Your house will be fine. It used to only take a week to get your 360 back, but it's probably longer now.
no, but youll just fuck up your 360 even more
ah well, can't fuck it up much more than it not working i suppose.
damned consoles made out of paper machee and chicken wire.
I don't own one , but i've heard bad things about doing the "Towel Trick"!
king3vbo is right it'll mess it up. & it might pop out a couple roast beef sandwiches.
Yah just send it in, but FYI it takes 4-6 weeks usually to get it back, unless you live near their repair center... and I dont know where that is, so that was pointless :P
Sorry bout your luck. Im on my 3rd or 4th. I stopped counting...
I had heard a lot of horror stories recently about repair times taking forever, then my Xbox got the red lights on the 6th, my box showed up on the 11th, I mailed it out the same day, and now UPS is saying it will be delivered on the 24th. So in my case it hasn't been that bad, just under 3 weeks.
i live in ireland, which isn't technically very close to mexico.
i have the bastard all towelled up as we speck, watched cheapy d doin' it on youtube.
stay tuned.
and if i dont make it, tell my girlfriend i showed her strained indeference.
tell my girlfriend i showed her strained indeference.
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
must learns to spell ( or proof read).
Toweltrick is the worst internet advice in the history of internet advise. Internet.
What is it about everybody except me losing systems? I have owned launch day systems on practically everything (GC, PS2, PS1, Wii, 360, N64) and I have not had a SINGLE system die on me. I play all of them at least a few hours a week, with extremely extended periods on some (MGS2 on PS2 anyone?)
Guess I am just lucky....
I sent mine in about a week ago and I just called and they said that the earliest it would ship is on thursday. I dunno when it will actually come back, but the guy sounded like he meant it.
try the penny trick too...
hey thanks crimsonblade, that really helps.
I laughed because it was funny, but your grammar can't be worse than mine.
IT'S UNPOSSIBLE.
either the penny trick, or some shit involving mirrors, lit candles and chanting.
time to unwrap the concole/incendiary device.
oh, i can already feel the salty grit of dissapointment congeal in my throat as we speak
concole?
fuck me.
Not with an avatar like that.
touche.
i remeber the day my ps1 died
we tried every thing to play tony hawk 2 and then my friend just turned it on upside down and the gaming shortly followed
i also had a dual shock controller that didnt work whe it was cold so i sat it on a heat vent and then it worked fine
When I red ringed, the towel trick worked once and only once. So I would suggest saving it (the trick)for when you have the time to game for a while because that might be your last time for a month and a half.
Believe it or not this worked for me, but just once.
oh crap, malformed video id, guess you get to copy pasta http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIARuzFOExc
K so then, don't read the trick, don't fix your xbox... Glad I tried helping!
sorry jesus.
i did read it, but when it comes to glue guns and the like, well fraqnkly fuck that shit.
towels are nice and lo-fi.
it worked too.
i'm pretty sure my piece o shit is on its last legs so when the fuxzzy logic starts to waver, worry not i will bust out all sorts of glue, pennies, fuckin vodoo, whatever it takes.
no but ted will
