I live in Canada and want to buy a 360 with HDMI

post #1 of 7

Thread Starter 
So I'm a pretty big fan of Forza series and Forza Horizon is the only reason I am going back to the 360 console actually. I live in Canada and would like to find a 360 on the cheap with HDMI and a reliable DVD-drive that won't RROD. Any suggestions for where to go to pick one up?
Thanks

Honestly if you're looking for something like that here's what you'll need to do after buying it. (Assuming it's a Phat console because you said cheap.)

- Remove the X-Clamps
- Replace TIM with AC5 or other TIM of choice. (Not the cheap)
- Throw away X-Clamps and use bolts, metal, and nylon washers instead.
- Install a Talismoon Fan or hotwire your original fan into the 12v wire off the DVD Drive.
**Optional** - Install additional fans.

Honestly, I've got about 5 360's sitting at my apartment. 2 of which have been reflowed while the others have had the above an haven't had a single issue with them. As for DVD Drives, grab a Lite-On or a Ben-Q. Only had one Ben-Q go out on me and the rest (Hitachi, Samsung) have been horrid.

The newer 360's have HDMI. If you're referring to the Phat Arcade then no, they didn't have HDMI nor did they come with Component cables. tongue.gif

I'd be happy to sell you my old one if I didn't need to get reballed.
