Hmm ... bad news (RRoD) [Part 2!]

[MaDaSp7]

Wow that is a quick turnaround, glad to hear you have it back and hopefully in working order, well done Microsoft. Try playing TDU offline, if like mine it isn't your original it will not let you.

 

Note to Atari: You can release DLC#6 now, Diablo has got his 360 back! :)

[YeOldeTDUMan]

Glad to hear you got the box back ... hope to see you on PGR4 soon ... <hint> I'm doing an event tonight

[Eudemon]

It was actually less than 2 weeks, it happened on the night of the 1st October, received the shipping label the following evening, phoned UPS and they picked it up on Tuesday the 3rd October and now I have it back 12 days later but that includes 2 weekends so in fact it only took 8 days !

 

Never expected that !

[S71NG3R]

That's good to hear did you have to pay for shipping costs?

[Baldy]

It was very common on Windows 98 especially when you were on the internet as so many people could exploit it, the easiest being multiple popups that would crash your system due to using all the memory.

 

Anyone want to place a bet when I will get my box back, winner gets an L/XL Atari t-shirt!

 

18th october

 

Does that mean i win a T-shirt as i was the closest :)

[Eudemon]

Depends on if anyone says the 13th October between the next minute.

[Baldy]

Nope nobody has done.

[Eudemon]

Guess you're the winner then.

[Baldy]

Yippee

[Nodz86]

Thats a really good turn around time for MS, my mates took nearly four weeks.

 

Hopefully see you on PGR soon

[Eudemon]

I had to go out and pay some bills and stuff, so I got PGR4. Won't be on till about 7 though. In fact I haven't tested the 360 out yet. lol

[Nige]

Welcome back Diablo !

 

You can stop having sleepless nights now lol !

[Who]

wahey, Diablo is back, perhaps now this will remedy his liking of fifth gear XD

[FA430RGT]

Gotta lol at that one..

[Mb]

LOL! @Lwsbrck: +rep!

[Eudemon]

Well I just loaded Test Drive Unlimited in offline with me newage profile and it loaded fine, Hardcore mode appeared as normal also. Signed into an offline profile also to check and I could still use my Zonda so it looks like my console is back. :) It's much quieter also, I'm well impressed.

[MaDaSp7]

Good to hear it's old faithful you've got back. :)

[Iced_Bullet]

Grats on getting it back :) Why don't you celebrate by taking part in my TDU:C all console gumball!?! :p As no 360'ers have signed up yet :(

[The Queen]

Good to hear you got it back Diablo! Also glad you got PGR4 ;)

[Eudemon]

Can't believe how time goes when you return to something similar. Alas though me box has again hit the RRoD and like last time and I guess some credit is due to them for it MS will again pay for the collection, postage and of course repair of the system.

 

So let's see who can guess when it will come back this time. I'll let you know when UPS pick it up so you can get a better idea of when it could be.

 

[TDU 505]

don't you know its not very nice bumping up old th....

oh wait.

Hi Diablo! Sad that you're 360's bitten the dust again :(

[YeOldeTDUMan]

sorry to see you struck out with the rings again

 

good to hear MS are still honouring the fact that the machines are fundamentally flawed

[Broseph]

o.O OMFG

Man Im sorry Diablo.. that just has to be a sucky feeling... hence forth sleepless nights

 

and of all days when the Midnight Club:LA South Central DLC is due to be released !

[Eudemon]

I got rid of MCLA about a month (hadn't played it since December anyway) ago so not bothered about that to be honest.

[khevolution]

join the club on that one, im currently waiting on UPS to pick up my sick xbox

 

luckily i have "borrrowed" one from a mate, to cure me of my current fallout 3 fix
