You should probably get an Xbox 360 elite,or a Xbox 360 arcade.

Thanx. How do a person open a xbox360 to see the inside i can't find any screws.

1) You probably shouldn't open it. If you bought the 360 within the last 3 years it's still under warranty.

2) There aren't any screws in the outer 360 case, there are a series of clips that need to be popped out. Some of them are only accessible through the vent holes on the sides, which you need to stick something tiny through, then there are some on the back.

Wait a minute a 3 year warranty i have to check that out my xbox 360 is two years old. Thanx for the advice. The big problem i have now if they don't swap me for a new one where can a person go to fix it. Where would you go to fix a console in your country?

There are a few places that can work with 360s, but its just so much less of a hassle to go through Microsoft (see also: cheaper).

As long as you bought it new, through a store, and so on, your warranty should be fine if its within the 3 years.

Make sure you contact Microsoft before trying to take your 360 to anyone else to fix it, cause that'll void your warranty instantly.

Yeah, man. All 360's come with a standard 3 year RRoD warranty. If you go to xbox.com and go through the customer support stuff, you should be able to find a page where you can type in the serial number of your 360 and it'll tell you if you're eligible for it.

Just make sure you don't take it apart or mess with it at ALL, because that voids your warranty.

Would this be related to RROD?I put GOW in the disc tray,but it said:To play this game,please insert it in a Xbox 360 console.Below that,it said the same thing but in Chinese,Etc.I turned it off then back on and it stopped.

I found a site that tells you how to disassemble your xbox360.http://www.llamma.com/xbox360/repair...isassembly.htm. But you need special tools. There other stuff to help with the red ring problem and cd troubles.
