took it back to argos today, refused to replace it themselves, said Microsoft have to deal with it

so phoned em up and some paki answered (thought thank **** its an 0800) after half hour of spelling out my whole address he said they'll send prepaid postage stuff to me in the post then a UPS bloke will pick it up and drop it off at their repair centre for it to have a new or refurbed dvd drive could take upto 14 working days

was playing GoW this morning no problems, Act 5 on the train insane mode ;)

then starts making a grinding sound and ejects the disc, goes to dashboard and says clean the disc. did so and stuck it back in but it made funny noises and more grinding sounds. and just wouldnt read the disc, kept going to the dashboard

tried a few games all the same. odd tho i stuck a music cd in and all was fine???
