Generally if they send your own console back, it has a new mobo and drive in anyway, so isn't technically the same machine.

My console has arrived back this evening, and it's my console, serial number is the same, but, the fans are now different, I no longer have my nice black Nidec fans, I now have the white sticker ones, so does that mean they basically skinned my console and stuck new guts, whether new or refurbed; and stuck the black skin back around it all?Comment

Yep, thats what they do. New mobo and drive.
You now have the Delta fans, which are louder but do pull more air than the Nidec's.Comment

Mine's been sent back and according to the tracking is currently in Barking. Do UPS operate on Sundays and bank holidays?Comment

No. 7 is now packed up, ready to be returned to GameStation today. Keeps locking up on the Guide and in games, completely randomly, happens in everything. Thankfully it's not a year old.Comment

Wow, seven faulty 360's.....that is just pure unlucky. Saying that though a mate of mine is on his ninth one now and even that plays up now and again.Comment

Thankfully GameStation are the best at returns, I'll always get consoles from them, their customer service (Brighton store) is top notch

LOL. So apparently you can only transfer licenses to a new 360 every 12 months - seriously, who has an XBox last that long! Not only that, despite using the same HDD, I'll have to redownload them? I've 250 downloaded items according to the Live site. This is going to be soooo much fun.
Edit. **** this. 250 licenses to redownload individually. Really can't be ****ed to spend a day doing that, can only queue about 5 at a time anyway.
Wouldn't be that bad if the new 360 didn't make this awful clunking noise when it's first turned on! It's a Jasper one, so hopefully more reliable, but that noise doesn't fill me with confidence....Last edited by Matt; 24-05-2009, 14:36.Comment

I got a new Jasper recently too and have this noise so I reckon it's pretty normal. Hope it is anyway!Originally posted by Chain View PostComment

That is actually good to knowOriginally posted by Johnny View Post Means I'll keep it rather than auto returning it. Not played a game on it so I'll give that a go, if it's just a start up noise it's not really an issue. I don't know what it is making that noise, think it's the lense mechanism moving or something.

thanks man. Still, I'll have to manually click all of them on the Live site, which isn't too fast, or via the Guide which is even slower to cycle through the menus. 250 times!Originally posted by Paulos G View Post
As you can tell, I'm too enamoured with having to do this
I need a simple solution, like my content automatically moving with a simple option. I really don't want to **** about with 250 licenses. Make it a one click process that handles all the content. And then having to download it all again is silly. It's already on my hard drive.
I've still no idea how I've accumulated that many Live purchases. It's an alarming number! Got quite a few Rock Band tracks but still....Comment

LOL. Would be funny if it wasn't true. I don't spend anywhere near as much time on it as I used too, and still they die on me!
Maybe I'll be brave enough tonight. The guy in Gamestation said to make sure I test it out today, in case I had any problems

It works The DVD drive sounds awful; I install all my games, so it's not really an issue. Except I'm now playing CrackDown.
