also for the young readers out there be thank ful if u got a next gen system for the holidays be very grateful, in our times it is extremly tough.give ol mom or dad a hug, or whomever makes your x- mas worthwhile.

north america is the country im refering to for our foreign friends

this will beA FIARLY long post so if that sorta thing bugs u move on please.

i just wanted to share my broken 360 experience with everyone, my 360 broke roughly a month ago thinking i was only under a year warrenty i thought id cut some $ corners and get it done locally, big mistake as it promply broke 3 days later , the dreaded e-74 he also replaced one of the parts, so i obv was quite upset when it broke, so i went thru the process of sending it in, i actually made a post earlier , 3 weeks ago maybe, asking since said dumbazz replaced a main part of the core processer. well turns out i was still under warrenty, but i was told only had 1 year, and the system was 15 months old..

anyways sent it in just paid 4 shipping, and i kept expecting an email or phone call saying i voided my warrenty for opening it up as thats what i was told, some by u everyone said it would return broke. well i keep checking the xbox.com repair process, and it all seemed legit, well out of luck ora pure oddity i have my 360 back no complaints, works fine.

just wanted to share this and maybe even if u **** w/ it or something there is hope, i fully expected my 360 to be void, but they fixed it i didnt pay nothing maybe they are so used to fixing them they assumed mine was no different, sorry for not posting in the officail broken thread, but i wanted people to see it.

also i may of mispelled a word or two dnt flame

thank u

I got a 360 for Christmas and am looking forward to getting a subscription to Xbox Live, but before I shell out the money for a network adapter I was wondering if anyone knows whether or not the service operates on a satellite wireless internet connection. I don't want to spend the money if I can't use the service

i have satalite, and although not the best service compared toa modem, it works if u get a wireless adapter, u have to call your whoever and tell them your mac numbers i belive, alos my nat is neevr open, other than that it ok, noit terrible, not great does the job though

You have a few alternatives, actually. The most simple and easiest solution is to buy the official adapter, but it is pricey. However, you can:

(1) Buy a long ethernet cable to connect your Xbox 360 to router/modem.
Price:$10-$50

(2) Use a nearby desktop PC or laptop to bridge connections.
Price:Free (unless you need to buy a NIC, or another cable)

(3) Use a old/cheap router, with special firmware (DD-WRT) to change the settings to "client mode." Here's what I'm talking about.
Price:Free-$50

If you have any questions about any given solution, feel free to ask. Of course, there's always Google as well if necessary. Happy New Year, and enjoy your new Xbox 360.:)

If the warranty is voided, you can fix the RRoD yourself. It is a surprisingly simple process, too!MasonB15

doesnt seem to simple to me
