Warranty ftw

Does that warranty cover damaged discs?

Discs only get damaged if you're a noob and knock over your 360 while it's running. How stupid do you have to be to do that?

Guess we'll find out, WILLCO

I was thinking about getting a Pelican vertical air cooler, that basically pumps air in and out of that right vent that's blocked when it's sitting vertical. They're on sale at GameStop for like $10 this week.

Those things are a sham

I was wondering about that. Whether or not they REALLY helped.

They have a cooler for the Wii.

The Wii.

A cooler.

My copy of Chromehoundsa got chewed to shit sitting vertical with not a sould touching it. Shit stays horizontal now.

I've read about copies of 360 games getting scratched sitting horizontal too. It happens. The stance of the console really doesn't do much as long as you keep it well ventilated and don't touch while it's on. It's a fickle machine, I'll say that much. I'm glad I got a warranty on that sucker.

I'm currently rocking it with a Canada flag faceplate. I'll put up a pic once i get the 360 itself back (Who wants a picture of just a faceplate?)

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #14 on:** June 10, 2007, 09:29:27 PM »

They should have positioned Optimus Prime better. Had it so the power button was right over his crotch. Would make turning on the 360 even more of a sensual experience than it already is.

So, like, is that Transformers faceplate on sale everywhere, or is it a Gamestop exclusive thing or a preorder bonus or what? 'Cuz I want one. It's sexy.

Not sure. I nabbed it from Gamestop. It comes with 12 faceplate designs that are interchangeable, but the only one I might swap in is Bumblebee and Jazz. The rest of the color schemes are HIDEOS.

I'm sorry, I think that faceplate is ugly. They should have made one with just an autobot (or decepticon) logo, then you could pretend your console was a transformer too.

Fuuuck, I want one for when I eventually buy a 360...hope it's not sold out by the time I get back. Guess I'll have to ask a friend to pick one up for me. How much did it cost?

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #20 on:** June 11, 2007, 10:48:01 AM »

My 360 is in the living room so I dont think ill get away with a faceplate unless its minimalist

I think $20. I got a discount, plus I paid using GAMEBUCKS.

Ichirou · « **Reply #22 on:** June 11, 2007, 10:56:33 AM »

How much is the employee discount at GameStop nowadays? It was at 15% when I worked there...and it was 20% when my cousin was assistant manager before that...I figure at the rate they're going, eventually you're going to have to pay 5% over the MSRP if you're an employee.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #23 on:** June 11, 2007, 10:57:42 AM »

In washington the sales tax is up to 10%+ since we dont have a state tax, which makes in-store employee discounts useless to retail people.
