I returned the game with no problems. I am going to return the xbox whent hey get some in because the damn thing always freezes on me. For 400.00 I don't think I should have to deal with these issues.

You cant expect everything you buy to be perfect.  Why do you think they have customer returns at stores? Because not every item always works the way its supposed to, that does not mean every item is like that. Replace it, and be happy, its not that hard.  

If you dont want to deal with possible electronic issues then quit buying stuff. No matter what you get or the cost, there is a possibility for issues.

Im thining my floor is weak. My apartment is shi.... i mean crappy. The floor kinda.... it's loud to walk around it, you know what I mean? It's not shaking a lot, but maybe JUST enough to make the entertainment center wobble just 1/10th inch.... plausable?

Common in old houses with wood floors. It wouldn't take alot of vibrations. My cousins PC suffers much the same in his house. 15k later his problem went away.. but before the reno to the house.. anyone walking in the room.. cause everyone else to feel the floor move.. and the PC DVD drives and sometimes HD would fail.

Sometimes it's the little things people don't think about. If moving the hardware you suspect isn't possible.. you might be able to buffer it from the vibrations. I'm sure someone here will have some good ideas to that end.

Man, I dont want lose my warranty, I still got time on it..... but I want to put those tommy rubber stoppers in there. I guess I will rock the d-skins until then. More and more reasons to get a later version 360....

later versions of 360.. or any console will not guarantee you won't get scratched disks.

I'm also not a fan of Dskins or similar concepts. As Twisted noted.. adding any layers.. no matter the quality will add to the work and wear and tear on the laser. That can only do one thing, shorten the life of the layer.

Simple rule of thumb I live by. New electronics.. test with dummy/tossaway disks. If it don't scratch under normal use.. it probably won't down the road unless it's be coaexed into doing so.

Assuming it passes.. and you start using it... don't leave disks in the console when off. Period. Don't leave any disk in the 360 when not using it. Playing Arcade? remove the disk.

If a disk isn't in the machine.. it can't get accidently buggered from a vibration.. a slight bump.. or go forbid a manufacturing defect like a loose component.

Other warning like don't move while a disk is in it.. (forget even if it's on.. if the disk is in it, even idle, remove it.. and then change the orientation.) go without saying.. (just did though.. hmm..)

9/10 issues I see on this board still are user error. (and user avoidable)

TEH GOD HATH SPOKEN!! j/k  


Yeah, I think my apartments were built in the early 80's late 70's... somewhere.

But I dunno. I'm still gonna wait a few more weeks before I do the rubber pad treatment, but for now it's d-skins....

:/

I need a paintjob too... so sick of the white.

People dont reply on here just for fun, they reply to provide help, so you should take the help and not ask the same questions again right after someone answers the question

Someone on here...I think it was mhael...said that game companies are obligated to send you a replacement copy of a game you purchased, should your game get ruined.  My understanding is that is because you pay for the software (game information), not the media (physical disc).  If the software is rendered useless, they must provide you with a usable copy of the software.  
He said to be persistant.  They will tell you no over and over.  To each person who says "no", ask to speak to their supervisor.  He said eventually they will relent because, while the average cust. service monkey may not know their obligations, the right supervisor will.

I had a disk get scratched real bad and took it to game crazy and they resurfaced it now works good as new and didn't even charge me. If you get a scratched disk call a game store and see if they can repair scratched disk.
