Oh balls. What was I saying about 360s not crashing?

[lePobz]

My december 2005 console has just started crashing out on me. GOD DAMN IT... it couldn't have picked a worse time - too early because I can't replace it with a Zephyr, and also just before the Forza Motorsport 2 release, which is like the only reason besides GTA4 and PGR4 that I actually want a 360 in the first place.

GOD DAMN IT.

 

[CyberPitz]

I hate shit like that. Always has to go wrong at the worst possible moment.

Thank you Murphy, you're law sucks.

360's cannot crash.



I do not own a 360. I am the president of Asia. Your argument is invalid.

 

[lePobz]

Never ring xbox support ... They are all clueless indians. You can't hear what they're saying, and the few words you can make out are hilariously stupid.

That's saddly true - when my 360 went tits up I had a horrible experience calling microsoft. In the end I rang up the retailer and got it exchanged no trouble. I also took up their insurance policy, which works out to be around 20p a month and lasts forever (not sure they thought it through).

Buy an Intercooler and you wont have any more problems. Mine has been going for over a year now.

Hope they make a price drop now the PS3 is out everywhere....don't think they will for a while though =/

Doh. My dad had stood an old decoder on top of the 360s PSU brick (its hiding round the back of the TV) ... took it off, and it's working fine again.

God damn fathers.

 

[Cole]

Was I not right?

 

[Stigmata]

You got brickt. Pwnt. Whatever.

Anyway I should really check the receipt for my 360, I can't remember if we got the 3-year warranty at Best Buy. I really hope we did, because mine crapped out on me over a month ago and I'm really not willing to call MS and go through the shitty tech support again.

[edit] But ****... Forza 2, Guitar Hero, Halo 3... WHY GOD WHY

 

[lePobz]

... no, it's fixed now... all back to 100 percent.

I'll agree with all of those games...except Forza 2 and Halo 3.

after reading the preview for DIRT, I can say that I'm more hyped for that than Forza, and that's saying a lot. DIRT will have completely deformable car bodies that you can smash the shit out of and it will have real effects on how the car drives. Also, by the sound of it, there will be a ton of different gameplay modes.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

I took mine that had been crashing back to Target on Saturday and got a new one on the spot. Go try that.

 

[lePobz]

It.

Is.

SORTED.

thanks anyway. I am really looking forward to CMR DIRT ... I have no idea why I missed it off that list. I'm pretty hyped over Alan Wake too.

True over here too. I spent literally about half an hour giving the guy my address before he found which COUNTRY I WAS IN.

Edit - Also, yes new CMR looks teh sechs

360's gathering dust atm... come oooooooon new releases (that don't suck).

 

[lePobz]

Oh carp.

It's absolutely fudged now, won't even turn on. Tried to cancel my XBL subscription today, was on hold for 10 mins (with interruptions from a stupid automated indian every 10 seconds) ... and at the end, another stupid indian woman just says 'cant cancel today, xbox live is down' ...

F***ING MICROSOFT

 

[smwScott]

Gotta love those quality Microsoft products, they sure do know how to build em'. You get what you pay for.
