Why You Shouldn't Send Your Console To The Factory?

You would think since you payed so much money for your Xbox 360 console that Microsoft would have a simple solution for the red ring of death, that's not the case. Sending the console to the factory to get it repaired might not be the best option. There are several reasons why we don't recommend sending your Xbox 360 to the factory.

List of some cons:

• Waiting Time Is 4-6 Weeks
• Costs $140+ W/O Warranty To Fix
• You May Not Get Your Original Console Back
• Risk Hard Drive, Memory Card, and Controllers Being Lost

Waiting 4-6 weeks for your console to be fixed is a long time considering how much you payed for it. On top of that, if you are out of the warranty you will have to pay an additional $140 to fix the red ring of death. You might not get your Xbox 360 back, they will send you a refurbished one. So, if you leave your hard drive inside your Xbox all your saved data will be lost. Looking at all the risks involved, we do not recommend you sending your Xbox 360 to the factory.
