Conspiracy_Victim 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2008 Yeah my XBox melted down after 20 minutes of DMC4. I'm hoping it's the game's fault so they'll have to fix it for free, but I know the odds of that are about nil. At least I've still got my Playstation until I get some cash together.

Conspiracy_Victim 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2008 Nah, just the lower right one. I've already been 3 ringed. What a circus. *rimshot* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Young 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2008 People are going to bash me for this, but what else is new? Question- How easy/difficult would it be for me to go to Wal-Mart (same store/location I bought my 360 from), buy a new one, toss the broken one in the box, keep the new one, and get my money back with an exchange? Yes, I am impatient, and don't want to wait 2-3 weeks for MS customer service, which is horrible anyway. Also, I am not too fond of this store or its management. Finally, the first 360 console I got from there was red ringed right out of the box, and someone suggested that the person who bought it before had done exactly what I ask about in this thread.

Dandy 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2008 I think they would take it out of the box and check the serial number, Matt, which might land you in some trouble for fraud. I bought a wireless router a few years back that did not work. I returned it, and the serial number on the box did not match the number on the router. They would not let me return it. I'm not sure if the numbers were a mistake of the company, or if someone got away with returning a different router. Whatever the reason, it is likely they would check to make sure you returned the same one you bought, especially considering the price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Young 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2008 I doubt they would remove it from the box, though, since it will still be "sealed". I would just peel up the sticker and affix it back down onto the box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dandy 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2008 You might get away with it, who knows? I'm not sure I would risk it. I think they would check the contents of the box on a return of that pricy of an item. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Young 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2008 I'd completely agree if it was opened, but to their knowledge it wouldn't be. I know others who have done it. Guess I'll have to try it and find out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2008 I don't know about Wal-Mart, but I know when I bought my 360 at Circuit City they scanned the S/N tag inside it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Young 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2008 My last one wasn't scanned. The part of the box that covers the serial number is perforated but not opened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2008 Wal-Mart's pretty stupid when it comes to exchanges and returns...it may just work. Personally, I wouldn't risk it. You can probably buy a USED one at Gamestop and return your broken one. I did that with Guitar Hero 2. I bought the guitar and game used from a different place, the disc was garbage, bought a new disc there, returned the shitty one and got my money back. May not work on a system though, but might be worth it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Broward83 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2008 For those people that enjoy a good dungeon crawler: Arkadian Warriors. Good little game with the options of playing as a warrior, an archer or a sorceress. Each can transform into their "alter ego" (Lion, Dragon, Phoenix.. respectively) by dealing enough damage to the enemies. I've got my Archer up to level 13 I think and am having a blast. There's XBL compatibility for those that want don't want to crawl alone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conspiracy_Victim 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2008 I played the demo and it did seem like a lot of fun. Whenever I get my Box fixed and have some extra points (after Rock Band and Mass Effect downloads) I'll probably download the full version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jer 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2008 Nah, Centaurs aren't broken. They're barely even better than Lizardmen. Now Magma Armor in a green/red deck or Storm Armor in a blue/yellow deck, that's broken. Someone online played a Storm Armor late in the game for +180/+130. Come on, that's not even fair.

CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2008 Three things. Incredibly, asking these on Gamefaqs became a flame war. 1) I also brought this up in the HDTV folder. My buddy claims my tv is "junk" on the grounds that it only has 1080p input, and not output. He bases that on his claim that "360 only has 720p signal, it has to output a 1080p signal". True? Though I've never really looked, I haven't seen too many tv's that had component or HDMI out... 2) Does the 360 upconvert on it's own, or just with the HD-DVD add-on? I understand it's gotta be done via HDMI or VGA. 3) Finally, I've also heard claims that a network card for WiFi on computers will do the same trick as this. Though I just answered my own question, I always thought it connected via ethernet, and not USB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
