i paid £1200 for my HDLCD and that was 3 months ago.. now you can get it for under a grand.. i feel so ripped off. :-(
Lol I got lucky by paying £777 for my monitor on ebay, they were £1500 at the time. Note that they're now £860. I'm glad I didn't pay full price!
lol, wow, some elaborite setups, high tech, and some messy ones, intersting thread, but I never saw so many permanent suspensions on one thread, what the hell was that all about.
It doesn't really bother me knowing how much money I could have saved then if I would have waited and bought it. But it bothers me that I could have gotten a 1080p LCD 46" for the same price as my 42" 720p plasma.
Wow!!! You actually have a working 360??? Mine has been dead since january and I have sent it in for repair 10 times and it has came back dead on arrival all 10 times!
Why am I sceptical of that statement? I think 10 times is probably an exaggeration Domreis. Ours still works, I'd photo it, but it's currently hooked up to my parents' TV, which is OK I suppose, but nothing special (Sharp Aquos LC26GA5E) Tybro, you broke the golden rule! Not to have bigger speakers than your TV!
I'd say his are 15" woofer, maybe 20" TV. However I'm no where close either with satellite speakers and a 42" TV. If somebody wants to come over and help me clean up my setup I'll post a picture, I'm just too lazy to clean.
No it is not an exaggeration... I have been sent 9 refurbished units and all have been dead on arrival... and with my original that makes 10 units... (when I say dead on arrival I mean not fully functional, e.g. freezes, wont load games ect.) I have been fighting with M$ since january 14th!
What I'm about to tell you may or may not come as a surprise, given your experience: All replacement Xboxes are refurbished broken ones, and since MS aren't too great at reparing them, they usually still have issues. The best thing I can recommend you do is to sell off your broken one (or claim a refund from where you bought it given your experience with the replacements) and then buy a brand new one (preferably from another store to avoid embarrassment) that way you'll get an updated version that doesn't suffer the glitches of the older models. Very few 360s are perfect, but it'd be far better to settle for one with as few issues as possible. Ours can't read half of PGR3 (the disc is immaculate) but that's just what we've had to accept, since most of the other stuff works.
Mine has worked flawlessly since I got it a year and a half ago, just until the other day when I had a problem getting past a race in Forza Motosport 2, the game freezes and it's unable to read the disk (although it is new with no scratches). But I've heard this is a problem with the game itself not my 360. I figure if my 360 can handle the 1 hour endurance races then it can't be that bad. My test for my 360 will be when halo 3 comes out and I play it constantly, then we'll see how long it last.
I expect ours will be subjected to that! As for the disc, possibly, but it seems true of several games. Can you name a game on any other format that has issues like that? I can't think of one...
