You will almost never use the remote.  Dont forget to buy the extended warranty unless you plan on cracking it open.  I strongly advise against doing that.

I may crack it open, but not yet.
Not really fussed about extended warrenty.  The budget doesnt really stretch that far

Im going to extend my warranty once the original year runs out (got a couple of months).

When you phone up, its worth asking how long you have left on you warranty.  Some people have been given 3-4 months left when calling about a launch console.  They arent quite with it... :)

This statement confuses me.

If you dont crack it open you could get it swapped.

If you do crack it open, you can pot tweak.


I think the main issue though, is that you have a Hitachi drive & naff media.

I think he is referring to DVD-R backups of his games.  Less said about that the better.

Just Crack it Open. If/when it breaks - replace with a Core. 5 games easily off sets the price of a replacement.

Why?  Surely there really isnt a problem any more as this forum isnt affiliated with any store/person?  Theres no reputation to tarnish and no one to get in trouble legally  :?

Plus its blatantly obvious the mods arent likely to practice what they preach in this case  :lol:

We dont talk about it because software piracy is illegal.

fc9k, What do you mean by "arent likely to practice what they preach in this case"?

I have green cases like that and original inlays as pictured.  Amazing what colour printers can now do.  They can even make paper look like pressed and printed metal.  Wonders never cease.

FC9k, its not a question of what you have and havent done its a question of we dont accept discussion of piracy on TekForums.  If you want that policy to change then contact a member of the admin team and make a persuasive argument.  If you want to breach copyright, thats your decision just dont expect to be allowed to discuss it on TekForums.

Im mentioning it now.  I just dont see how banning it really makes a difference any more.  By all means correct me if Im wrong, but I thought the reason it wasnt discussed before was due to the affiliation with tekheads  :?

just cos thats the way it used to be done doesnt make it right or wrong now.

or in plain english, just cos they used to be affiliated doesnt mean the reason for not discussing piracy hasnt changed.

theres plenty of other places to chat about piracy... its rather refreshing that we dont on here.

I disagree about that being "plain english", ROFL!!!

Although, you do have a fair point!  Although personally, we all do it (well most of us) ... I think it should not be discussed here.  Save it for pm! he he!!

Are pictures of naked kids illegal? Better round up all those naturists then and throw them in jail... ;)

I think he means this one?

He didnt report it and the kid isnt naked either, just has his Weiner in his breakfast bowl.

Had he reported it to bear then Im sure he would have moved it to quarantine ;)
