My console makes a grinding noise when it boots up and a popping noise during gameplay. I just hope it dies before my warranty expires. :-\I think I'd return it now, claiming that it is so hot you can hear the circuit boards popping. Or something. Get in while you can do it for free.
For a couple months now my drive drawer doesn't want to open or close on its own anymore. Sometimes it takes a few tries just to get the thing to open so I can insert or swap a disc. So I'm thinking there is an alignment or general optical drive problem that is causing my drive to not play a brand new, scratch-free, crack-free disc which I only received new three weeks ago and has not been transported anywhere since then.
Can you install it?nope.

i don't have a 360 :smug
Holy fucking shit. They charge 20 bucks.Try getting the disk buffed first. I think gamestop does that for free.

Finally, I have reported this thread, as it is blatant sfag FUD
Finally, I have reported this thread, as it is blatant sfag FUDShut your face, Scenester. I have a PS3 and a 360 and a Wii, and I hate them all. Actually, I think I dislike my PS3 more than the others, so I can't claim to be an "equal opportunity hater."

Bro, I know you stone-trollin' like a denizen under the proverbial bridge. I forgot to include a smooch, so: :-*Finally, I have reported this thread, as it is blatant sfag FUDShut your face, Scenester. I have a PS3 and a 360 and a Wii, and I hate them all.

I'm always baffled by these responses in threads dedicated to a specific topic.
"I don't have anything to do with this platform/product you've mentioned. :smug "
Smoove, you're a good poster, so don't take this personally. I just see it as shitting up someone else's perfectly reasonable thread.
Everytime I've had that done it makes it worse :(Holy fucking shit. They charge 20 bucks.Try getting the disk buffed first. I think gamestop does that for free.
It depends on how they buff it. The Japanese shops use a process that is entirely automated, takes about 10 full minutes, and (swear to god) returns a disc that looks like it is brand new. Newer than new.Holy fucking shit. They charge 20 bucks.Try getting the disk buffed first. I think gamestop does that for free.
yeah, i went to a place that just destroyed my discs when I got them back so I don't think I'm ever trying that again. At least i can still play multiplayer.It depends on how they buff it.

OTOH, the Gamestop register monkeys like to use an over-the-counter solution purchased for $20 at Sam Goody, and enhance the disc polish formula with their own saliva and jizz.
Just trade your 360 for a ps3. Killzone, folklore, heavenly sword, haze, etc.
Yeah at gamecrazy (which is out of business) they used the machine. When my baby brother took my Modern Warfare 2 disk and tried putting it in a dvd player, the disk looked like it was in an elephant's asshole but they buffed it for 3 minutes and it came out all shiny and new.It depends on how they buff it.

ugh :( If I were you Id probably just bite the bullet and pick up a new slim console.Agreed. Let's take a look at the Cost-Effectiveness Table of Elements:
299USD gets me:Fixed...only one fan
- black, glossy but somehow cheap looking new-form-factor case
+ 250GB HDD (+130GB from my current)
+ HDMI
+ lower power consumption
+ quieter fan
+ quieter optical drive
+ wifi built in so I can give my adaptor to my nephew (is it 802.11/n does anyone know?)
802.11/n
I actually discovered this past weekend that my launch 360 that 'died' when trying to play Gay Tony still kinda works. Even back when the red ring started to happen, I could start up and play a bit of Gay Tony before it would red ring. Since then it has just sat in my closet in the box of the newer 360 I got. I don't know if that's common.
This was the same 360 that I kept in a closed wooden drawer for a year. Once I left it on for about 8 hours to download the Crackdown 1 demo with a crack the side of the largest cable width open. That was in 2006 and it managed to run fine until late 2009, or even longer now I guess.
Probably a safe assumption. My new 360S vents heat out the side, I think I could bake cookies there.
So I was transferring files from my XBox memory card to a usb flash drive but it won't transfer most of them cause they don't transfer to other profiles even though it has its profile as "unknown profile". I'm using my roommates old xbox cause the memory card doesn't fit anywhere on the new xbox.Pwetty Pweeeeaaaaaaase!!!!
Help?
