Did you even try to get it to work. Was COD$ constantly locking up? Could it have just been overheating? Did you try to power it after a period of time? What problems were you having prior to this that couldve led to this or persom the symptoms?

i have had the box sence 06 with some overheats from over playing PSU and I tried many times to try to get it to work and I tried right before I sent it out. It was old so it was about time even if it was a bad time

it always sucks when stuff like this happens at a bad time. But really don't fret. You'll get it back with time left in the event, and then time after the event to actually get all the rewards. The spread needle is only a fake, and what else are you really losing out on?

No, I play on PC. I never get ripped off for an inferior or defective system. Server side problems only.

Aww, I'm really sorry. I'd give you my spread needle, if I could have even a remote possibility of getting on the leaderboard.. Also, you're not on the same server. Actually, if I do end up, somehow, on the leaderboard, I plan on giving away my needle. I can't use it, and others seem to want it really bad.

PS: There is a .0000001% chance that I will get on, lol. I can't play enough.

... I often think about that during MAG but if mine did crap out, Id probably get it back in a week or so because I live Texas LOL. Sorry though http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

The same thing happend to me. I got the three red lights of death. I was so pissed, I was planning on taking fri off work just so I could get a jump start on that spread needle.....although I did some serious negotiating and was able to borrow my friends xbox for a few weeks. Although I fear I'm still too late of even dreaming of the spread needle/g.

Anyways I feel for you man. I know the feeling, let down right when you needed it. hopefully by some chance in hell they send your xbox back early and you can get some G badges.

yes the same exact thing happened to me. My xbox was fine and then when doing a mission it froze which happens occasionally (every other day or so). when i turned it back on i had the RROD! turned the system off and tried a few more times and it finally started running again. played for the night. the next morning i went to start it up again and BAM! RROD....this happened to me the tuesday or wednesday before mag started so you and I are in the same boat. i just hope to get mine back with at least a week left in the event so i can get some of the rewards.

That sucks man, but don't sweat it too much, there's a real Spread Needle that will be released sometime later after the event.

Really, really dont do the hot towel trick. Lol it's terrible for your xbox, and only makes matters worse if you understand how the solder and mechanics on the inside are working. Heat+Insulation=Baaaaaad. That and I think Microsoft has stated that the towel trick will void your warrentee....

Anywho, this happened to me almost immediately after I bought Devil May Cry 4. Not the worst problem in the world, but I did get my xbox back in like, 3 weeks, not too too bad, and you'll still get to enjoy MaG after it comes back for at least a little while....

And did I hear something about the Rykos mission still being available with changed drop rates/rewards after the event is over?
