    What date is on the back of the xbox? Microsoft gave 3 year warranties on some faults. Failing that its a new xbox mate or at least find a repair shop.

    trouble is once they have been opened they seem a bit prone to going wrong afterwards.

    I have had 2 fixed and within 3 months they went wrong again. In the end I gave up and bought a new one.

    Game over? Game ON! It's time to clock up some gaming hours, it would be rude not to:)

    If you need the cable for transfering your profile, give us a shout. You can recover your profile online but you wont get your game saves unless you use the cable.

    It plugs into the old hard drive then into the front usb port on the xbox.
