Owen Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Thanks for that Meik! My consoles now working...i'm still going to send it back though, it's too 'on & off' when you think about the money you've paid for it. The woman said it's a hardware failure, so it may happen again it may not...i rather not take the chance! Oh also. My advice to anyone is not to buy the Nyko cooler! It's loud and gets VERY hot making the whole thing pointless, i'm beginning to think this may have had something to do with why my 360 broke-down in the first-place! and i'm pretty sure my head-set is broke too. I can hear people, but they can't hear me! So i have to get that sorted as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meik Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 The mistake you made was getting the label via email, if you'd just asked them to send you the box and label you would have got it by wednesday, or earlier, and could have arranged pick up for thursday at the latest and had it back by today, if not last friday.You'll probably get it back tomorrow rather than wednesday, I've always recieved mine back the day after they email me saying they've recieved the old one. Cheers, i'll keep that in mind for the next time it inevitably breaks. Saves me digging out another box as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I phoned UPS up last Wednesday, as I was away over the weekend they said they would come on Monday. They came on Friday, when I was still at home but I didn't have it in its box, so they went away and said they would come on Monday. I've got a box for it that is about 10x the size of the actual Xbox360. The support guy said it wouldn't matter. (They're only going to throw it out anyway afterwards, I doubt they even open the box) They didn't come today so I'll phone UPS up tomorrow.

Domstercool Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I'm glad I've never had anything that has broken by itself. I must be lucky. It sound such a hassle to get a new one from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 As long as i get my new 360 back by August 31st, i 'm not too bothered! Thats when i will get Saints Row! I'm beginning to think a plug might have fallen out of mine....it hasn't happened again! So at least i can play mine until the label comes by email! Do you think PS3's will all break? I'm pretty sure the Wii won't, as i've never had any problems with a Nintendo console! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the ps3 will break it's sony+new tech+krazy ken= kablamo I think the wii will be glitchy as well it's new tech and I don't think even nintendo's magic finger can stop consles breaking for stuff like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KKOB Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 i agree, the Wii hardware will have been heavily product tested and i cant see nintendo allowing any glitches exspecially as nintendo are banking on the accuracy of the Wiimote. the PS3 will probably have worse hardware problems than the 360. which remings me, the PS3 is Fugly!!! i can now appreciate the Sleekness of my 360 and the grey mass that is the power supply monster. im sure the PS3 will crush many a japanese table. i need to get 200 more gamerpoints today and i think im gonna buy cloning clyde to help me! mwahahahahahaaaaaaaaaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeldaFreak Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I want 09/01 Saint's Row Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas ( maybe ) 09/08 Dead Rising Enchanted Arms ( maybe ) 09/22 Just Cause ( maybe ) 11/17 Gears of War Saints Row has serious lag problems, Tom Clancy generic squad shooter, Dead Rising the textures on that game aren't very good Enchanted Arms generic RPG Just Cause great looking enviroments - shabby 3D models GoW bad frame rate and grainy textures And to top all of this off they haven't managed to get broked 360s to 5% of what they have produced.

ZeldaFreak Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 are you kiding me?!?!?!?!?! Afraid not the Chineses are known for their faulty products unlike the Japanese - I mean comparing products. Like if the PS2 were made no units would work - whereas in Japan at least a 1/4 of the units worked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The3rdChildren Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Probably Wednesday: I recieve my new console and sample the delights of Dead Rising. I'm also able to snipe The3rdChildren in the head once more. Fuck you. I hope you die. Or alternatively: "I'm glad I'm not The3rdChildren, he's shit at Halo. Unlike me, who is great."

And Dead Rising is amazing. :horse: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
