Someone is lending me a spare 360 on Wednesday while the other one is off to Microsoft. My brother wanted to pay for it, which was very nice of him.

Gives me a chance to finally finish Uncharted: Drakes Fortune and then maybe start Uncharted 2.

You're getting me worried now. I haven't even had my elite for a year yet, and mine already sounds like a jet engine (although i've had 2 red rings before now, but a restart sorted it so it couldn't have been that bad).

pb, i've already got my homeplugs, they work fine, just needed a router. At the moment, we've got a ADSL router (which we have to try and flog online) and an ethernet switch. My mum has asked the tech guy in her work what's wrong with the switch, and he's said the switch might be limiting the computer to 1 IP address. Will have instructions from him soon hopefully :)

Well, it is out of my hands now. As soon as there was a cost involved, there really isn't anything I can do.

I had exactly the same problem on my first Elite. It does sound like something trying to take off!

Replace the model with the Arcade and keep the harddrive? Unless you want it in Black?

(or..not toting fraud or anything...pretend you called customer services, use the loyalty card number you have, give a fake till number and transaction number, date, price etc...and then see what happens...but don't say you got it from me... OH...AND DON'T GET CAUGHT!!!! Or just say you had the 3 red lights...3 year warranty :p)

The console that just broke was an Elite and only had it a year and a half.

Surely it's almost as cheap to get an arcade model as a replacement and have a 3 year warranty on it plus get a better more reliable model in the process?

What a joyous weekend I've just been through. Saturday saw my 360 develop an overheating problem (2 red lights). It makes a wonderful noise of something trying to take off inside the console. It won't even load the dashboard now.

Called up today, found out my console was out of warranty and that the repair bill would be £81. If my maths are correct, with my current income as it is, I will need to find....

(add that to that, carry the 1...)

£81

Hmmm, i might try and add a couple of games in i would want rather than a couple i don't

Good thing is, my GF works at Debenhams, and they have a GAME store in there, she gets like 5 or 10% off consoles and 10% off games, so should be able to get more for my money!

Sometimes. Gamestation are flexible on the second hand ones I think.

: D

Got the urge to get my hands on the latest Ratchet & Clank (one of ym all time favourite game series)

Just a quick question, you know when you go instore to get a Console Bundle, how flexible are they on the games you can get?

If you find games of the same value can you normally swap them, might try do a deal lol
