| If the warranty has expired and the 360 dies, it's a matter of fixing it yourself . Fixing a crappy coolingdesign won't be a problem for most enthousiasts and fixing broken BGA soldering wouldn't be a problem either. Too bad that the amount of 'entouhiasts' is probably extremely small compared to the amount of sold 360's. |

| Hm, that'd be a great deal of delicate soldering, not many tech enthusiasts could do that. Not to mention by the 3+ year mark the caps are usually showing signs of overheating and some would need replacing, would be plenty to replace from what I've heard. |

Fixing BGA soldering is just a matter of heating up the chip and press it firmly back on the board . | |

| 0,0001 % or less of all customers is crazy enough to give it a try, and only half will succeed. |
