Re: [360] what to do with RRoD 360? thanks ztmike. i should i have stated that i don't want to bother fixing it because it'll probably rrod again. i also replaced it with jasper elite. i want to get rid of it but i'm not sure which method (trading in to gamestop, ebay, etc) will give me the most money back. |

1 edit | I went to Gamestop yesterday to get some gamecube games to play on the Wii.
Anyways, there was a father and son who are returning their 3rd Xbox360 (refurbished from gamestop). From what the Dad said , this is the 3rd system from gamestop within in past 2 weeks that crapped out on them.
The father asked " Don't you guys test these systems before selling them"?
The kid behind the counter was stammering and was like " I guess we don't".
The Dad got his $ back and was off to get a new xbox360 from toys r us (as he didn't want to deal with gamestop anymore).
I don't blame him but they seem to be the only whore in town for used games / accessories.

I've sold my broken console to Gamestop. |
|
| do you remember how much they gave you for it? i called them last week and they said the trade in price for that week was $30, i guess the price can change every week. all they need is the console, power supply, av cords and 1 wireless controller. they don't need the 20gb hd. |

The Gamestop here is really picky, about the condition of the stuff they buy. I was not aware they would accept a broken console or anything of that matter.
I'll have to call them and ask them about it sometime.
It would seem to me that if the console is RROD and out of warranty that they wouldn't want to eat the cost of having it repaired..

| when i called gamestop last week i told them mine had the rrod and was outside of the 3 year warranty and they said they would give me $30 for it as long as i also included the power supply, av cords and the wireless controller, they confirmed over the phone that they did not need the 20gb hard drive. i asked about this since i'm currently using mine in my new elite and have not yet needed to use the 120gb hd that it came with. |

It's the luck of the draw with gamestops, I've been to really great ones and a few that I've never visited again, the guys at mine tested mine even after I told them it was rrod.
This is my thinking on them buying the rrod ones is that they probably just resell them back to MS as spare parts for a tiny profit.

Well, one of the Gamestops here sells the power supply alone for $39.99. Wireless controller probably goes for $25.00 depending on condition.
So, the RRoD console is gravy after that. |
