Are the withdrawal symptoms kicking in yet - nervousness, sweaty palms, feelings of panic etc etc.


Tommy P - 14/10/10 at 09:04 AM

it's all going wrong for you - no tires and no xbox - I have some sharp razor blades if you want to borrow them.


Tommy P - 14/10/10 at 09:05 AM

You'll probably loose at snooker tomorrow night too. Ha Ha


FFTS - 14/10/10 at 09:13 AM

Tom.. stop it!!! Never kick a friend when he's down. It's just not nice

Joe,

I have an original X-box that crashes quite often and some poo mario and sonic games to keep you occupied whilst Tom and I play the really modern, high definition really fun online state of the art COD on the fantastic X-box 360.

Let me know if you want it and I'll try to get the old pizza stains off it and drop it off to you.


Tommy P - 14/10/10 at 09:21 AM

Now where did I put them hobnail boots?


FFTS - 14/10/10 at 09:34 AM

Hey... C'mon! Don't mention it.

What are mates for!

Tom shall we wear one each haha.

Repair it yourself, theres loads of guides on you tube. Did mine with some nuts, bolts and penny washers out of the garage.
Cheers,
Bob

If you've had it 3 years or less and never opened it up then microsoft will fix it for free and cover the carriage.

2 of mine have already gone back this way.


welderman - 14/10/10 at 01:17 PM

just come off the phone with microsoft, its 3 years ended in Jan , but as its an elite model there going to pick it up and fix it, , happy happy.

Thanks for all your support, well some of you.

Joe


FFTS - 14/10/10 at 01:39 PM

Phewe nice one.

We'll cancel your place at the priory for rehab


Mr G - 14/10/10 at 01:43 PM

Good news

They will throw a 1 month live sub code in with it too when it returns to cover any time lost during the repair. The 2 I've had returned have been replacements, they havn't tried repairing my original units at all. Remember to take your faceplate off too for a spare before packing it up

Cheers
