Its' Gone....

So after 2 years the 360 has finally decided to give up. Received PGR4 through the post today and managed 2 races before it started throwing up some graphical corruption. Switched it off, then on again and I get the sound but no picture problem.

Which is great as it means its not even covered by warranty. Hopefully I will be able to get it to 3 red light.

Manufacturing date is 6/11/05. Another annoying thing is I also received Transformers and Blades of Glory (on HD-DVD) from LoveFilm today as well so I won't be able to watch them either.

Good times.

PS Also tried it with my VGA cable on a different monitor but still the same problem.

Yeah sorry about making a new thread but I couldn't find anything about the problem I'm having in the 360/console stickies so wondered if anyone else on the forum had the same problem before.

Also I believed Blades of Glory was meant to be good? Ah well not going to be able to watch it now anyway.

just plug the HD-DVD drive into your PC

I would but my athlon 3700 can't play 1080p AVC files smoothly.

Mine gave up ghost with same problem a week or so ago (graphic corruption and eventually can't get any picture on screen).

Are you going to try and get it repaired via Microsoft or is yours still under warranty. I just don't know what to do with it now.

Just phoned them up and told them I was getting the 3 red light error. Hopefully they will just send me a new one anyway once I have returned mine.
