Washed out, horizontal banding, 8-bit colordepth. Total meltdown imminent
It survived Bioshock and Mass Effect, but grinding shadows to L99 is the 360-killer
RIP Patel's 360, May 2006-Dec 2007

happy new year
-
even my pathetic plan to ring in the new year with Blue Dragon has been foiled
-
:(
-
it turned on and had sound but no video
now it won't even turn on
I'm colorblind so you will need to tell me if it's rockin the three rings
-
gpu is probably fried, 3rrod soon.
sorry man :(
-
yeah, I turned it back on and it "works" (sound) again
but no video. I'll let it rest 20-25 minutes to make sure it's as-cool-as-possible, but I fear the worst.
questions:
1) How do I make sure my new system is one of the "cooler" chipsets?
2) I assume the HDD swap is straightforward, so I can keep all my saves?
Thanks!

2. The HDD swap was straightforward for me for my second Elite. I just sold the unused 120 giger to a friend.

1. look for lot 0740 or later (or better still, a 175w power supply instead of a 203w one), it's all on a sticker on the side of the box
2. yes

Well, you can wait for it to gives the 3rrod and fix it for free (3 years warranty) but if you don't want to it's your choice.

I'm going to ring in the new year with some awesome PS3 software (Blade Runner: The Final Cut).
I am taking this as an omen, 2008 is the year of the PS3 baby
I have a Best Buy stupid extended warranty so, I'm gonna rock just rock an exchange tomorrow. hopefully they'll be open.
-
That sucks, Patel.
I guess you were right in buying the PS3 version of Rockband.
I remember the hardware reliability issues were the reasons you bought the PS3 version.

I own both, but I prefer my PS3 overall (especially that it has good games now).
Blu-ray is so fucking sweet.
