Xbox Repaired
I spent £45.80 with consoleplus for a Philips DVD drive to replace the Toshiba Samsung drive in my Xbox and 8 TORX screws later (6 long external T25s and 2 short internal T15s[1]) I had the old drive out the new drive in and a working Xbox. Result!
I noticed earlier that I could have bought a brand new Xbox plus 4 games (I own all except Halo 2, but that is what ebay is for) from argos for nearly 90 quid, but I’d have lost all my save games so I think this way is for the best.
I had a quick go at a platinum medal on PGR2 but my l33t 
skills have gone west and I was completely thrashed by the CPU.
[1] Everything online says it should be T20s and T10s which makes me think the cheap set of screwdriver bits I bought from focus might be mislabelled - the jump from T25 to T30 does look significantly larger than the other jumps.
