XBox 360 (4 Viewers)

Yeah I really liked it. Only thing is it's a lttle short and it is very linear once you realise there are only five or six areas in the new york setting. I take it you haven't 'left' NY yet?

Just found my way out of NY last night, nicely creepy now. Have to say the voice acting & scripting is some of the best I've seen in a long while. The fact that you can navigate around NY using the street signs and onstreet maps is a lovely touch too.

Those 15,000 games you've played better pay off.

I have good days and bad days but
prob pld the best player I've ever pld today, he had a rating of "only" 725 but fuck he made me play like a total newbie, he was brilliant, I never had time on the ball and he sliced me open so easily.
I lost 4-1 but tbh that was quite a notable achievement.

I just got the 3 red lights of death!!!
Fucks sake!!!

What do I do now?

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

Get a ps3.

- Have you got a reciept, how old is it?

 

[Wilbert]

Get a ps3.

If I wasn't so broke.......

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

If I wasn't so broke.......

If you have a reciept and its within a year you should get a replacement where you bought it...otherwise Microsoft will fix it. Red light failures are now under a 3 year warranty as far as i know.

 

[Wilbert]

I got it on the day of release so I guess it's about 18 months old. Pain in the hole!!!

I just got my first red ring there, was only one ring of death though. Hard Disk error apparently. This could be the start of the end...

Now that the warranty has been extended to 3 years do I take it back to the shop?

Just turned on xbox for first time in about a month and as it was loading up the available matches for R6V on live the screen went black and there was a weird clicking/clipping sound through the audio. Turned it off and back on, and now it keeps freezing on the green globe microsoft loading screen thing. Fuck. Eight months old and no receipt. Fuck.

How are you all placing the console? Is there any advantage to having it vertical/horizontal? I've gotten a few "this disc is unreadable" errors already, for game discs that have only the tiniest of smudges on them.

 

[RSJ]

Ok, now it's giving me three red lights. Do i need the full four for an exchange without receipt or what?

3 lights means that Microsoft will fix it as it is fucked!

4 just means that some cables are loose.

Here's the number I rang yesterday 012420758.

Your 360 will be collected within 5 days of ringing them and returned to you within 25 days after it's collected.

And I just played the Flatout demo yesterday in a mates house which was great fun!

Pain. In. The. Hole.
