Default xbox 360 (60GB) problem & questions

Hi,

my lad's 360 with 60GB HDD (18 months old) has suffered a DVD drive failure, the disks will not even spin up in the drive.

I've had it apart to inspect and remove dust / fluff, but no joy.

My question is, rather than repairing it, how easy is it to transfer his Xbox live account and HDD across to a brand-new Arcade console?

Or is a repair the best option? I've seen prices of £50 - £60 for a DVD replacement.


Thanks in advance for any advice ...

The HDD should pop right off the end, connect it to new Xbox, bobs your uncle.

Yup it is an easy option.

I have just picked a freshly refurbished (by MS) xbox arcade from ebay for 50quid delivered (console only)

It still has a years worth of MS warranty left

It is to replace the aged PS2 for my office at work
Also picked up a 16gb usb pendrive for 7.50 to use as a hard drive
