My xbox has been giving me problems for months now. Im really getting sick of it too because I cant play a game for more then 30 minutes without it freezing up. I think im gonna get a new one. I tried fixing it. I cleaned the lense and it was working quite well for a couple days after that and then it went back to being gay! I think the new xbox bundle they have out if a good deal. I think it would be better to just get a new xbox, with two free games, and one controller for only like 180. Its because of my xbox that I never actually beat KOTOR!!!! Damn you xbox!!!! I was loading up my game one day and it froze and ****ed up the file. I was gonna make another one because it has an auto save thing and I was gonna do it the next day. So I get home and my sisters bf is playing it!!!! So I never did beat the damn best game in the world and I was so close to kicking Malaks assssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, get a new one. Make sure to read the safety **** and be careful.

Well i would say send it to Microsoft to get it repaired..but since you opened it I don't know..they probably could still fix it for you, because the biggest disadvantage to a non-removeable HD is that you have to put up with the chance of your Xbox crapping out, and having all this info on the Xbox. So if you want to keep your info just send it in to them.

Ghost recon ****s up like crazy on mine, but that could just be the game. My xbox sometimes freezes but not alot.
I would likely be cheaper to get a new xbox then fixing it, as you could just sell KOTOR since you already have it. But you would also lose your game saves.

I dont have anything to save. I deleted everything off because Tempest posted in an earlier thread that, that had helped his friends xbox. So I tried it......nothing. Im not gonna have MS fix it either. My xbox is old. It was made like November 16th, 2001. So it has that sucky tompson drive or however you spell it. It cant read burnt cds either!!!! I have alot of hours on that baby too....im gonna miss it......
p.s. Myukoi, I did rape him. I raped him sensless.

I want to play my games with a surround sound system real loud on a big tv, but my parents wouldn't let me. I need sound proof walls. :(
