Xbox 360 dead, need help or advice?

they are crap! occasionally u can get one that doesn't burn up within a year, but that is the exception and not the rule. microsoft sucks when it comes to building video consoles. take it to gamestop or eb games, they will buy it and charge u a refurbish fee to take it off your hands. it's virtually ruined anyway. anything is better than nothing. get a little from the video stores instead of getting nothing when u put it in the trash. the next time stick with nintendo and sony. ps3 doesn't have a lot of games yet, but that will change and sony WILL stand behind their work!
