You guys should really join the PC gaming side, its more expensive but you dont have to put up with this kind of bullshit

Should something in your pc be faulty, its kinda the same really!

I' ve never had a defective PC part, and in the off chance that it ever happens I just have to RMA it and I' d probably get a good part that would work as advertised. With a 360 your guaranteed to get a defective box after you buy it in the store and another defective box after you return it and get another one.

Mine went busto a while ago so I called in yesterday and they wanted me to pay $139.99 to send it in to get fixed. Might as well buy a new fxing box for that much.

Towely ended up fixing my 360 for free.

They' re tied to your account, HDD (obviously) and your 360

I might be misunderstanding you, but my cousin has brought his HD to my 360 and downloaded arcade games, tv shows, and added loads of points, and it works fine on his 360

I thought they dont require you to send in you HDD anymore? They let me keep mine. So when I got it back it worked fine with all my d/ls. I guess the only thing we can be happy is that the cost is merely time and nothing more.

PC gaming is still too expencive for me...and uncomfortable. I tried PC gamign from a couch...doesnt work well. So then I tried normal computer chair and desk...but my tv is my moniter so you cant get to close or the view is obscurred. So yeah...maybe later I' ll try PC gaming again.

They work offline?

I never did send in my HDD, I still have my original. Some Arcade games, such as the most important one (Geometry Wars) is locked to your 360 itself. It also recognizes your Gamer Tag but that only works when you' re signed into Live. So if you want to play Geometry Wars Offline on your new 360 or access a lot of your other content you payed for you' re shit out of luck. This is easilly the dumbest this about the console considering how likely it is that your Box will die on you.

So it worked then?

yep, put it on there for 15 minutes then took it off and let it cool for about a half-hour and it worked. I was really worried because I thought my brother or one of his friends accidently kicked it or something stupid like that and the towel trick wouldn' t work. They probably did though, it is too great a coincidence that it works perfectly fine for almost 2 years then he has a party and it breaks.

Thank god for Xbox-Scene eh?

I see you have your old avatar back Eddie

The fixes really aren' t to hard to do its just everyone is lazy, unless of course you have warranty and they just give you a new one then it just doesn' t f***ing matter. The 360 I own but broke before I ever really owned it is going to be overhauled sometime soon and then it shouldn' t really give me anymore problems or I' m killing Eddie and taking his or maybe just taking his because I think a lot of people would be pissed if I killed him.

I' d get over it Torr.

I' m on my 4th and 5th.

3 died, the 4th is the new machine Microsoft sent and the 5th is the new machine i bought just in case.

I' ll buy a 65nm unit towards the end of the year.

Then Nitro you' re like one of 0.1% of the xbox installbase with that unluck.

Just untill E3 is over, then I' ll have to come up with something a little more creative.

Trust me Silent, you' d be pissed if I' d had his box as long as I have. I only now have the money to go out & buy components for the permanent fix.
