Well, if your pretty hand with electronics then yes it is worth it. However!!!! 99% of the broken xboxs you can find on ebay do not come with anything else other than the xbox itself. which means you have to buy a power brick. Lowest I have seen is $40, then you have to buy the av video cable. about $20 depending on the type of cable you want, you have to buy the xbox of course which will run you about $50 with shipping, and a controller $30 depending on what kind you want. Then you have to buy all of the nessasary parts to fix it. About $10 bucks for xclamp fix (OVERHEATING ISSUES) About $40 to fix the DVD issues. So if you have both problems then your grand total is about $190 bucks. You better off buying a new one especially if your not sure if you can fix it. I buy broken ones becuase I know I can fix them and I am not keeping them so I don't have to purchase all of the other stuff. I just sell them without that other stuff. Hope that helps. and good luck on your choice...
