Posted January 12, 2008 Gah, nevermind, all they did was give me a helpline number to ring and they'd "troubleshoot". ... Actually, i just checked, and it is indeed the M$ support line, fat lot of good that is. I'll have to get myself a box and go through the order i made online.

Posted January 12, 2008 Ergh, the towel trick's not working either. I can'teven temporarily fix it. I'm actually really tempted to just save a little, sell a few things, and buy a brand new falcon Core (Arcade or whatever) Are all the Arcade units Falcon? Or will i have to persuade in store for them to check? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 12, 2008 What........ Only a handful of features not already revealed by the Smash Bros. Dojo were present, including new assist trophies from Advance Wars, Source; http://kotaku.com/gaming/super-smash-bros'-brawl/super-smash-bros-brawl-hands-on-impressions-310411.php And it seems I did imagine the PW AT.

Posted January 12, 2008 just had a good game of c&c3 going and then.. "the disc is unreadable".. sigh.. hopefully my next 360 wont have these problems reading my "very dirty and scratched discs" Do you have your 360 standing up. I did with my elite and I think it messed up viva pinata. I swapped the disk at the game store i got it from, layed down the 360 and never had another issue.

Posted January 12, 2008 There is also a better breed of player on COD, I think. I haven't been insulted yet. No singing. But I've heard American players coaching English players. The Irish are the Irish, but what you gonna do :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 12, 2008 Live problems,wondering if anyone can help. Sibling's 360 isnt connecting to the 'net. When wired from the router it doesn't recognise any connection. When wired from his PC (which is connected to the net wirelessly) it recognises a connection, but IP doesn't work, which is im guessing due to an IP conflict. Tried setting it on his PC to share the internet connection, but then neither works. Ideas? Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 12, 2008 I want my 360 to get the RROD, I've got 2 months left of my instore warranty and I don't want to expect the worse everyday I use the console anymore with this 360 manufactured in November 2006 bought in March 2007. It seems to conveniently die after the instore warranty ends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 12, 2008 Isn't there a 3 year warranty on the RROD? Yea there is but I can use the instore warranty to get a new one rather than a refurbished one if I send it back to Microsoft plus it's only a few bus stops away into town for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 12, 2008 One year instore swappage, after that you have to send it off and wait. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 13, 2008 I don't know for myself but after a bit of google research Gamestation seem to allow you to keep the hard drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 13, 2008 (edited) Yeah at woolies we let people keep their hard drives if they want to. I know mine has my girlfriends debit card details on from when I've bought points. I've put quite a bit of music etc on their and I certainly wouldn't want to give the hard drive back! Does anyone know if theres a big difference in quality between using the HDMI cables over component cables. With mine being a shitty earlier model i dont have the HDMI, but i wouldn't mind swopping my 360 with my dads HDMI 360. ________ Interracial milf Edited April 28, 2011 by fex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
