The XBox is out of warranty, annoyingly. Internet research seems to be telling me I can return it to Microsoft and in a couple of months they will send me a refurbished XBox for $140, so £86-ish (but I was looking at a US site - may be more in the UK). Or I can buy something which will talk me through how to fix it myself - apparently this is possible "even if you've never hung a picture" . Has anyone fixed it themselves? If I send it off to Microsoft is it just going to die again in a few months? This is the second time already that it's died - except the first time it was in warranty.
On the back of this, DCs want a Wii for Christmas - I'm sort of thinking we just abandon the XBox, flog the many games we have on Ebay and put the proceeds towards a Wii. Any advice? Many thanks.
