No, this isn't really life advice, but it's advice needed nonetheless.

My 360s disc drive is done, nada, broken, pointless, etc. and my console is out of warranty. So, my options are either (a) repair it myself if possible, (b)Pay for the repair with Xbox Support © Get a new console.

Advice needed, go!

Repairing it yourself is most likely going to be the cheapest way to go.

Always the chance of getting banned from live with that one though. I would probably have to go with pay support to fix it, or see if you can find a good cheap old xbox(like the arcade is pretty cheap now since the slim is out, right?). Probably not to much more then sending it in.

Yeah, my local craigslist has an arcade system for sale for 140 right now with 2 games and a wireless controller. So, not too bad to pick one up used.

I fixed it lol. I just tilted it vertical and the disc drive made a noise like it snapped back into place and now no more issues.

You're a genius!

you could also find a fairly cheap hd dvd drive on ebay, it plays movies for sure, and i thought it played games too, but i never tried mine for that so im not sure...
