I don't have the receipt anymore to show date of purchase. I'm pretty sure it's been over 3 years anyway

Thanks anyway for the advice tho

You don't need the receipt. I just sent mine in for that same error. The 3 year warranty is based off of your serial number.

when you request a repair, they will tell you if you are covered. They send you a label and all you have to do is remove your hd and box it up.

He won't be pushing with another 700mb (700mb + 700mb = 1.4gb) of map pack add-ons, but I see your point about the flash drive.

i sold my elite for $140 bux.. what a waste of money that was.

sho_nuff1997

iTrader: (2)

That's not a bad turn around if you bought it 3 years ago.

I got my elite as a gift, but I know it cost $400. That's a lot of money.

Mizouse

i bought it 1 and a half years ago.

but i didnt pay $400 for it. got in on live(bing) cashback when it was still around

the 8 GB flash drive has 6.9GB of space

why dont companies just sell shit as advertised?

srika

on PS3 I run HDMI out to the tv and multi-out RCA audio to the receiver since it doesnt have hdmi. Im assuming I can also do this w the 360. do I need to buy any accessories to make it so? how is it done? thx

sho_nuff1997

iTrader: (2)

you use the RCA cables from tv to receiver or from ps3 to receiver?

If it's the first, then you can do the same with the 360. Don't think you can use hdmi and RCA from the back of the 360 though. It can only be one or the other.

is300eater

are you gettin' a 360?

srika

ps3 to receiver

thx

srika

yeah, it gets here Friday. my friends made me get it, just to play Halo Reach.

Anyone else here sign up for the Fall 2010 Dashboard Update Beta? I did! I just got notication to install it, I'm gonna do it now and report back! I'm most excited about the Zune music capability and netflix search.

Lightus

I almost did but something last minute deterred me. I can't remember exactly what it was though. Is it that you loose the ability to have party chat during the beta? I vaguely recall something similar to that.

Mizouse

this.

not sure how it is now, but on my elite, it came with an adapter that had connections for RCA audio and optical audio and let me plug in the included HDMI cable as well.

Mizouse

IMO no.

i did NOT enjoy it.

but im not saying the dualshock3 is better.

Mizouse

im so glad i sold my piece of junk, waste of a space, paper weight xbox360

#1 STUNNA

But Zune Music on the 360 = teh shit!!!

I love the Zune service and devices, so cool looking! When the update comes out make sure you guys check it out, much cooler looking than itunes.

It comes with that now. In fact, it doesn't even ship with an HDMI...just the RCA. Didn't know you could use both.

Mizouse

its a separate adapter, it doesnt have the composite/component video connections on it.

that connector to the xbox360 is flatter so you could plug in the HDMI cable at the same time.

srika

theres a good amount about it...

well looks like Ill need to go to the store and buy one of these adapters. we are doing a gaming night Friday and I need it by then. I don't really mind, and I would rather not hack into the cable or whatever.

sho_nuff1997

iTrader: (2)

Ya, you can plug both in. I didn't realize both slots would broadcast a signal.

the new 360 has an optical out too. srika are you getting a new one or an old one?

Mizouse

ohh yea forgot to ask which one he got.

Rockstar21

iTrader: (1)

He bought the new 250GB

And yes im using the beta.. Espn is cool... Watched some basketball last night and college football highlights..

Once you get your 360, just run the hdmi to the tv, also run only hdmi from ps3 to tv. All your audio is going to the tv at this point. Then just run the audio out rca on the tv to the receiver. Problem solved. No extra cables needed.

srika

new 250
new 250
this. i'm actually kind of excited to get it!

will try that! thanks all.

badboy

I mentioned running the rca audio from tv to receiver. That was only because you presently have the cable. If you would like better quality audio, I suggest checking to see if your tv has an optical audio out (most tv's should) and using that connection to connect to the receiver. Obviously you'll need an optical audio cable for this.

srika

thanks, you did.

I think right now our main concern is MAXIMUM CARNAGE!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean uhh... yeah.

badboy

In that case, might I suggest: https://acurazine.com/forums/showpos...&postcount=123

thanks, can't wait to play you Xbox guys!

Mizouse

You have the new one. No need to run a cable from the Tv

Just connect the xbox to the receiver via optical audio cable, directly.
