    With countless threads made about this already, Xtravision are supposed to have the best deal.

    Eh...

    Its still under warranty mate? Why replace it, when you could probably get M$ to refurb it completely?

    IIRC launch was Dec 2005? All retailers in ROI have 2yr standard warranty.

    Dont give up hope. Sure refurb it anyhow, and sell it on if you dont want it.

    All you need is a Core system so. Last I heard, Harvey Norman had the best deal (core). That was a while ago though.

    Surely rather than chucking it out you could try some of the well known internet fixes (remove the X-Clamps etc.)

    I'd personally go for a new and unused 360, you'll get a 2 year
    warranty with it plus you have no idea of how a previous owner
    looked after theirs. (The could have traded it in just as they
    thought it was about to get the 3 rings of death).

    If your buying a replacement console anyway then why go for another premium, just take the hard drive off your existing one and get a core as the replacement and it will save you the bother of copying all your data across, or losing it.
