It's worth checking on the xbox support site to see if your xbox is still under warranty. It's 3 years for rrod and E74 problems, and there was another PHer who got his fixed for free that was even older than 3 years. They even prepay for the carriage, so no money needs to change hands...

Let me know if you need any other help with failing whatever course you are supposed to be writing essays for wink

I got really bored of the last one so I'm struggling to summon any excitement for the third instalment.

Unfortunately, I've already voided the warranty of my xbox as a disc that wasn't mine came out of the drive when my buddy picked the xbox up without taking it out of the drive after a cod sesh at a friends house.

I had to get the disc out of there to stop it rolling around and generally being a nuisance frown.

But because I've taken the case off myself and taken off the sticker on the back as it was beyond the normal warranty at the time anyway, it means the lovely people at xbox will flat out refuse to fix it, regardless of the fact I didn't even touch the internals and it's just a standard rrod job... but hey ho... life goes on! smile

However, from all this, I have learnt I will not be buying another xbox!

hmm, I still have severe doubts they will repair an older xbox with no rear warranty sticker and a scratched off serial number.

I really enjoyed the Horde mode from the last one, I remember spending at least 3 hours playing one session all the way to wave 48 smokin (then we died).

I hope they keep this and maybe develop it further.

Fingers crossed it's not as crap as the other two.

Can I just interrupt you for minute player 1 from your immersion in this game to ask you to press one of two paddle keys to decide whether you'd like to walk down a left route or a right route.banghead

Sorry player one, although it may appear that the area you are trying to jump down into is explorable, it's really just there for eye candy, so despite you being a super soldier, you can't climb over a low railing!

haha unfortunately I think the sticker is long gone as I didn't see the point of keeping said sticker as it was well out of original warranty, but oh well! just an excuse to get a ps3 I think now.
