Gotcha

Well Gameplay got back to me, they refuse to sort anything out that's over 1 year old. I could easily argue it with them, given Microsoft's own admission that there is an inherent fault with the console, but to be honest I think I'd rather go back to MS for this. They'll at least fix the problem permanantly, whereas if I got a replacement from Gameplay it would likely have the same problem and it may end up broken again in 6 months time. I'll hopefully have a temporary 360 tomorrow to keep me going until I get mine back from MS.

Harsh dude. But you're right, at least you now have a safety net. Turn around is a bit longer at the moment as they've obviously taken in more units since the announcement, but light at the end of the tunnel never the less.

I think I'd be more pissed off if I hadn't discovered some excellent PC games lately to keep me going (Neverwinter Nights 2, Company of Heroes). If I wasn't playing PC games I think I'd have killed someone in Gameplay by now

Where's the 360 loaner coming from?

It's Colin's broken one. I'm going to try taking it back to Curries tomorrow with a copy of the Sale of Goods Act, Peter Moore's letter, and the article confirming the fault with the 360's. It's about 16 months old I think but hopefully armed with them I'll be able to argue a replacement for it there and then. Assuming I manage it, Colin has said I can hold on to it until I get mine back

That sucks

At least you've got a temporary one for now, I wouldn't like to be anyone crossing you in Currys tomorrow

I'm amazed at the turnaround time! Hopefully I'll have it back by the weekend as we've got an easy weekend planned to get ready for the cottage meet

Daz · 01-08-2007, 10:54

Awesome dude, we'll have to partake in a celebratory game of something

Davey_Pitch · 01-08-2007, 10:56

Absolutely. If I've got it back at the weekend expect to see me playing on Friday night, then still playing when you get up on Saturday. I've missed my baby, and all the sodding demos that have been released while I've been without it
