I believe the free month trial is a silver account, meaning you can connect to Xbox Live and download things like updates, but not actually play online. At least that's how I understand that.
Oh, I fear that ring! I hope it'll be fixed soon, though... So anyone up for some ass whooping on COD3?
Microsoft Corp. today announced that it will expand its global Xbox 360 warranty coverage. Any Xbox 360 customer who experiences a general hardware failure indicated by three flashing red lights will now be covered by a three year warranty from date of purchase. All other existing Xbox 360 warranty policies remain in place. As a result of what Microsoft views as an unacceptable number of repairs to Xbox 360 consoles, the company conducted extensive investigations into potential sources of general hardware failures. Having identified a number of factors which can cause general hardware failures indicated by three red flashing lights on the console, Microsoft has made improvements to the console and is enhancing its Xbox 360 warranty policy for existing and new customers. Microsoft stands behind its products and is taking responsibility to repair or replace any Xbox 360 console that experiences the "three flashing red lights" error message within three years from time of purchase free of charge, including shipping costs. Microsoft will take a $1.05 billion to $1.15 billion pre-tax charge to earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 for anticipated costs under its current and enhanced Xbox 360 policies. "The majority of Xbox 360 owners are having a great experience with their console and have from day one. But, this problem has caused frustration for some of our customers and for that, we sincerely apologize," said Robbie Bach, president of Microsoft's Entertainment & Devices Division. "We value our community tremendously and look at this as an investment in our customer base. We look forward to great things to come." For any customer who has previously paid for repair expenses related to the three flashing lights error message on the Xbox 360 console, Microsoft will retroactively reimburse them.
I've had mine since December and I use it for two-three hours a day. Still no red lights. Hopefully it remains this way. I just found out over the weekend that Halo 3 was coming out September 25th. I originally thought it was going to be November! This is exciting!
Mark, I send you a PM yesterday. It's about the xbox. Haven't you seen it yet or are you ignoring it?
Haha, I read it yesterday at work. I just never got around to replying to it, then forgot about it. Sorry about that. Sure. He can add me. Norman05. But I only play Halo 2 and NHL 07 online nowadays. Rainbow Six to a lesser degree, and Gears of War to a far lesser degree. Can't say I'm really all that into GoW online.
Psh, tis okay. He requested you. But from the 4 games you're talking about, he only has Gears of War and 5 other ones. Meh, ohwell, who knows in the future.
I cant wait for Halo 3, that will be sooo sweet, if you wanna see any videos of the gameplay try these 34 vids on: http://uk.media.xbox360.ign.com/media/734/734817/vids_1.html
I'm getting mine Friday. Now I can be a pain in the ass to the online gaming community instead of the Linkin Park Association forum community.
