It's under a year old so it'll be free to fix, right? but will they pay for shipping and will it take like, 3 weeks to get it back? Can't wait that long. :( also, i know you can get extended warranties from microsoft, but is that available in canada?
its an american xbox, isn't it?! I dunno 8), ask vamp, and man that was quick
man these things are pieces of ****.
can't wait to go through this myself.
was it the disc drive? cause I called it.
And you have to pay for shipping and handling if I recall correctly, but they'll fix it for free. If you give them hell you can probably get everything free, it'll just involve a lot of yelling and complaining, etc.
ninjaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'd
oh darn.
Did you get a RRoD? Or is it still just being a *****? Either way, send it in.
So, apparently if you have the original box you can take it back to wal-mart and exchange it. Just say it was a gift and as long as it looks new you'll be good to go. If it doesn't work at one wal-mart go to the other, doesn't even matter if you bought it there.
Try it and see what happens. Nothing to lose.
Seriously? Man, I'm gonna try that.
Yeah, it's a states box from walmart.
And why are the newer xbawks better? Did they put better disc drives or a chip or something in? I bet I got mine right before they did something.
Haven't gotten the RRoD. It just won't load games and when it does, I get DREs or it freezes on every game except for Halo. Doesn't make any sense. Plus, the dashboard is freezing and half the time won't let me enter private chat. It's overall just being pretty gay. Yeah, sounds like the disc drive and probably other ****, too.
65nm chipsets now. They generate less heat, and therefore reduce the risk of RRoD and general ****ed-upness. As for disk drives... No idea.
The new 360's also use the BenQ disc drive that went into limited production last christmas. It wasn't until a couple months ago that other production lines have started using the same drive. So you should be getting a quieter, faster, smoother, and altogether better-made drive. So that combined with the new chip takes care of two notorious problems.
heck yeah, walmart had better not be a little *****.
on the box look at the production date, google search the location if you need and then demand you look at all the boxes. Get the most recent because they might have some very old stock. It's like buying bread or milk.
Apparently my mfr date is 05/05/2006. It doesn't say the date on the box the xbox came in, will it? I can't see it anywhere on mine... So I'd have to demand they open them at the store and look until I found a newer one? How new does it have to be? and does the location matter?
wow, that's pretty old since I actually bought it August 2007.
If you're really concerned about getting a new one, you should probably ship it out to Microsoft.
But if I could get a new one at Walmart within a day compared to Microsoft's like, a month, isn't that better? Plus wouldn't Microsoft just try and fix mine, or send me another refurbished one or something?
Just get any and trade it in when it breaks.
alright. and does microsoft offer extended warranties for canadians do you know?
Pretty sure they do. You're still going to have to wait upwards of six weeks though which sucks.
That's retarded. I should probably get one of those in a couple months then.
My 360 was manufactured August 30th, 2007. Am I gonna die?:(
Maybe!
So I go to a walmart right, and say it was a gift blah blah blah. But they don't exchange US items now apparently, some stupid **** about the spanish difference. What to do now?
throw it in the dumpster.
Won't fit.
Toss it to the Sun.
We need another eclipse.
[quote=Skitzo Control;787978]My 360 was manufactured August 30th, 2007. Am I gonna die?
Pretty unlikely.
You should be sending it to Microsoft now, I guess.
go to bed
I didn't say anything about it being in the US, but they noticed it on the receipt (there's also a huge ****ing stamp on it from customs). I'll try that with Microsoft though, good idea.
oh, can I also still get an extended warranty from Microsoft? And if they give me a new box, does their one year warranty (3 year RRoD) restart for the new box?
Try without the receipt and say it was a gift. The box still works technically and all you want is an exchange, so it should be fine. As for the warranty, I have no clue honestly. You could call them and see if you can get it extended, but I know the RRoD Warranty only covers that single problem and no others so it wouldn't work on your current box. Though your next one should be automatically covered, though I can't remember if it was 3 years from when it was announced or 3 years from purchase. You could just call them when you get your new box and register it then, see what they say.
Walmart hasn't ever let my return anything without a receipt, especially pricier things like an xbawks. But I'll give it a try. And pretty sure it's three years from purchase.
Yeah, I'm just going by what people have told me. I know here, at a local walmart, you can exchange things without a receipt, which is all you want to do. Hopefully it works.
Thanks bud. And if it doesn't work out here...road trip to TO area!
toto area
TORONTO? oh man, that's close to me!
i know dude wle coujld totalyl chill
all right, let's do it!
HEY NAGEL GET ON XBOX RIGHT NOW
hey guys I'm getting CoD4 and Uno today.
oh man, dunk after a single cooler wooo!
X: I was sleeping it off, sorry!
Vamp: When I do go on a road trip to Toronto (maybe this summer?) we are going to have fun and play some shootans.
Kitty: I thought you had Uno? And yay! I can still only play Halo right now, though. :(
Oh yeah, that's right. I already have Uno. :3
We're gonna have UNO NIGHTS.
So it's all a lie and you aren't getting CoD?
Guess this means I need to get Uno. is it 400 or 800?
I have Uno. Apart from SotN, it was probably my best XBLA purchase.
LETS-A PLAY!
It's 400, and I'm still getting CoD4. Doubt I'll play it much, but I like to waste money.
You'll play it a lot, I bet. If Skitzo can love it, you will too. :D
I'll like it, but I'll be too busy playing Uno once everyone else gets it.
Uno is the easiest game to get 100% achievement completion in. Ever.
... You also get to see a lot of naked black guys.
man you'd get to see a whole ****load of cute kitties if I had an XBL cam.
k, I'll get Uno, and you get the cam.
nobody wants to play splitscreen in this day and age.
****'s gaaaaaaaaaaay
Even on my living room TV, which is pretty big, it's still hard as hell to see what I'm doing. Fightan gaems are the only ones left that work well locally.
Which makes sense. Fightan games and a lot of XBLA games. And music/rhythm games.
you're just stupid babies.
nah. times have changed. splitscreen is unacceptable
I'd rather watch somebody play shootan than me play splitscreen. **** sucks.
And heck yeah, I'll bring my broken box and we will party it up separately!
Splitscreen's gay. Exponentially more gay than LAN parties.
BETTER GET USED TO IT BUDDY WE're going to MLG CANADA ANDC USA WOOOO
we're playing splitscreen btw yeah girrrrrlllll
YES I ACCEPT YOUR TEAM INVITE I'll play competitive Halo for a season or two.
... And get a lot of money. ENOUGH TO BUY COD4?
NMAN IM SO POOR
Actually I dpn't have a car so I can't gp get it I'll get it tomorrow.
WITH MY MOM LOL
At least you get to play Brawl some time this century.
Sabing up christmas money but nooooo shaving nuh uh sir. I'm gonna play so much lol

I'll be on after I shower in a few minutes.
You guys I was there, playing Catball and Campaign. :(
Do you by any chance recall me saying anything about the twin towers ASPLODING yesterday, X? Because I need to know!
Yeah, we were playing on Snowbound and you said Osama blowing the twin towers up was the best thing ever and that you <3 muslims. One of the guys we were playing with got super ****ed and quit.
OOPS LOL
drunk kitty?
I don't remember a thing.
fuuuuuuuuuuck I need xbox
WHY WON'T CHRISTMAS JUST END so I can get a job and buy myself some awesome stuff
hey slade get an xbox
NOW
cats is always dunk now
a downward spiral of destruction!
Yeah, I remember now. You said you <3 Osama and stuff. Ken won't play with you anymore. :( I was just kinda like 'oh man, what's kitty doing' while sending someone a message. Yeah.
X, why didn't you answer me STOP PLAYING MASS EFFECT WHILE I'M ON
KEN WON'T PLAY WITH US ANYMORE? FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
well, he will if cats isn't playing. I <3 Ken. :(
Good job, cats. See what happens when you drink and drive? *******it.
Yeah, now I'm torn between who to play with when you're both on. Good job. :@
Yeah I remember now. well I was like, commenting on all of the OH NO TERRORISTS videos my Civics teacher shows us. He shows them to us as if we all just LOVE OSAMA BIN LADEN and we're all suicide bombers, and he makes comments loike "SEE WHAT UR UP AGAINST??". So I was all like "YEAH MAN I JUST LOOOOOOOVE OSAMA BIN LADEN".
That's what I meant anyway. Oh grandma!
I dunno, maybe message him or something? I don't think he'll play with you ever again, though. :(
get on msn
xbawks needs sarcasm tags.
or big letters that say "WARNING, CHILD PLAYING DRUNK"
way to log off :@
then back on :cool:
[quote=Angelwing;791767]X, why didn't you answer me STOP PLAYING MASS EFFECT WHILE I'M ON
I'll play legendary campaign next time i'm on
I was laughing pretty hard when cats started his pro-terrorism thing. I'd actually be more inclined to play with him because of that, rather than DO NOT WANT
Haha, yeah. Except he's huge on the idea that all Muslims want to kill you and turn you into Muslims. He said it himself. :s
[quote=Vampiro V. Empire;791933]Ken is from the south, so you know.So, people in the South are actually like that? oh lawd
[IMG]http://bestweekever.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/more_you_know1.jpg[/IMG]
Yeah. Couldn't you tell by his accent?
I knew he had a southern accent, I just didn't know the average people of the South were like that.
xbawks is shipping out tomorrow. becoming an hero
then why bother shipping it out? I say prop it up at a very high height, and then drop it on your head.
instadeath? do want
i knew you would aid me in my time of need
for the love of ***, go to bed
just three more minutes!
well, if it makes you feel any better. I may be getting a bawks tomorrow. not sure though.
MOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
that makes me feel loads better, thanks dude.
now i'll sleep better at night
well it makes ME feel better knowing that if I do I won't have to worry about any encounters with YOU
no that actually sucks.
You mean three months amirite
NO! HE MEANS NEVER!
AND WEREN'T YOU GOING TO BE AN HOUR AGO?
You won't get the red ring, but idk if broken disc drives are that common anymore. That's what lisa has and that's what I got, but I believe MS is using a Ben-Q drive... so who knows.
it'd still make me laugh though.
I better not get an older refurb.
going to bed now. maybe.
pretty sure you will. From past experiences I know MS won't ship back your old box in Canada, so you're guaranteed a refurb, and they likely have stockpiles of them.
I'm pretty sure I have a busted disc drive too. The weird thing is, it seems to be dependent on the game. My Crackdown gets DREs hourly, and my Oblivion gets them every so often, but my copies of Halo 3 and COD2/4 have never had a single one.
how queer
yes, quite gay indeed.
ahhhh hate microsoft
when I shake the box, I can hear something rattling around inside!
Same happened with my old one. It started with R6V and Gears, but then for a while everything except Prey and Lost Planet wasn't working, then it was nothing.
DONT TELL ME THESE THINGS
Just get maplestory/neverwinter nights/starcraft and a computer mic and play with me and cats.
also, I sent out my xbawks this morning.
Day One - Depression
gawd, I cant even stay up all night waiting for the xbawks to come back because I'm too tired and have to work tomorrow. So, depression.
This is a sad day.
Mine just stopped working altogether for no reason. Was just sitting in a lobby on Aegis Wing one afternoon and I was like "hey, I think I'll play some Rainbow Six!"
Little did I know...
that'd be the 2nd time now? lol
first. I never sent it in because I'm a gigantic fatass.
I bought a new one though. Old one's still sitting on the floor!
woooooooooooooooooow
You should fix it. :cool:
yeah, I was thinking about making one of the 'boxes a dedicated Rainbow Six server.
which probably isn't a good idea considering my connection blows.
do it
smash router
then just do it
find hammer
I remember my buddies and I managed to get an out-of-date server from our school a few years ago, and used to it to host UT2004 matches.
****suxed more than if we used a player to host.
oh scotland
should I smash the gamecube? It's almost worthless.
hell naw
then why bother finding the hammer
you can mail it to me so I can smash my router.
good idea
or to be less obvious, send me your router when your dad is away for a few days, I'll let it sit out in -40 degree weather for awhile, then send it back.
I was thinking of destroying it via mysterious voltage spike, but that could work.
it'll work. Trust me.
it's in the mail.
hello kitty items enclosed.
aw heck yeah!
yes.
now i need to find out if they're hiring.
Just call them. Bet you have the number handy, amirite
well, they don't do delivery. But I can find their number for sure. Wanna wait until i can record it for laughs.
oh man, gotta upload it
we should put our two broken boxes together and make a SUPER XBOX that'd be sweet
The ultimate terrorist hunting device.
k so my xbawks arrived at the centre in Ontario (Celestica) on the 24th. And nothing else since has happened. wtf?
hey guys wanna play halo 3 lol
I HAVE A ONE MONTH SUBSCRIPTION YEAH
:(
I thought your roommate had a subscription.
No, his ended in October
same with mine
dude, just buy the full year subscription. Worth it. Then we can fusion dance.
that is a lot of money that i don't have
Oh, good. Perfect time for it to break. I was getting worried that you were gaining on me with the points while I was away.
I wasn't even able to get halfway. :(
and one year sub is like, $50. Save those pennies!
Don't play dumb, Vamp. I see right through your Xbawks-hoarding strategy! SOON ALL SHOOTAN IN THE WORLD WILL BE YOURS
Yeah, the address I sent it to was in North York, Ontario.
dude lolin I'd buy you a subscription.
if I had the money.
Hey Lisa, get on MSN!
:cool:
You had to pay extra? That's gay. I thought the only one we had was in Ontario.
Yeah, it was like 200 bucks total. No free shipping or nothing. So I was like, why the **** would I pay 200 dollars for a refurb when I can get a new one for another 100? But that was back before they had that warranty.
Ohh. Still, really gay. H8 microsoft.
Purolator website still hasn't said anything since the 24th so I think I'll call them later today. XBAWKS WITHDRAWAL
This thread reminds me that I still have an Xbox to send in! : /
You should JUST DO IT. When you phone just explain that they've ****ed up so many times and if they do it again you'll kill yourself.
I'll just send MS a giant box of anthrax.
[quote=cats;798999]dude lolin I'd buy you a subscription.
if I had the money.
Hey Lisa, get on MSN!
lol, it's cool, I'll get a job one of these days and pay for a year's worth of gold
I'm still living off my backpack so you guys win one for my absence.
Are you still in Japan?
xbox support said mine was sent out yesterday so it should be here maybe tomorrow or Monday. Hopefully. It only took like, two days for my original to get there.
you'll probably get it on Wednesday! :mew:
better not!
huh, that didn't take long at all. it took longer for you to actually call them up then it did for them to fix it.
lol. it better not get 'lost' or anything. I'll have to kill myself then.
oh all the xbawkes that go through the mail, that'd suck pretty hard if they decided to steal yours :(
oh man, totally gonna happen. Calling it now.
I figure if it made it there fine right before christmas it'll make it back fine.
Alright, so it comes back fine but the refurb doesn't work. Calling it now.
Hm, I'll say it comes back fine and works but breaks a week later.
Somehow, that's almost worse.
hate you, microsoft
oh yeah, much worse. you think you're out of the clear and BAM.
Still though, considering how quickly you got it back, it's not so bad. Most pople have to wait a month if not longer.
oh man, hope it comes today. Haven't even gotten my tv yet wtf.
My refurb works just fine!
<3 Microsoft OH MAN.
I thought you got a brand new one? jeez, never going to get a refurb. I'll just buy another.
Or maybe I'll send in my broken box sometime soon so I'll have a backup.
It's free for you to send, right? Do it and see if you get yours back before me.
Well that's the thing. Back in spring I tried to send mine in and I had to pay for S&H, so I didn't. Not sure if I'd have to pay now or not...
I dunno, they didn't make me pay, and I didn't even have to put up an arguement. Just be a ***** if they want you to pay.
probably because you're a girl : s
suck dick
get box
IT'S THAAAAAAAAAAAAT SIMPLE!
I'd do it.
hell, even I would.
thirding this
maybe if we gangraped major nelson we'd all get one!
yeah, and I sound like a little girl.
Yeah, I could barely understand the guy. I'm like, my name is Lisa. And he's all what!? then gibberish.
Oh man, one time I got this black guy from da hood. Good times.
he'll steal your xbox
and your bike
****
and your woman
He can have her, she's crazy.
**** him. I got dibs.
