Ah crap, try your luck with virgin and the CC statement. Just tell them for the first year your contract is with the seller not MS.

Yup, being from southend and occasionally wearing a hoodie - they will auto think im trying to pull a fast one - so want a print out of proof the link provided i got a page not found thing though

- im gonna take the HDD with me but have it seperate see if they notice - and then return the unussed one instead as ive tried it without the HDD in and it still locks up.

/edit

Stupid online banking only goes back to August 06!

/me hunts for statements

Lloyds wanna charge £6 for a copy statement, online banking dont go that far back - i dont have the paper statement as its shredded - the receipt is missing - so looks like its MS afterall

They wont have a record of purchase will they though? As its a different store from where i got it from - i still have the card i purchased it on mind.

I've given up on ringing MS - just engaged

Im not sure about the legality of this. But my mate got his recently from gamestation - could i use his receipt?

You sure could, don't see why not. Of course it's not strictly legal but its not like they will lose any money. Its still going back to MS.

In your position I would.

LoadsaMoney · 2 Oct 2006 at 18:46

Yeah that'll work, just show them the receipt with Gamestation written on it.

Well i rang him - so im gonna get a mem card and backup save games and everything - use his box and receipt and goto gamestation 2moz.

Hopefully sort it all out

Sounds like a genius idea.

Anders0n · 2 Oct 2006 at 18:56

Just got off the phone with MS. There sending me a new power supply.

3-4 days though.

Edit: Tried to take the thing apart earlier to get my DR disc out, but had no luck. Broke the warrenty seal aswell. I might try and take it back to argos anyway so I get a quieter one.

By the way have you checked with another power supply to see if 360 works ok with another. ? (Ie a friends Power Supply)

Thats the foolish mistake i made not checking and i had absolute hell took ages before i got replacement.
