    Want to keep my 120gb hard drive and plug it into a new xbox, can I just buy a regular xbox or do I need to buy another elite?

    Get in touch with Microsoft about an in warranty repair. Red Rings problem has 3 years warranty so they'd fix/replace it for free.

    Yeah, heard about that but there so many stories on the web about months of waiting to get your xbox back. I don't mind the wait but it's killing me to see my son sitting with his new halo wars game and the heart gone out of him, I'd gladly pay the money for a new one if it's not too dear.

    Months? Those are the horror stories, very few and far between from what I gather. I've sent two Xboxes back to Microsoft for repair (one mine, one other) and both times it took 7 days.

    Though I can understand where you're coming from, we ended up doing the same once, and kept the second one :)

    yeah, send it to microsoft. buy new one if you have to and keep the othe oner as it comes back or sell it on ebay or adverts.

    If you have warranty sticker on it do not give it for fixing to anyone else than Microsoft. Even if they will tell you that they can fix it in 5 hours, 1month - 6months later you'll have rrod back, but no warranty. my 2 cents (I'm fixing them myself)

    I got mine back in just over two weeks, although I had bought another replacement one by then anyway. When they then sent back a new replacement console I just donated that to the brother.
