ya never know, they might have changed the release date to get an extra few sales on it before fallout, loads of ppl are deciding between fable and fallout, me being one of them, i think fable wins for me :)

Argh! I went to HMV yoday to try and get my Xbox replaced, but because the power button on the face plate is messed up ( I took off the face plate one time, and pressed the power button, so it got stretched slightly, and now it can't be used; you can still turn it on, by pressing eject) they say that the Xbox could've been treated roughly (which it hasn't been) so they wont offer a replacement!

 

They also tried to put the blame on the component cable and said that they were very fragile, even though I'd always used an HDMI cable. They seem pretty desperate not to replace stuff. Now the manager says he'll try and diagnose the problem and he'll get back to us on Wedenesday.

 

My problem was that it wouldn't recognise a controller when it was plugged in to the console, he said that it was probably due to the "mishandling" of the controller ports, even though I tried using a wireless controller as well as a wired one. Also, sometimes when I turn it on it has pink vertical lines appearing up and down the screen, although that usually goes away after a while.

 

I wish I was beetter at sticking up for myself.

 

EDIT: I know why:

"I’ve owned the console for less than 6 months:[...]it is up to the retailer (not the customer) to prove the fault is not inherent

 

I’ve owned the console for more than 6 months, but less than 12:[...]it would now be up to you, the customer, to prove that the console developed a fault for reasons outside your control. It would not be unreasonable for the retailer to carry out tests to confirm the fault before they repair or replace the unit."

anyone help me on this matter? :

 

looking to buy a bigger harddrive for my 360...if i do will i be able to keep my gamertag? if so is there a fee or anything to transfer account to a different harddrive?

 

60gb on ebay goes for about £50 quid or so not to shabby

120gb goes for £80 inc postage on a buy it now at the mo.

 

I called up MS yesterday and explained I have bought my friends unused 60GB HDD and I wanna transfer all my XBLA, maps and game saves over. Woman I spoke to said they send tranfer cables for free if you have an elite console. Told her I don't and its a bit unfair. She then said it was okay and took down my address so she could send it out for me..

Question to those that have sent their 360s for repair: Do you need to include your power cable and tv out cable in the box with your console? I presume you do but it hasn't said anything about it when I've been filling out my repair order (free repair as I have RROD).

Xbox 360 outsold Sony's PlayStation 3 in Japan in September, beating the rival machine in monthly unit sales for the first time in Sony's home

market, a game magazine publisher said.

 

Strong sales growth came after Microsoft cut prices for its game console last month.

 

Microsoft sold 53,547 units of the Xbox 360 in the four weeks to Sept. 28, compared with 33,071 units of the PS3, data from Enterbrain showed on Friday.

 

Nintendo safely maintained its leading position in the Japanese console market, having sold 109,548 units of the Wii during the month.

 

Although popular in the United States, the Xbox 360 has been struggling to compete with the PS3 and the Wii in Japan, home to both Sony and Nintendo.

 

In a bid to lift sales, Microsoft on Sept. 11 cut the price of the Xbox 360 Arcade, which comes without a hard disk drive, by 8,000 yen ($76) to 19,800 yen.

 

It also lowered the price of the high-end Elite model by 8,000 yen to 39,800 yen.

 

Sony sells the PS3 with a 40-gigabyte hard disk drive for 39,980 yen, while Nintendo offers the Wii for 25,000 yen.

 

The Microsoft console also got a boost from Square Enix Holdings' popular role-playing game, "Infinite Undiscovery", launched in Japan on Sept. 11.

 

In the handheld video game market, Nintendo sold 234,477 units of its DS, compared with 109,274 units of Sony's PlayStation Portable.

 

Sales of the PSP seem to have slowed ahead of the planned launch on Oct. 16 in Japan of a new model of the portable machine, Enterbrain said.

 

The new PSP-3000 will come with a built-in microphone and advanced LCD panel that is better suited for use outdoors and offers a shorter response time than the existing machine.

 

Nintendo will launch a new DS on Nov. 1 that can take pictures and play music, potentially encroaching into the territory of Apple's iPod and iPhone.
