Got A Corona 4gb For Aus $150, Should I Keep It?

I bought a 4gb slim from JB Hifi (AU) recently, and although I chose the oldest possible box, I still ended up with a corona *Facepalm*. I am not sure whether I should return it, or wait.  I have had many JTAG xenons, but they all end up sh*tting the bed after a while, no matter how much heat or flux you give them.

The drive emulators are massively expensive (same price as I paid for the console) and I have to stab holes into the chip in the DVD drive and get a modded DVD drive and DL discs as my other alternative.

Wondering if its worth keeping?

I have searched and people are saying there is RGH progress on Corona, but search as I may, I find no details on the progress (of course).

Wish I was smart enough to dump the nand and find a way to slow down the cpu and be able to talk about it like I knew what I was on about.


Indeed you are a cheap one...

REBALLING should have kept almost any xenon running for a couple of years with silver-leaded solder (or something like that), heatgun is for neanderthals.

Yeah, I picked up a jasper with a bad laser for $80. Cheap easy fix, easy to mod and the GPU runs way cooler than 360-S GCPU.
