JackFetch Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Your normal warranty is out. However, Microsoft pretty much covers red rings indefinitely. Just wrap your 360 in a blanket, leave it on over night, and you'll have yourself a red ring. Just call Microsoft first, just to be safe though. That wouldn't work since they don't send you a new system. They would fix the red ring, and I would be right back where I am now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 They sent me a "Refurbished" console just a few months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 They sent me mine back when my first console red ringed. If I was an asshole I would trade it in at gamestop. It turns on and loads games so they would never know. I'm not an asshole though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 They sent me mine back when my first console red ringed. I actually got one red light (the E74 error), and they sent me a refurbished console. If you red-ring it, they might end up replacing the part that's making it freeze on you. Worth a try, anyway.

JackFetch Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 The only problem I see is how to get it hot enough. It freezes when a game is going and it won't get hot enough just on the dashboard, even with a towel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Put a live game on, leave it paused. Or just send it, they didn't check mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It freezes when a game is going and it won't get hot enough just on the dashboard, even with a towel. Cover it in at least three towels, making sure to cover all the air holes. Put it outside in the sun if you have to. As long as it's turned on (doesn't even need to be playing a game), it should redring eventually. I'd try leaving it on all day long like that, every day until it dies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Nothing pisses me off more than watching kids unattended because their parents don't want to watch them. Case in point, the kids that just threw a ball through a window at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 So, my roommate's girlfriend a few weeks back chews me out for using some of her bread. I go to make dinner today and my entire bottle of Italian dressing is gone. I had barely used any of it and I know my other roomie wouldn't have used it all up so that leaves her and the boyfriend. So, I have to walk the half hour to the grocery right now so I can pick up a new bottle and a black marker so I can start labeling my stuff.

Guest DCAUFan1051 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I just found out that the local rock station here has been reformatted into FM Talk ugh that's what AM is for damnit!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Back home in Clear Lake, (we have better radio in Ripon) our only Alternative Rock station was reformatted over the summer to a "Bob" station, which is a cute way of saying, "We're sick of playing DJs, we're just going to put our iTunes on shuffle, and see what happens." I was heartbroken. In short, I feel your pain, DCAU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DCAUFan1051 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Thanks Preston... really I don't listen to radio that much anymore, but knowing that it's there is awesome. I used to listen to said station in the car with my mom all the time. But to know that fraggin talk radio is taking over FM is godawful to me.

Guest DCAUFan1051 Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 So I ordered lunch through papa johns online and they call me to tell me they have no 2 liters of diet coke. They ask if they can bring me 4 20oz bottles instead..... uh no find a way to bring me what the fuck I paid for! It should have said on the website that my local store that delivers to me didn't have any. But nooooo that would make too much goddamn sense!!

Venneh Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 They don't keep track of that online, DCAU. The online ordering has no way to know what the store does/doesn't have stock of. And if they were offering you the 4 20 ozes instead and for no extra charge, you're getting about the same, or slightly more than you would have.

dc20willsave Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Few places have true live inventories. The only ones that do are huge online stores where all they have people who's job is just to refresh what's available or not. Still, at least they called to ask you rather than just auto-subbing. Even if you get something better, auto-subbing can be kinda annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I'm starting to regret buying the play station... 220 bucks down the drain. :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 One should be able to take a shower without being in an inch of backed-up water because the drain doesn't work properly by the end of fifteen minutes. The bathroom here is the only place that you can really tell that this used to be a frat dorm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Well, first major stumbling block for ZTHURN: AMJ. Ripon turned down our application to use model weapons in filming. So, in short, no guns. On the plus side, I've edited the script, and it really does add a sense of danger, as all combat has become close combat. It works really nicely, actually, so even though I'm a bit bummed, it may actually be a blessing in disguise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 While in line to buy Scribblenauts some random guy told me "you know there is already a version of that on the DS". I have had two DS's and a DSi so I was confused by this. His wife/sister said "he's the gaming lord", and I actually couldn't help but laugh thinking this is going to be fun. I said I have had a DS before and have no idea what he means. He said "the DS has a chat program called Pictochat", and I laughed again explaining this isn't a chat game and went about my business laughing the whole time. A so called "gaming God" that has never heard of the most anticipated game of the year for the DS, and actually confused it with Pictochat. If you are going to go out of your way to annoy me, at least know what the fuck you are talking about. This is the reason I wear headphones while shopping. Most people have no clue what they are talking about, and I don't want to listen to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always take the time to calmly and intelligently explain to them why they are wrong. I don't shove it in their face, but the sheer shame of being wrong when they were so sure they were right is enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 I have work to be done for monday. It's not the doing the work part, that is the problem with me, it's the sitting down and getting it started that is always the problem.
