The Old XBOX Megathread

[Your Mom]

Ok I cant find anything. It's the first Mass Effect and it's happened in a different spot now. Everytime I drive the Mako into combat on a different planet the controller disconnects.

[Your Mom]

So it's the controller I guess since it's now done it in Madden. Freaking strange that it did in the same spot 3 different times in Mass Effect though

[Ruki]

How much are new controllers going for now? Still insanely high?

[EddieRuckus]

50 for wireless, less if you get the one that just connects to the console via USB chord. Still, it's *somewhat* better than the 60 they were when it first came out(if I remember correctly.)

[NobBe Nobbs]

I sent my 360 away because there was a fault with the laser.

It came back, repaired.

I rejoiced.

This afternoon, I tried to play some Mass Effect.

The fault had returned.

I cried.

They are $29.99 on Amazon

...Well that is awesome, know where I'll buy controllers from now on.

So I'm playing through Bioshock, and I'm on the Neptune's Rapture level, about to leave it and show my splicer photos to that nice young fellow who wanted me to take them in the first place. When it comes to the level boundary, it tells me that I've not harvested/saved all the little sisters, and it'd be wise to go back and do it for the Adam boost. Now I've killed all three Rosie's on the level, and saved two of the little sisters, yet the third one's no where to be found. I've killed her Rosie, but yeah, she's not hanging about around it like the others, and I can't see her anywhere else in the level.

Glitch or what?

XBOX IS BACK

[Ruki]

Boo!

[DYSI]

Hmm, so I got the red ring and I don't feel like buying another 360. Does anyone know if the towel trick works or would it just last for a couple days? Any other helpful tips would work to, aside from welding or what have you..

[Ruki]

Useful tip #1: Call Microsoft, get it fixed, problem solved.

Useful tip #2: Go to Wal-Mart, buy 360, switch them out, return and get money back, problem solved.

[King Ellis]

What were you planning on welding it to, a PS3?

[LL!]

What were you planning on welding it to, a PS3?

I'm gonna try this at home.

[DYSI]

Well there's some sort of way to repair it that involves welding. I've also heard the towel wrap idea, something involving gluing pennies..., amongst another stuff.

I would do the Wal-Mart suggestion but I assume most people would check Serial #'s, atleast they do where I work at. Then I'd end up purchasing a 360, which isn't my goal.

[Ruki]

Then send it off to be repaired. I did it, Fitzy did it, Ellis did it, Rocksta did it....

[LL!]

I, too, did it! But otherwise, it could be past warranty, Ruki.

[Ruki]

Didn't all Xbox's get a 3 year extended warrenty? How old is it?

And I forgot you got RRoD'd.

[Fitzy]

Mine never red ringed.

[Meacon Keaton]

Mine has twice.
