Although that warranty doesn't cover everything. Only specific faults.

I covers the ring of death, doesnt it ?
I wouldn't expect them to repair it for free if you spill soda on it.

 

[siddharth2002]

Covers ring of death I think, but if any other fault say, from a power surge- not covered.

O good, thats all i can say...

Well Anyways, Xbox is in medival stage.It's neither good nor bad.PS3 Simply suc*s where as it's GFX help it to move forward in the market.But,Xbox's GFX are not bad at all.Only thing is the controllers are bad.well,The Two consoles quarrel between themselves.but,they are no where near Nintendo Wii.

Lol, yes, the Nintendo wii with its 10 minutes of fun, 10 months of dust collecting. Nothing worth owning has really come out since launch, with Trauma Centre being the best game in 7 months, which comes out friday. Once the Wii gets some decent, non party games, it will be a cracking system, but until then it has nothing on the 360 or PS3.

Exactly, hopefully they bring out a decent cricket game, that would be awesome.

Tell me How do you play games on 360 ? Insert the game CD/DVD and direct play or Insert the game CD/DVD Save it on the HDD and play.

Bit of a strange question. You can just pop in a disc and fire up the game - as far as I know you can't save games onto the hard drive.

 

[Notts til i die]

Soooo simple put the disc in and the game boots up

 

[MattW]

So much for the Elite's only exclusive addition (as the HD can be gotten separately)

Microsoft's hot X-Box cock-up exposed

By Nick Farrell: Friday 10 August 2007, 07:54
JAPAN-BASED Nikkei Electronics magazine hired a "thermal expert" to look under the lid of a an X-Box 360 to see what the Vole was doing to fix the beast.

In the style of all mechanics everywhere it looks like he took in a deep breath at an unfixed machine, breathed out slowly threw his teeth, shook his head and said "It's knackered mate."

The bloke said that the temperature gap on the board at room temp was 22 degrees C which is about 10 degrees C hotter than industry norms.

For some reason the fan was about half the size of a desktop PC's in a bid to reduce the noise, but that would make things heat up a bit too.

The un-named expert said that the heatsink on the graphics LSI is so small it is unlikely to really cool down the board. Microsoft had to shrink the graphics LSI heatsink so that the DVD drive could be placed above it.

This was going to make things really cook. Sure enough five minutes after booting up a game, the graphic LSI heat sink temp rose to 70 degrees C. Soon it was really cooking. If the machine was being used in a hot room, or the vents got a bit of dust in them, the heatsink would possibly hit 100 degrees C.

Now you would think that the heatsink would be something that Vole would want to do something about pretty pronto. Well apparently not.

When the thermal expert had a look at a fixed machine he was surprised that it didn't have a new heatsink or seem to tackle any of the thermal problems that the Xbox 360 seems to suffer from.
