Got e74 error,need help

rejkin

Just got the e74 error on my xbox right when I started playing Alan Wake :mad:
Anyway,does anyone know how I go about getting this fixed?
Should I get it fixed by microsoft or is there a local place in Dublin that can do it for cheaper or quicker?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

I just rang the xbox support and they said my console is out of warranty by a month so it would cost me 110euro to get it fixed. Waste of money getting it fixed at that price. Anywhere local that I can get it fixed?
