So ya, it finally rrod on me!

Post by Scarface »

Console date, sept. 4, 2006. Got the single red light and E 74 error. Called up MS, 3-6 weeks repair or full replacement if they can't fix it. Question tho, will i be able to just go buy an arcade edition and swap my 120gb hdd onto it no problem? I'll still be sending my old one away tho.

Mine died the other day as well

Had it from release so I was kind of gutted to see it go. BUT my new Elite is so much quieter :D

what amidy said
you want to transfer the licenses tho. be careful, you can only do this once a year and the repair service automatically does this for you if they send you a new one

So I just went out and bought MW2, came home, turned the xbox on, 3 FUCKING RED LIGHTS! I'm so pissed. I knew it would happen, but it couldn't have happened at a worse time. Fucking fuck.

So if I borrowed my buddy's xbox and stuck my hdd on it while mine is being repaired, would this fuck up my Live account? You're saying they automatically transfer my account to a new xbox if they send me a new one?

Mine E-74'd on me last night as well. :( This is my 4th console to break down on me so I'm starting to feel like M$ can suck my nuts. It'll be two weeks before I get my console back... Can't harass DM for playing his faggy games anymore.

they transfer your DRM licenses.
you can log in on any xbox in the world with your own account, regardless of hdd or anything else.

use the recover gamertag function to redownload your accountsettings. if you'd have any achievements not yet uploaded to xbox.com you'd have to re-earn them. if your old xbox was always connected to the internet theres notihng to worry about

I received an email saying they're sending me an Xbox 360 Exchange Pro. Does this mean they weren't able to repair mine, so they're sending me a new one? Or refurbished? What exactly is the Exchange Pro?
