nah, its not an elite.. its a face plate that was came with it when i bought it.

According to the manufacture date on the console, it lasted 1 year and 4 months before meeting with the Red Ring of Death... I guess that's a good amount of time. It was only in -my- possession for less than 2 months though.

Apparently that is a popular poster...

It definately is a popular poster.. it has the basic shapes for a just about every popular chord you can play on a guitar. It's a handy reference until you learn some musical theory and start building your own chords instead.

That sucks... but if the thing is not hacked you can send it to microsoft. Some people says that the best thing is to buy 2 360... but then what would you do with the savegames...

@fleet

the rrod warranty is 3 years, which means that launch consoles are covered until until 2008, so i'm good as far as time goes, however, since I bought it 2nd hand I don't have the original receipt for it. I really hope Microsoft isn't going to be a bitch about this.

aw man, that sucks.

Mine was a launch console and it RRoDed a few months ago. Funnily enough, I have a bunch of friends who all still have working launch consoles, and use theirs constantly.

Hopefully MS wont stuff you around, but I have a feeling they won't bother really. Anyways Good Luck!

are you ready hey are you ready for this
are you hanging on the edge of your seat
out of the doorway the bullets rip
to the sound of the beat yeah

another one bites the dust
another one bites the dust
and another one gone and another one gone
another one bites the dust
hey i'm gonna get you too
another one bites the dust

how do you think i'm going to get along
without you when you're gone
you took me for everything that i had
and kicked me out on my own

are you happy are you satisfied
how long can you stand the heat
out of the doorway the bullets rip
to the sound of the beat look out

another one bites the dust
another one bites the dust
and another one gone and another one gone
another one bites the dust
hey i'm gonna get you too
another one bites the dust

@007

despite the lack of depth in that picture, there is in fact a good 6 inches between the back of mr. xbox and the wall. Am i supposed to have it on a pedestal in the middle of an empty room or something?

@countingconflict
what do i plan on playing? Orange box is going to keep me amused for a while... and then I'll sit in a corner and cry until a package with a new 360 arrives at my door.

Yes dopefish, you're supposed to have it in a room alone away from the tv and other sources of heat, that's the reason you get wireless controllers.
tehdopefish's Avatar - Comment posted on 10/19/2007 13:23
tehdopefish
OOOOOOOOOOOOOH OK. It's a good thing I just built that spare bedroom into a perfectly climate controlled environment, and hired a team of 10 scientists to monitor it 24/7 to make sure my 360 doesn't over heat.

blaming the failure of a console that has a 40% failure rate on the user is bullshit. I treated my xbox better than I have ever treated any other console or any of my computers.
