Default Finally Got Me 360

YEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHAAAAAAHHHHH !!!!!!!!

One of the lads was in Liverpool this morning and asked in Dixons if they had any X.Box 360`s by chance cos he knew i wanted one......

And guess what........They had just had 4 delivered..

He phoned me and it was like a fookin A-Team operation to get ready and get to Liverpool pronto...

The lad in Dixons had put my name on one but gave me 40 mins max to get there...

Pops drove like the Stig and we made it easy.....


So now thanks to my mate Matty,I am the proud owner of a premium package and PGR3 and NEED for SPEED Most Wanted.........

Cheers Buddy......

The 360's have a problem with the chip overheating

Your all missing the point here, if you buy something, say a TV but you can only operate it if its stood at an angle on wooden floor and be at least 30cm in the air

When you buy something like the 360 you should be able to use and abuse it and never have any problems, it just proves they have rushed it into the shops to cash in on Christmas.

Not had any bother with mine either

I think alot of the problems stem from people putting the power pack in a TV cabinet,like at the back hidden out the way.They need ventilated like most things(PC for example)It says to keep it ventilated.

Anymore Gamertags?

If your console does freeze phone microsoft, mine works perfectly but I know a guy who had one that freezes. Microsoft picked it up and replaced it in 2 days was pretty surprised by the quick service.
