So I turn on my XBOX tonight to play a little NCAA 2005 and the fucker boots up the "blue" screen of death. Error code 12 and tells me to call Microsoft. I searched online for what error code 12 is, and it says "12 - kernel - DVD parameters (PIO/DMA)" I have no clue what that means or if this is the only problem. So if someone does please let me know. What pisses me off more is, I can't even take the game out!!! Anyways, I have 3 options and I need your help to decide. 1 - Ditch the piece of shit and buy a new one (I'd rather not fork up the dough or loose all my files). 2 - Call Microsoft and get raped up the ass by repair fees. And 3 - Assuming it is just the drive that is shot, go on eBay, buy a new drive, and repair it myself. So if anyone has been through this pain of your XBOX dying and can help me out your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
