my xbox 360 is crapping out

This is why I have a Playstation 3

A lot of my friends have the 360 so changing systems at this point really isn't an option. I bought a 2 year replacement plan with my new one just to be safe.

smart plan

I have a friend who did the towel wrap trick on his XBox after he got the ring of death and it worked. From what I understand it re-solders something inside that becomes loose due to the heat. Might be worth a try but if you have a warranty then the best thing to do is send it back in. Heres a link just in case.

Yep, tried that. Didn't work for me.

Here's how you solve the problem:

1) Pitch the 360 out the nearest window.
2) Go to newegg.com and buy the components to build a kickass gaming PC.
3) Buy the better PC games or just emulate the PS3, 360, PS2, whatever else junk you feel like playing.
4) Relax.

Sorry, I tried getting into consoles and never could. To each his own, just not my thing I guess.

Thanks but like I said most of my friends have the 360 so changing systems isn't really an option at this point.

What are you asking for your old system after MS fixes it?

I haven't given it much thought. Maybe $200?

Well when you get it back and you are going to sell it, let me know we can discuss this over PM, but I would be interested in it.
