Default Ummm maybe

Had my Launch day machine til last week, worked a dream. But then, I traded it in for an elite at Gamestation. Trade in a 2 yearold machine for a new one with 120 gig for £139. Was then offered a games package for £15 that I was allowed to trade in for £55 at the same time . So cost to change was only £99.

Do they do the data transfer from your old HDD in the shop for you?

You leave a £32 deposit, the cable is free from xbox.com, just return the drive once you've transfered your data, they give you 30 days to sort it.

Just sent my 4th premium back for repair (was freezing playing bioshock, and then I had the 3 red lights again). Maybe it will be 5th time lucky!! My Elite is still working though

Forza crashed on me once. Not played it for a while and the xbox is still working fine. Think Forza has a few issues myself.

Apart from one Ring of Death incident and prior to that a string of Freezing in games of Forza 2 (that have now ceased since the ROD) my launch day machine has been fine.
