    Have MS said they will not fix it ? See other threads at the minute, call MS and ask them if they will fix it and see what they say they have done it for me before.

    Truthfully giving Microsoft a ring first is your best bet, just on the off chance they they will fix it

    Use the towel trick on it and sell it!

    Not a nice thing to do though.

    Do not listen to this guy dont do that do you relly want some one comeing back to you after it breaks again for them after 30 min or so what dash is on it do you no ?

    You will be able to sell it on adverts as is i would even buy it pending on what dash it is at or you could fix it but not with the towel there are loads of guides on how to do it.

    how much would it be worth to you then ?

    I half thinking of buying new xbox that's why I'm not to bothered about this !! :)

    An RROD console is worth around €40. If it was JTAGable it'd be worth maybe €65-70.

    JTAGable as in Manufacturing Date earlier than June 2009 and you've not connected it to live or played a game released after August 2009 (so you wouldn't be forced to update the dashboard version to 8955, rendering the JTAG useless).

    its not JTAGable then !!

    thats just for the console then ?

    what about with , controller and leads

    Around €50. People buying RROD consoles probably have enough leads/controllers to do them so they wouldn't increase the value by much.

    Sorry, did not expect anyone to take me seriously


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 484 ✭✭Blink182rock


    oo the bother !! :)

    anyone here want to buy it :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,361 ✭✭✭VonLuck


    One thing I wonder is where you can sell 360's with RRoD? I'm thinking of selling mine. It RRoD once already and was repaired by microsoft and it red ringed again a while ago. Do any stores buy RRoD consoles?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 329 ✭✭EasyBoy1974


    Any1 know what my JTAGed console is worth now that it has RROD'd?
