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)

Ok, i didnt want to tell you but i will:

i am undercover, investigating the matter of coppying games.
Once fully investigated i must hold onto the games and see if playing them constantly will effect them in any way.

What can i say, i think they may be better off because people like me would find it slightly (yes only slighly) harder to coppy games, but one of the reasons i went for Xbox was because of the HDD and i didnt have to worry about memory cards and how many blocks games took up.

It was the fire after the flood that finally killed them off :P

I live on the East coast right near the sea and a very big lake, during this winter season when it snowed alot, the melting of the snow caused flooding in the area that she lives it.
All games were wrecked.
