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)

We can hope it took its own life...

Yeah I have heard this. I think it is a bad move though, unless they come up with much bigger memory cards, or use re-writable Blu Ray or something so you can add content to a game after release, extra levels in other words.
After all, the chances of being able to download Paris for PGR2 would not exist if you had to save it to memory cards.
True, the hard drive made it easier to copy games, but not all that much. Burning a DVD is not exactly hard after all. If you can get pirate Gamecube games, then you are just as likely to get pirates of any disc based console.
Another thing that I would miss if the Xbox 2 failed to have a hard drive is the way it can be used in game, like in Halo. OK, so it was not a technique used much, but it did help. I think more games will use the hard drive in future as well.
But the best thing is still that you have 1000 memory cards built in. That rocks.
