"My baby"

My beloved xbox passed away last night, well the cd-rom did any way.
Wont recgonize any games or films atall, just says no disk.

It's off to my mates tonight to try and be rapaired, but he said i was either looking at £70 for a new cd-rom, or i may have to buy a new one.

When i spent like £150 on the xbox i expected it to last alot longer then 14 months.

Any of you had any problems with the xbox?

(This is the first problem i have ever had with it)

Console Concepts was the previous name of Another World (in Stoke in Trent) that's been bugging me for days.

Ah well if it is that one then it was a good shop in those days, he sold off all the old promo stuff for hardly anything.

All?

Anywhoo bored of this now, i couldnt give a crap what you think to be honest.
Wont be looking in here again so no point in replying to this post.

Only used Dream Machines mail order, never ventured north of Watford in those days.

I remember them, they were the ones in the Eagle centre that aren't there now. That place on the balcony at the indoor marketplace still has import stuff today. Not got a clue about the place Another World took over though.

remember Dream Machines or Dream Machines 2 - in Derby I think they were, got lots of import SNES games from them and the company that now is anotherworld.co.uk - forgotton their old name

Thats the boy, that big chunky grey thing that had to be rattled around to get it to work, once it got worn. I only paid 30 quid for SS2 though, as I knew the importer. :)

I remember paying £90 for Street Fighter Turbo (JPN version) on the SNES, 1992 maybe ?, played it on a UK SNES via a £15 adaptor (where you plugged a UK cart in the back)

Happy days.

Of course. I rememeber doing the same type of thing to play "Super Street Fighter 2" on the SNES when It was first released. Its been a long, long time since I owned a console. :)

Xbox, I bought it second hand, sure paid a bit extra for a chipped one but obviously it can play USA/JPN games also.

PS2, similar thing, wanted to be able to play USA/JPN games, this can be done with flip lid case - a flip lid case will NOT play 95% of copied games by the way, unless the total size of the files on the CD/DVD is less than 550mb.
