    as i said i can get the saves off using my xbox, i will put your hdd in my xbox and save them to a memory card and copy them across onto your new xbox from there very easy. and thets the end of the circle, as far as i know microsoft will format the xbox when you send it into them i could be wrong but thats what i have heard from a few friends

    dodgy. If i was a tester it would be a testing box and i wouldn't have a fully printed retail DVD.

    Well after a lengthy investigation for those of you interested it was the DVD-ROM drive that was at fault (not just a loose cable as i had hoped). 2 years of heavy gaming seems to have knackered it. Another has been ordered from www.divineo.com 44 sterling. Saving about 33 euro off a service and about 100 euro off a new one.
    I emailed xbox support about servicing open boxes. no reply as of yet.

    Just to warn you m8!!! Divineo use Fed Ex for shipping and most of their stuff goes through customs..I bought a PS2 lazer and paid 39 Canadian dollars and 24 dollars for shipping...I then got another bill from fedex for 23 euro...customs value was 16 and fedex administration charge was 7...it's a rip off if you ask me so don't be surprised if you get another bill!

    They are based in the UK. EU law now states that once you pay the VAT in the country you are purchasing from then you cannot be liable for duty on entering any other EU border. You got it from outside the EU so yea, they shag you.
    CDWOW now get duties added because they are based in Hong Kong. Had to re0source their cd's to remain competitve with play who are based in Jersey but registered in England.
    (me worked in WorldPay.com - i don't actually read up on this trash)
