They might still repair it compo, ring microsoft and see what they say, my old one wasnt under warranty when it packed up and they sent me a refurb.

If they say no, say you will assasinate Bill Gates

Yes 3 year warranty on the RROD. If your 360 is out of warranty then there is a place on commercial road apparently that will do it for £30.

I thought Microsoft repaired this issue no matter the age as they were aware of the fault at manufacture. I'd contact them first. Mine was nearly 2 years old when it happened, and they fixed it for me.

Mine was over 3 years old but registered it with the website and they arranged for it to be picked up and sent to Germany, couldnt fix it so sent me another one! and Free xbox live for a month!

I had the same problem a year or so ago.  They replaced xbox for free.

I mainly use my xbox to play online, and the xbox live experience is second to none.  Have played on my mates PS3 and most of the games were laggy and found it difficult to join many games.

Only good thing about PS3 is the blue ray player but meh
