ROD Xbox 360

[UncappedTag]

Anyone know how long MS take to send back your repaired console it's going to Germany? The prospect of longer than a day without COD4 is painful. It's my 7PM 15 minute treat getting in from work.

It can take a while but I've always been lucky and had mine back within 4-5 working days.

I don't know. Mine went pop about 2 days before Xmas

I switched the TV off, got up, drove to town, bought another (Arcade) base unit, came home, plugged it in and off I went. Xmas without Xbox: I think not!

Should get the other sent off I suppose.

You just reminded me that I need to sort out my 360
Stupid thing.....

This is the 2nd one of mine to break. I would buy a PS3 if it was not for the fact of having to complete all the rankings again in COD4.

Buy a brand new 360 arcade for £100 from WH Smith, plop your HDD on top and its good to go.

Exactly what I did, got bored of 2 days without the box so went and bought another. I'm such a lazt I've not even sent my old one to be repaired yet. I want to send the old one in the new box for protection but am a bit concerned it'll get stolen so might wrap it in brown paper or something?

Mine came back in just under 2 weeks.

[Maty]

Same here mine took just under 2 weeks to come back.

I didn't realise you could just buy an arcade one and stick the HDD on it? Is that really the only difference between a normal 360 and the arcade version???

MK4 - they specifically state that faulty units shouldn't be returned in anything resembling Xbox packaging for the very reason they could get half-inched.

Use a jumbo sized Cornflakes box and LOADS of bubble wrap...

It's been dead for months. Ring up tonight.

[DoubleYellow]

I'd say allow for 3 weeks. Anything less is a bonus. You should get a month added to you live subsrciption aswell.

I'm not sure they're ever nicked because the people that come collect them (UPS?), are so used to collecting 360s that they store them in a specific part of their warehouses for mass transport to Germany. They always come and collect them from your hand so its quite unlikely that they'll be nicked.

Thats good to know as it had crossed my mind . Do they send you a code or something, or is it linked to your live account already?

I've got a label to stick on to the package. Admittedly not looked at it too much yet but does it have anumber for me to ring or what?
