Might as well go for it since you will be using the card at some point anyway.

The deal that the dash has is 14 months for $50. You get a far better deal with any of the usual renewal card deals. I think Amazon has 12 mo for $40 now. Pretty sure that's a better bargain.

Yeah, I'm expiring on 12/22 anyway. It's just a matter of they seem to allow you to use a pre-paid code in conjunction with the deal as well as a credit card. I'll go check now. My luck the promotion will be gone.

Redeemed a 12-month card and it only added that, no bonus 2 :(

I wonder if I could call someone about that and complain?

Today's XBox Live update:

Gives Live the infrastructure to support the new wireless N adapter slated to release later this year.

Facebook, Twitter, LiveFM, & Zune video are still on track to release in November in another update.

Thanks. Logged in last night and there was an update but I didn't see anything notable.

This is why I shouldn't post while trying to give two kids breakfast. Sorry.

That result is what I would have expected though. MS doesn't give deals unless you buy it directly from them.

Oh, I called and I have a reference number and everything! :lol:

According to them, the deal hasn't shown up on "their side" yet so I'll be calling back in a few days :rolleyes:

University Collection!

Finally some promise of some Ok State gear! But, right now, it looks like it might only be these schools:

Hopefully with 293 items a few more schools got it.

Looks like Microsoft might have sent me two Data Migration Kits.

Anyone need one? I'll have no use for either of them after I transfer my 20gb data to my 120gb drive.

OK the hats and tees are cool because they have actual logos on them but the shoes are just 2 colors there is nothing special about them besides being 2 toned. Boo.

I will be needing one soon as I migrate from a 20GB to 120 as well.

PM me if you still have one available.

Will set my Avatar up with some KU gear after Halloween! :D

I would guess the schools chosen for this first round is directly proportional to alumni working in the XBL division at Microsoft.

Probably won't buy any of the school stuff, but I was surprised to see some of the tings are only $1

They should just call it the SEC collection.

Quick warranty repair question:

When you send your XBox in because of a RROD problem, do they replace the unit, or repair it?

Jeremy517 10-29-09 12:38 PM

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 
Nowadays, they usually repair it, but there are no guarantees. If it is repaired, it will probably come back 5x as loud as it was before.

^ That's what happened with mine. The noise is to the point where I just want to sell off my pro to get an Arcade unit with HDMI and some piece and quiet.

Decker 10-29-09 03:41 PM

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 
^ My experience as well. Same unit, loud as a fighter jet. Sold it to an employee of mine along with its original 20 GB HDD ( :lol: ), bought a new Jasper Arcade and swapped in my current 120 GB drive. Barely cost me anything out of pocket.

I just sent mine out a couple of weeks ago. Came back with a different unit, much quieter.

If that's the case, then they should have just called it "the only conference that matters" collection. ;)
