This event may spur me on to learn though. (And in saying I want to get an elite it is mainly cause I would like the bigger hard drive and if I fix the other one and have a spare I can take it with me anywhere i go out without having to unplug everything) I think Microsoft rip people like me off constantly (And I admit we are stupid (And yes I will use that word) enough to buy into it and keep paying for it) but at the same time the people who fix these locally that I have spoken to are just as bad and its going to cost me with labour and parts between $100-160 (from three separate sources) to get them fixed when I could buy a brand new one for $250. I think Mark got it right..... I also miss the days when you could just blow into the damn cartridge and system and everything was ok! $100-$160 shit! i need to start charging more......nah!!! thats a rip and i wouldnt feel right about myself. The heatsink pads are only like $15-$20 and it only takes like 10minutes to do the work. So they are charging you $840/hr (i think) for such an easy job.... i always charge the price for the pads and $30 dollars for labor. i have never charged over $60.....usually charge $50. So sad that people just cant help people, thats whats wrong with the world today. Nothing but greedy, selfish people.nondisclosed_email@example.com (spiderLAW)Thu, 13 Aug 2009 09:14:13 +0000 Re: CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE 2 PRESTIGE EDITIONhttps://b1narcomicunderworld.runboard.com/p6893,from=rss#post6893https://b1narcomicunderworld.runboard.com/p6893,from=rss#post6893quote:spiderLAW wrote: quote:KISSFAN24 wrote: quote:spiderLAW wrote: Any chance anyone knows how to fix these things?

Plus i fix them myself and the heatsink pads i put under the x bracket still doesnt work. So i tried swapping drives (and didnt flash it) and it still didnt work.....so yeah. it is a 1st gen 360 too so maybe i jut need a newer one. Oh ok. All good mate. I thought maybe you guys would get it first and way gonna spew! Yeah I cant wait either. Everyone has a story about x box 360 red rings of death but thank god I have never had to deal with that. In saying that I have a later version and I also have no mates who have had theres die either but I have two mates whose PS3's are gone because of laser failure and as the warranty is only 1 year it cost them about AU$1200 to buy when they came out and then Sony wants about $300 to fix it which is about half the price of a new version (smaller harddrive) now considering price drops. Man why cant game systems be as well made as nintendo 64!!! I never had a problem with that system.  :rockin: nondisclosed_email@example.com (KISSFAN24)Sat, 08 Aug 2009 15:27:19 +0000 Re: CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE 2 PRESTIGE EDITIONhttps://b1narcomicunderworld.runboard.com/p6770,from=rss#post6770https://b1narcomicunderworld.runboard.com/p6770,from=rss#post6770nah man, not earlier, didnt know you isnt american.

Our dates are written dd/mm/yy??? Does it come out earlier in the states? Or is it just that I am blind as a bat.... which after so many video games would probably be the case. Will be a great game I think and I cannot wait to get me some night vision goggles and start hiding in the dark to scare the s**t out of people! :devil: In saying what you said about price I understand totally and I would normally be exactly the same and try and find bargains or whatnot but recently I came to the realisation that I have 100+ 360 games and I only play like 10 of which halo, GOW 1&2, COD4 and Fallout 3 are part of and which I waited for ages to get cheaper. I thought about it and went ah man I am probably gonna play it a heap more than any other game so why not get some limited edition stuff. And at least when you guys have sales the games go cheap, sales here take years for the better games to drop. nondisclosed_email@example.com (KISSFAN24)Sat, 01 Aug 2009 14:41:14 +0000 Re: CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE 2 PRESTIGE EDITIONhttps://b1narcomicunderworld.runboard.com/p6683,from=rss#post6683https://b1narcomicunderworld.runboard.com/p6683,from=rss#post668311/10/2009 my friend. Hahahaha you are the same as all my friends. They are all getting the Prestige addition. I cant pay that much (149.99) for a single game, even with night vision goggles. I play too many games to dish that much out at once.....heck i hardly pay the 59.99 for a game. BUT even though i think that COD4 was highly overrated, i did enjoy it enough to say i will be at the midnight launch of Modern Warfare 2......i cannot wait!!!! plus i am building a Gamer's website with majorly blunt reviews so i defenitely gotta have this review up as soon as possible being that this will be the game of 2009!!!! hype is always the winner.nondisclosed_email@example.com (spiderLAW)Thu, 30 Jul 2009 05:56:54 +0000 CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE 2 PRESTIGE EDITIONhttps://b1narcomicunderworld.runboard.com/p6673,from=rss#post6673https://b1narcomicunderworld.runboard.com/p6673,from=rss#post6673Ok so I have been away studying my backside off for ages and havent posted in yonks so I thought it was about time I contributed to NCU again.......
