Default Just made the Red light club.. Rock on!!!

Well, I put in an old xbox game and it wiped out the whole sh@t box. I'm pretty stoked because I get to pay Microsoft 139 to fix it. That's sooooo hot. What a killer experience. In all my 20 years of gaming I have never had a system break or read so much on a system breaking. Amazing. It's like I was waiting for it to happen and it eventually did. Sux 2 b me.

You are actually happy you shelled out $139 to fix your 360? Unbelievable.

That does suck. Now I am thinking it might happen to me too. I have only had my system for about 4 1/2 months.

*crossing fingers*

My box still hasn't come to send mine in. Problem is, I was so pissed that it broke that I started to open it to clean it out but thought better of it. Still I started messing with the sticker, so they'll probably charge me. Even though it was out of warranty, when I called CS, they said it was still covered! DOH!

when you get a replacement does the 1 year warranty start again?

I got the EB Games one year warranty because i can basically get it replaced no questions asked. My 360 has been fine but thinking of replacing it for a new one, will my warranty keep going?

Mine died about 3 weeks ago too and was 3 months out of waranty but just by chance a good mate of mine is a manager in Games shop "where I got it" and simply just took a new one out of a box and replaced it with mine.

He said they only send them back to microsoft once a year so they will never no it broke out of waranty.
