Lo guys

Since I got GOW when it was released I had random crashes where the screen just froze, no red lights on the 360, just as if the game has been paused. Its never done this before, so I put it down to the game.

However now its doing it on all the games I play on it (GRAW, SC: DA) etc would I be within my rights to take it back to the shop I bought it from about 8 months ago, or will I have to send it off to M/S?

Also if I take it back to the shop, can I keep the HDD?? and just have a the console replaced as I dont want to loose all my save games etc..

Thanks guys

Lee
 
Had the same problem :(
GOW disc has been scratched by the 360. When i spoke to microsoft about sending console back i was told it was a known problem. :eek:
Have 7 days with no 360 now.
Just take your console back and keep the hard drive.

Did they reimburse you for the damage done to your game or offer any assistance or advice?

They stated that microsoft are looking at a fix.I presume they are looking closely at my console as i have to phone back when returned.
 
Just an update I took the console back to the shop who replaced the actual console and even let me keep my original HDD which was nice.

I'm just recovering my gamertag on live, I take it this is the correct option to choose??

Surely if you put your old HDD in it should pick up where you left off, i.e. not having to recover anything? :confused:

Well, the main screen (orange one) said "join live" or "recover gamertag" it had my profile shown at the top with my achievements and gamerscore etc but i had to choose recover gamertag to let it connect online,

I've just finished doing that and its worked so must have been the right option lol :D
