sol740 Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Towel trick may work, but I would just get that puppy replaced. Though I've had 4 360's so maybe Im too used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pat Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Trowa said he can fix it. I sent mine back. Yeah, just send it back. The towel trick will get it running for a while, but Microsoft's turn around time is getting quicker for replacement, so just go with that.

Putty Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 i never opened it... Well, you are good. MS extended the warranty 1 year. When you call they will let you let you know. They make sure it's good for repair before you send. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konig_twinkies Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 If you have never registered the 360 you can give them any date you want so it can still be in warranty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will get in that ass, deep. http://www.wtfhost.com//files/44/hl2ismybitch.jpg Anyone want to get pwnt, let me know. I haven't played in probably a year since I'd always get banned for "cheating" so you might stand a chance. I need to buy a desk/chair so I can actually use my desktop again...

MrMeanGreen Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Call them, get a supervisor, tell them you bought it six months ago and moved (thus losing the receipt). Tell them you have a non-line item credit card receipt from Wal-Mart for $306.09 dated whatever you want that's six months ago. They'll change the warranty start date in their system to this. Yes, it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should stop being lazy and do that, I really want to play Left 4 Dead. I'm always trying to tell people this. A good PC FPS player is = to or > an excellent FPS platform player. The controls lend themselves very well the the mouse and kb setup. I have considered getting a kb/mouse combo for my ps3 since I can't play any of the newer fps on my laptop. I've wanted to play the new Call of Duty for so long, as well as many others. I'm sure I suck, now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bens06GTP Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 It's newer, dude....Wait till Xbox's retort. With the Falcon chips the 360's still have a 10% fail rate. X-Box pissed me off when they wouldnt fix my 360 for free. Im getting 2 red lights and it takes about 20 trys to get it to turn on and work properly. Called them and they wont fix it for free unless it has 3 red lights. So fvck MS and their sh*ty product. I bought a PS3 and have been a happy gamer since.
