My mate from works also died last night. Apparently microsoft changed the fault to 'if it dies' to 'when it dies'. Damn people. Gonna have to send it way leggett. Don't send the cables though or hard-drive.

The newer versions are also now covering by a 3 year warranty, so you're well covered...

that must be a fairly new thing then, all the gumpfh i've read in the warranty booklet say its one year, with an option to pay x amount for 2 years extra. i've officially given up on it now, its still fucking up and i've done all the troubleshooting gubbins. hooray for the tech support guys, its gonna cost an arm and a leg ringing them and sorting it out, gitbags. |

You get 3 years warranty for the infamous three red lights of death! If you had bought it from Game and still had the receipt, you could have taken it back there and get it swapped instead of having to send it off to MS.

I want a PS3 and Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. Then i can get started on the licenses before the full GT5 comes out. That game makes me want to knock one out.

[camp tone]Ralphy, shhhh, you'll make me buy one![/camp tone]
I'll probably just wait for the full release to save the distraction of having Gran Turismo. I haven't played it to any great degree since GT2, and now they have 'raris, the R8, the Intergrale and rummours of Porkers, Lambos and Superbikes it could be the wet dream of driving games to end all wet dreams of driving games. :porn:
Oh, Oh, Oh and you get the Topgear test track and the Nurburgring to drive them round. This could get messy...
