The article is a two part guide on how you can fix your xbox360 by yourslef, no one is charging anyone to repair their console for them, and there is no point in the article where such is being mentioned. Its notlinking anyone to anysite, I know the author has he as fixed my console when I ran into the same problem.
Where are youguys getting the $30 idea from? No one is asking for anyone's dollars, its more a way for you to learn and get it done yourself.
Guys please...
I think the author promises to complete both parts. I've read it and there is no point where anyone is charging anyone for anything. Its a free article.
