My 360 burned up

I have been going over every component on it and none of them had exceeded 105 degrees at the time of shutdown, that's well within the acceptable limits of the hardware.

Forza 3 comes out in 3 weeks, I am really tempted to go buy a new Arcade and put my Elite's hard drive in it and then either toss my Elite or keep it for parts (I may take the case off and put it on the Arcade, the black looks SO much better).

Just buy the Elite and be done with it. Or if your a COD fan, reserve the special edition 360 Modern Warfare editon with two controllers and the 320gig HDD.

I would change my pre-order to the special edition XBox, but money is too tight right now to drop $400 or whatever that thing costs. I'd rather get an Arcade, swap over my case and HDD, and be done with it. Forza 3 and the new GTA 4 expansion come out later this month and I don't intend to miss a moment of it

The PS3 has a nice price to it. No need to do all the mods to make it work good. I'm doing a test right now on mine. It's been on for a week now.
