If own an XBOX 360, you are definitely not alone! It's easily the most popular gaming system out there. Unfortunately, it can break and then you're faced with those scary 3 red lights lit up on your system. So what are your options to fix an XBOX?

There's a number of "do-it yourself" tips and stories floating around. Various people have come up with different techniques to repair a broken XBOX, but almost all of these are unsensible!

For example, somebody brought out "the towel trick". Apparently somebody thought that wrapping up your system in a bath towel would magically fix it! Naturally this is more likely to start a fire than repair your XBOX!

And unfortunately this silly trick isn't the only XBOX 360 repair myth out there - there's plenty more. Some gamers have actually attempted to break open the case and used a bonding tool to try to repair the problem. There's a lot of working parts in an XBOX, and breaking open the case is likely going to cause problems - don't try this!

Obviously, you also have the option of sending in your system to Microsoft and let them repair it, but this isn't a great alternative either. You will be without your your system for 4-8 weeks and you also have to pay $140 plus shipping to have it repaired. That's a long wait and a lot of money!

Many people think that the price Microsoft charges is way too expensive. Microsoft should be ready to help their customers for a more reasonable price, especially when it doesn't cost them near that much money to fix your system. But I guess they like to earn money anyway possible.
