Wrestlevania Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) So this has just happened, for the second time: Which means you can count me out of any 360-related festivities for the remainder of July, and probably all of August too.

Wrestlevania Posted July 28, 2009 Guesses were correct. I've hosted the image somewhere else now and updated the OP in all it's (miserable) glory. Just printed out my UPS returns label and organised collection for tomorrow--it would've been today, but I had to put the bins out for collection and left the 360 packaged up in the kitchen. As irony would have it, I kept my returns packaging from Microsoft from October last year in case this happened again. Go pessimistic, skeptical me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toblix Posted July 28, 2009 Yes, I can see the image now. It's clearly visible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wrestlevania Posted July 28, 2009 FFS... fixed, again. Just noticed: my Dreamcast appears to be grinning like an idiot, while my Gamecube maintains stoic indifference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n0wak Posted July 28, 2009 Gamecube looks like it's sticking its thumb out Well, there's always the PC... up for some TF2? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted July 28, 2009 yep... apparently the PC just works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrestlevania Posted July 28, 2009 Gamecube looks like it's sticking its thumb out I'll assume you meant "tongue". And yes, it does look like it's blowing a raspberry with masterful indifference, now you mention it. Well, there's always the PC... up for some TF2? The lot of the condemned...

Wrestlevania Posted August 6, 2009 Well feck me sideways... Mrs V's just phoned: UPS have just returned my Xbox 360 already! Instant thought, "what if they've not found a fault with it and just sent it straight back again?!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patters Posted August 31, 2009 My 360 just stopped reading discs, saying open tray whenever a disc was inserted. Luckily hoovering the disc tray worked (bad idea, I know), I hope it can last till I get money in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toblix Posted August 31, 2009 I'm wondering if Microsoft has just decided to, instead of fixing the various issues with the console, lower the price so much that people can just buy a new one when it breaks, like a bulb or my shoes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Posted August 31, 2009 people can just buy a new one when it breaks, like a bulb or my shoes Fucking shoes. I swear they used to last me years and years, and now they develop massive great water-sucking holes within a few months of use. I don't know what it is that I do to them. It must be all the strenuous walking to and from train stations. I hate buying shoes. So yeah, 360s. Good luck to you, Patters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wrestlevania Posted September 1, 2009 sometimes I have had it being inconsistent, it still is but that may be because the dvd in question is a little scratched. It sounds like the DVD drive's getting ready to cark it, which should result in a three red lights (RRoD) error. Both times my machine died were exclusively because of the DVD drive, and there's a limitless warranty on all instances of three red lights. Wouldn't start panicking just yet.
