My condolences the death of a console is always tragic. Especially when you know that it was murdered by a game. I too know this feeling. I recently lost a beloved 360 to a crap fest named Risen. I am not saying that lightly either. The game was ripe with glitches, shitty performance, and locked up my console twenty times. It really got me when it threw a huge tantrum trying to block my from finishing the last boss battle in the game. I couldn't help myself five minutes away from completion, and I wasn't going to be denied so I kept rebooting every time I locked up. When that red ring came up, and I still hadn't beaten the game I was shaking with frustration.
What can you do. I went right out that day, bought a new top of the line 360, and shoved that hellish game into the new system. Yeah it locked up the new system a couple times, but I was able to work through it all. Only to get rewarded by perhaps the shittiest video game ending I have ever seen. Oh well you just have to look at it as inevitable if you are a real hardcore gamer. You will eventually run your console into the ground. Yeah a shitty game doesn't help matters, but that comes with the territory.
Speaking to repairing the console. You probably know that it is only a stop gap measure. You are only going to get a little borrowed time. Maybe a few hours, a couple days, or maybe a couple weeks at most. You just might be able to finish the game that has left the console terminal. Good Luck.
