Xbox 360 ROD worth it ?


i just have noticed that a lot of Xbox 360 have that Ring of Death problem ...

but i found that a lot of ebayers are selling it at low prices (average of 40€)
and there is a repair kit for 16€ ...

... i just want to buy an Xbox 360 for the two months of summer holidays and then i may sell it ... Not interested to get a new one

is the repair kit really working ???

Might be worth a try but personally I wouldn't bother.

Maybe if I had experience the RROD with my xbox and tried to repair my own and it worked, I would look into buying other xbox' to repair them and sell them on. Just as I don't know how often the repair kit works I wouldn't risk it.

Why not get one of these:XBOX 360 XCLAMP REPAIR FIX RROD KIT E74 + THERMAL PASTE on eBay (end time 09-Mar-10 01:28:07 GMT)

And then get a cheap xbox.

If it doesn't work, you can get money back on the kit (which is only £3 anyway) and you can resell the xbox as faulty, so you should only lose ~£5 ebay fees.
