you guys know of any fixes for that, or should I just go and swap it out at my local sam's...

bastards won't even give me a new one, telling me to send it to manufacturer....I even bought the 3 year plan!

Well seems like you want it tonight, other wise I would send it make to M$. Anyway I would do the same thing. Make sure you change the serial number on the back of the Xbox. If the customer service person feels like doing thier job, product over a certain amount needs to be checked to see if it's there regardless of if it looks open or not.

If you want to go the route keep this hush hush, though people probably know I don't want manufactures to start finding away around this. Use a hair driver on the serial number and sticker on the box, hold it there for about 1 min about 1 inch away and use a tweezer to peel off the sticker SLOWLY and keep the heat on it, you dont have to use a tweezer but then you will burn your fingers.

Nah I would say another day as people throughout the day will be getting it. Anyway successful thread is successful.

This game is kickass! Not much to boast about, everyone else will get their copy in a few hours anyway and find out themselves

ncarter124 · 10-26-2009, 10:47 PM

I preordered but my Gamestop isn't doing a midnight release. Highly frustrating but probably for my own good considering I work tomorrow morning.

Not a bad idea to sell the wheel, may just do that. I want to see how everyone like the other ones first.
