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)

If you only keep the backups in case tyhe originals are damaged, how are you making £40 a week on them? A bit of a contradiction there.

AND, how can the originals get damaged if they are stored at your nans? If they are not being used at all, doesn't that render your use of backups illegal?

Nah he just hasn't got the balls to admit he's copying games. He probably has about 3 genuine games.

Na, its more to do with the fact that my parents dislike her, so she never comes round. Because she never comes round i never go round.
Havnt seen her for years, and i couldnt care less.

Though how anyone can have "issues" with a grandparent is beyond me. Are you really that offensive?
