I disagree with the thread title. RROD is a terrible thing for the 360. Some people have bought PS3's out of protest. Modifying your 360 by putting in a fan cooling system seems like a hassle.

It sounds like MS PR spin to me.


lol how does that sound like MS pr spin.

 

It is a hassle, but the repair kit on ebay costs 4 quid, a rrod 360 is 30 quid.

Soooo, if you had experience with computer components, you could get yourself a very cheap Xbox.

In that sense it is a good thing, but overall ofcourse the rrod is a bad thing.

selnor is trying to sell the idea that negative issue RROD can be turned into something positive. Providing you are willing to put the time and effort into modifying your XBox 360 by putting in a new fan cooling system.

 


 Yeah, for Selnor and people with the know how and time can get a 360 for a minimum price of about 35 pounds.

How is that a bad thing.

35 pounds for 360 sounds like a great offer. Just need some electronics experience and you are set.

BTW: You go to the effort of putting in a fan cooling system. Why not just put in a 360 mod chip in as well?

 

 Why is there always an idiotic poster. Leave the thread. I saved some money and thought it was cool. Thought I'd share the experience. Of course this wont be mainstream. Mut where the hell did me spinning this situation come from? It's a good idea if you can do it. So thats why I shared it. Jeez.
