is that I spent $300 on their console, so they need to do a lot more than most companies already do to keep it running.
