Common problem, it's broken. Why do they want to charge you to fix it, they should do it for free?

They can tell by serial numbers, receipts mean nothing they are bullshitting you. Receipts only have a barcode on which is shared by every single unit sold in the UK.

and risk the rrod? no thanks lol

mine hasnt put a foot wrong.

a mate had the same problem and they took his serial number and replaced his the same way as said above. the arsehole left cod4 in the drive though and they said he couldnt claim that back.
