One day.

One smegging day after a repair.

I've just started getting into Backgammon, I've preordered Bioshock and today I put in the code for the month's extension to Live that came back with the box after the previous 'repair'.

I'm not happy

I should think you're not. Worst of all it's Friday and I doubt you'll be able to give Microsoft hell until Monday.

Have you turned it off & on again

Sorry for your Loss dude.

MS are open tomorrow, I'll be on the phone when I get up, the odd thing is that it didn't feel particularly warm.

I was pondering the idea of going and buying one from Argos and taking it back a couple of days later for a refund with some excuse, but it's exempt from the 30 day no quibble returns policy

Malc, yes, three times

Damn thats ******* unlucky

These things break far too easily. Did it see a PS3 and panic?

Try Tesco or Asda then, they're no really likely to check things like serial numbers etc so you should have no trouble getting your money back there.

Sucks though

As it's 4 lights and not 3 I don't think it's covered by the 3 year waranty either.

Tesco do a similar thing? Is that definite? If so, I'll be there tomorrow.

And it's three lights, top right isn't glowing.

Davey_Pitch · 18-08-2007, 01:34

Ah, looked like all 4 in that picture.

And I'm sure Tesco couldn't really refuse a refund if you bought a faulty product. You could always go down to the store and check for a disclaimer of some kind before buying one.

I'm more concerned that they'd try and force a replacement on me. It's a bit dodgy to take back a games console after a few days and ask for a refund because I'd have had to buy at least one game and not to want a replacement console means wasting the game.

Although, that's nothing to do with them anyway, it's none of their business. All I'd be doing is "I bought this three days ago, it's started flashing three lights at me, take the damn thing back and give me a refund" *poke*
