spirited away Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Ring them, say it RROD. On the website they only take into account your current warrenty RROD warrenty is 3 years. Ah, I thought you could register RROD consoles as well...damn I hate customer support...
The fish Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 You get the same shell and they replace the faulty components. Anyone thinking they're going to get a brand new XBOX is a complete idiot. I actually got a brand new Xbox, they sent me a letter with it saying so, but it wasn't clear why. It appears they couldn't fix it.
RoadKill Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 If my Xbox got the RROD I certainly wouldn't want the same one back. :p You would, because if you get a different one you can lose the licences for all your Xbox live downloaded content as far as I'm aware
spirited away Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Just wondering; how long did it take you guys to get a repaired 360, from the date the courier picked it up?
S.C.G Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 From pick-up it takes about 1.5 - 2 weeks generally...
Bren Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 You would, because if you get a different one you can lose the licences for all your Xbox live downloaded content as far as I'm aware Arnt they stored to your gamercard on MS's servers? When i got me elite, all my dlc was re-downloaded with ease
spirited away Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 From pick-up it takes about 1.5 - 2 weeks generally... Hmm, will be eagerly awaiting the return then - with Fable 2 and Gears in hand.

Cube Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Those prices were reduced around a month ago. I wish the ME DLC was 200 points.
RoadKill Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Arnt they stored to your gamercard on MS's servers? When i got me elite, all my dlc was re-downloaded with ease I've never had the problem because I've always had the same 360, but if you search the internet, it's easy to find people moaning about licences not transferring, maybe it's different now
Aalborg Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 http://www.xbox.com/drm this?? I got a new xbox and had problems but this "fixed" it..
Dyson Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Rock Band 2 EU, November 14th. Woot! http://kotaku.com/5070309/rock-band-2-360-gets-solid-euro-release-date
Mundi Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 This year or the next one? Because considering the time the first game took to come here I would hardly find to be surprising
BeerMonkey Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 just had a go on devilmaycry4 currently on mission 3....not impressed prob end up sending it back to lovefilm tomorrow sooooooooooo close to fallout 3!!!
Dante Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Beatles License Songs to Viacom Videogame Unit The Beatles have licensed songs to MTV Networks' Rock Band videogame series, according to several people familiar with the matter, a coup for the Viacom Inc. unit in its battle with rival Activision Inc. for supremacy in the world of rock and roll video games. The deal, which is set to be announced Thursday by Viacom's MTV and the band's own Apple Corps Ltd., makes the Beatles the next and biggest major band to license its songs to a music-oriented videogame, joining Aerosmith, Metallica, AC/DC and others. Rock Band and Activision's Guitar Hero have engaged in heated competition over exclusive rights to use music by major acts. The games Rock Band and Guitar Hero let players use miniature plastic game controllers, shaped like musical instruments, to play along with recorded rock and pop songs to test the players' level of skill. The game publishers have entered a handful of multimillion-dollar licensing agreements with some of the biggest names in the business. The Beatles represent by far the biggest prize to date in the category. Not only do they have the best-selling album catalog any band, they have not yet licensed their music for sale by download services such as Apple Inc.'s iTunes Store. Key details could not be learned, such as whether Rock Band is creating a special Beatles-only title, as Guitar Hero has done with Aerosmith and others; which songs or how many of them are to be included; or a release date or price. Rock Band is a product of Harmonix, a division of MTV. Spokesmen for Apple Corps and EMI Group Ltd., the Beatles' record label, could not be reached immediately. A spokeswoman for MTV declined to comme SUPER STREET FIGHTER II TURBO: HD REMIX COMING IN NOVEMBER So, looks like I am pretty much right on the money with my prediction of the release date. According to this blog post on CAPCOM's official blog, Kramez says the game is coming in November. I am still banking on it coming out during Thanksgiving due to people being home for the holidays with plenty of free time to play 2 player games with family and friends.
khilafah Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Just clocked Tales of Vesperia. Such a great game!!
S.C.G Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Rock Band 2 EU, November 14th. Woot! http://kotaku.com/5070309/rock-band-2-360-gets-solid-euro-release-date Awesome news : peace: but is that supposed to be just for the game or the instruments as well? because so far Play have only just listed the actual standalone game up there, hopefulyl instruments to follow though... oh and also take a look at the Peripheral range, Madcatz have gone all out it seems... http://www.play.com/Search.aspx?searchtype=X360&searchstring=rock+band&page=search&pa=search&go.x=0&go.y=0 Though I must admit some of them do look rather good and I have the mic stand which is awesome. ^^
S.C.G Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 instruments in December apparently Really? fail... I would rather have the game and instruments at the same time, but then again... it is only the drums that are significantly different and it detects whichever kits your using... so still yay for Rock Band early releaseness. but omfg... Gears of War 2, Sonic Unleashed, GH:WT , Rock Band 2, Lips, Banjo Kazooie Xbla / N&B, Left 4 Dead, Tomb Raider : Underworld, Mirrors Edge plus more in the SAME MONTH... can November get any more awesome?
Shorty Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 On the most recent Inside Xbox is a page about the readers most wanted... it has 6 games all from November that just really show how crazy next month is gonna be v_v I want them all, except CoD.
Cube Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Well...my games for this year (if I can afford them all) will be Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Banjo-Kazooie XBLA, Tomb Raider: Underworld, Mirror's Edge and Sonic Unleashed.
spirited away Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Right, so the courier pick up my X360 today, and said it should be reapaired and returned in "about 3 weeks". 3 weeks! .
Shorty Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 silver accounts have to wait about a week for demos. If I use a 48 hour code, does anyone know if I can get demos on trial gold? I really want the Mirror's Edge and TR:U trailers.
