RE: PS 3's about to go on Pre order. - woody - 08-06-07
Woolworths kicks ass
Fuck paying that though mate, you're right to fight it. Why should you have to pay to have faulty goods repaired? Trading Standards would have a field day, warranty or not.
Pretty sure it's Woolworths that will cop it really cos it's up to them to provide you with a refund or exchange and then chase it with thier suppliers (microsoft) to get thier losses back
I think
RE: PS 3's about to go on Pre order. - Sooper - 09-06-07
Your right Woody and i apologised to the Manager of Woolworths in advance of what is now going to happen explaining that my beef wasnt with them at all but with Microsoft but i have no choice now but to follow the protocol of demanding a repair or replacement from where it was supplied from which is of course Woolworths.
I am going to send to Woolies along with my letter loads of documentation relating to this scandelous problem highlighting just how big it really is and may get bigger. A Microsoft spokesman spoke with the Woolworths manager and told him that the faulty 360's were only sold in the US and the "Ring of Doom" problem had never happened in Europe or the Uk! A blatant lie but i wasnt surprised.
The Saga continues!
RE: PS 3's about to go on Pre order. - woody - 27-08-07
I thought this thread needed resurrecting!
I'm sure you know sooper but microsoft have just announced all consoles with the ring of doom thing are gonna get fixed under warranty so hope you get it sorted if not done so already!
And, thanks to my wonderful lady,I got a 360 for my birthday a couple of weeks ago so we need more console chat! I'm currently rinsing Forza 2 and it's damn good I have to say, if you are into your cars you have to get this game.
What's good for the 360 then fellas? I'm tempted by that Lost Planet? And Bioshock looks wicked too! Obviously gonna get Halo 3 and GTA 4 when they drop too!
RE: PS 3's about to go on Pre order. - mr.pure - 27-08-07
Just about to get Bioshock.
Lost Planet and Gears of War are must players, really excellent games.
Lost Planet especially for you cos you get to fight round Manchester city centre (ish).
RE: PS 3's about to go on Pre order. - woody - 28-08-07
No way! sounds good! Might well have to pick that up then, payday this week so it's all good!
Bioshock is tempting though for sure, read a couple of reviews and it sounds damn good.
RE: PS 3's about to go on Pre order. - Sooper - 28-08-07
Woody, i did manage to get my 360 repaired for free in the end because Microsoft finally acknowledged that there was a fatal flaw in the 360, so i saved £85 which made me happy!
Bioshock is very good but is only a single player, theres no On-Line which put a few people off.
If you want On-line fun i would suggest Battlefield II or Halo 2, especially as Halo 3 is about to drop and it would bring you up to speed on how it works and runs etc.
Crackdown is a good game to and i love Splinter Cell, and Rainbow Six Vegas if you like shootin' bad men! Also theres Oblivion which is a massive game and very addictive. Some of the older games are still better than the newer ones in my opinion! Let us know what you try out!
RE: PS 3's about to go on Pre order. - woody - 28-08-07
Aah good man, glad you got it sorted out in the end, they were having a laugh charging £85 to fix what is clearly a massive hardware fault!
Not got Xbox Live yet as I can't find out how it actually works anywhere, I'm thinking you have to buy a router? That's gonna be expensive! Is it a case of just buy a router and plug the xbox into it and then buy the package and it works?
I've got the Splinter Cell games on the Xbox and I love em so I'll pick up the double agent one for sure, the graphics always looked amazing even on the Xbox so I can see it looking spot on with a 360. What type of game is oblivion? I'll have to egt to Game and get some pre-owned cheapness!
RE: PS 3's about to go on Pre order. - Sooper - 28-08-07
Which type of Internet connection have you got Woody?
Getting hooked up to Live should be easy but i know some ISP's work better than others and it is nearly always down to the model of the Router.
RE: PS 3's about to go on Pre order. - woody - 28-08-07
Broadband with BT at the moment, not sure on the speed, half a meg I think?
So you need the cable to plug the xbox into the router, the router obviously and then you just plug the phone line into the router yeah?
I've never been too hot with networking and all that
RE: PS 3's about to go on Pre order. - Sooper - 28-08-07
Well your in luck as i am partly a Network engineer!
So you have ADSL then thats a shame but it will still work ok, Is your modem/router a BT Voyager by any chance? If so that also may be a problem as there were some compatibilty issues with the Voyagers unless BT have sorted this?
Your speed will not make any difference to the gaming despite what people claim. I was on a 512 package when Broadband first started and i played live on the old Xbox without a problem.
All i did if my memory serves me correctly is connect my modem/router to the console with a Cat5 cable and bingo that was about it, i do hear of many people who have had prolems with Mac codes and other Config problems but each time i have set it up it has worked without any problems. Xbox support lines are pretty helpful. If you need to get a router make sure it is capable of being a gaming router, many are not and it pays to do your homework. I think Microsoft had recommended routers on their website not that long ago?
