apparently, when i got this new "repaired" unit, my extended service contract (on my previous 360) was not transferred. so i have to write a HAND WRITTEN letter explaining my situation before i can even get this 360 under my service contract. otherwise, they're asking me to pay $99 to have it repaired. FUCK THAT. it's a mess. =\ it's literally going to take months for me to get this repaired one back.

do the new 360s have the falcon chip on em? i'm thinking of just purchasing one and selling the repaired unit.

anyone know if there's any way to find out what date a NEW 360 was manufactured w/out opening the box? or are there any clues aside from the "included HDMI port" that may reveal if a unit is of the more reliable batch?

Himu · « **Reply #28 on:** November 03, 2007, 03:21:19 PM »

It could be. it looks even more stripped down from BG2/KOTOR than Jade Empire was. At least this one has goddamn character customization. Jade didn't even that. I bet ME has like 2 or 3 classes. Yawn.

Probably the same ol' dialogue system that got old in Jade:

I'm a good guy

That's the only one you need. All the HDMI 360s are the ones with the second heatsink and new DVD drive.

the 360 I recently bought has HDMI but it's not advertised on the box.

I used this list to find out the information about my xbox without opening the box.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #42 on:** November 03, 2007, 05:20:55 PM »

Sorry to hear about that, Hyp. I would suggest buying a new 360 if it's not repaired by Thanksgiving. There should be a bunch of great 360 deals during Thanksgiving. Also, think of some BS to explain to wifey how a new 360 would benefit your kid.

I'll check on steam later tonight or maybe tomorrow to see if we could play TF2 together.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #52 on:** November 03, 2007, 08:38:54 PM »

..which would make it smart to delay to holiday '08.

a heat sink is a thing that goes next to the processors that takes out the heat very efficiently. it looks like a bunch of little white metal strips sticking out. you'll probably see one if you open up a desktop. I have no idea how exactly a heat pipe works but it has heat in the name and it's in a computer so I guess it takes it out.

and hyp, if the 360 has HDMI then it's sexy. there's no point waiting for a 65 nm one when the HDMI ones have the lower temperature anyways and you only want it for a while.
