My Xbox 360 (as some will know) has been on the blink for a while. It makes a horrible noise when turned on, when a game is loaded or a game is finished and it often crashes with 'Disc can not be read' errors. The warrenty runs out on Monday 2nd April (next monday). My original idea was to continue running this console until the new version of the console came out. Yesterday, my xbox refused to play any disc at all showing the disc cannot be read error. We have tryed to get through to Microsoft but they are unreachable (surprise, surprise) If or when i do get through, i will have just 4 days to return it before the warrenty is up. Also the next 2 weeks are the Easter Holiday - the weeks of rest before my exams. Therefore i want to play my 360 through this time. So heres my dilemma, do i;
a) Contact Microsoft and hope that they will take the console back with that ammount of warrenty period left. Doing this will result in my console being away for most of the Easter
b) Buy an Xbox 360 Core and switch across my HDD but this will cost me a minimum of £194 and i wont be able to get an Elite as i will spend that money. Also my HDD is already full (less than a Gb left) so i will need to buy the 120gb (£170) HDD at a later date. This option will cost around £370 - more than the Elite (prob)
c) Wait until the Elite is released (could be a while) and buy one of these with the massive hard drive as my current HDD is already full.
ahhh my head hurts so please help me...
