Obviously, I haven't had any luck, but I came across this brilliant plan while doing a google searce: buy a broken (RROD) X-box 360, and send it in for Microsoft to repair. However, in comes the issue of the warranty sticker. Most likely, it would be broken, unless I buy from an inexperienced seller who doesn't really know what they're doing.
So, do you think I could get away with sending in a X-box 360 with a broken warranty sticker?
It's worth a try, buying a broken 360 and paying for shipping to get it repaired would be cheaper than just getting a new one.
No, its the first thing they check. And they have their ways of finding out.
I'll admit, it's actually a brilliant plan...but as Blaziken pointed out, it has holes inside it. So you might have to change your brilliant plan a little.
