I finally broke down, and purchased a Xbox bundle pack today. To my dismay when I brought it home. It does not work. The sound works, but no picture. I tried another cable so that is not it.

 This is the first console I have ever purchased that has refused to work. I suppose it will be another out of the way trip to change it out. I am wondering if the bundle has refurb hardware or somthing.

I would assume you haven\'t done anything stupid like opening up the case and trying to fix it yourself or burning the reciept. Just take it back to the store you purchased it from and exchange it. These things happen.

When I bought my PS2 the frickin\' disk tray wouldn\'t open!

Well, after a few friendly jabs with the flat head screwdriver, I decided to take it back and exchange it.  :)

Just thought I\'d share that nugget of information with everyone :)

pS2 tray broken on me a couple of times. No xbox problems yet. Although my cousin broke his some how. The tray would not open.

I tried to jimmy it open with a screwdriver, hammer, butter knife. Just couldn\'t get the darn thing open.

I don\'t think Microsoft will resort to selling refurbished consoles (yet!). Just a bit of bad luck I suppose, could happen to anyone.

Sega and Nintendo still make the best hardware...

Excluding the original NES, of course...

Pop up CD trays are the way to go...

July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

Have you tried putting your Xbox in the freezer?

...although rumour goes around that one of our members had less luck using this method, it might very well solve yours...

No freezer here. :D  I took it back, and got a new unit today. It works as well as I expected.

LIC yeah I remember the Gran Turismo thing. Luckily I did not have to resort to any lows. I blame that whole incident on the Rocky Horror picture show anyhow. I am a bit skiddish about putting it in anything other than my dvd player.

Anyways it was the bundle pack so it came with Sega GT, and Jet Grind Radio. I figured for 200 it was not a bad deal. I am a bit dissapointed that 2 games come on one dvd that resembles more of a demo dvd. It has movies of shenmue2, Panzer Dragoon, Transworld Snow, Mech Assault, Buffy, and Blinx.

Quick question for everyone. Is there a game that is not a multi-port, button masher, Halo, or Munch game worth having?????????? I sort of bought it to finish up my next gen console collection, and now that my 2 free games are on a demo cd type thing. I would like to add atleast one more that is moderatly cool.
