ahh man I feel for you, mine RROD'd once, and had a disc drive error too. Problem was on the disc drive error, they sent it back still broken.:mad: I've been running clean since then, I checked out the specs of my console and it looks like they replaced mine with one of the newer patched versions, which also had a new kind of disc drive.:)

But going for a PS3 Slim isn't a bad idea either, I think I might get one anyway down the line, so I can pretty much play any good game that comes out.:cool:

As I once said to Lord-Tuinboy,

I am sorry your Xbox died in the feild of gaming.

I feel how weak and fruitless of any words of mine that would attempt to beguile you from the greif of a loss so overwhelming.

I can only say that you should be proud that your Xbox sacrificed itself to keep you happy and entertained for all these wonderful years.

...piece of crap!

I have never heard a more beautiful way of consoling a fallen Xbox... tears came to my eyes :P

Seriously. And, to the guy in Germany, it is fairly fast here, but they are saying that my warranty is expired so i would have to pay 100 freaking dollars!!! That is RIDICULOUS!!

The reason I don't go to PS3 is:

A) I have no money

B) I like XBL

C) GT5 isn't that great compared to Forza, IMHO

D) I have no money

I'll be thinking about getting a PS3 when I get my income taxes back. But a TV is #1 on the wishlist.

Same here, i got my console in 06 and my standerd warranty expird 07 but they said that the warranty was for 3 years with the 3 red flashing lights. But they still want $99 and my credit card No. That dont sound right.

Yeah, that is exactly what they are saying to me, but they said it ended in '08 but that was when I last sent a console in. I'm going to call them tomorrow and just bitch my way into getting what I want... I can only assume that will work ;)
