I have gotten this message twice in the past, both times I had to send my x-box out, and both times they formatted my hard drive. I assume it has something to do with a corrupted game save file... though I can't be positive. It's really a big pain in the ass.

Hi...I had that messege on my old xbox. I just bought a new xbox. Never had any error messeges ever since. :ninja:

Did you check out the technical forums at forums.xbox.com? That question is very common at the xbox forums. :cool:

Of course your Xbox needs service. It needs to be upgraded to the latest PC if you want to enjoy all of the latest technology that has been introduced since 1999!

You have a 733MHz Pentium 3 and a library of juvenile, simplistic and "out-of-the-box is all you get" games.

Service your own console; buy a gaming PC and see what you've been missing...

Defiantly: To be honest, they say PC graphics rule, but because a TV isn't as clear as a PC monitor, you dont see jaggerred edges etc... it makes the games look awesome. PCs are only good for shooting games like CS, where not even the nice xbox hand controller can beat a mouse.

Quite simply, it's much easier for most people to justify spending 200 dollars on a console than spending 1000 dollars (minimum) on a game console. Especially when the games they wish to play are available for that console. Also, a lot of game manufacturers now are refusing to develop games for the PC on the simple basis of the ease of piracy. Sure the graphics can be better on a PC, so what? Graphics don't make a game great, gameplay does. And you'd be hardpressed to argue that there is more recent good games for the PC than there is for the consoles, and the ones that are available for PC usually come out for console as well. So perhaps you should buy a console, and see what you're missing.

i called and the guy told me it would be $100 for the service.. i said no thanks. but there's a place called atronix by my place. i can get it fixed there for cheaper i hope. if i get a good price i might even throw in a 120GB hard drive w/ 10 free games and a mod chip installed for about $200

Nice. I woudlnt mind modding my x-box but it would be too much of a pain in the ass, and buying games doesnt bother me too much. if i hafd to wipe my harddrive i woudl shoot someone sooo many cd's that i dont have anymore.

it's a shame my xbox gets a better framerate than my computer :ninja:

btw, my computer's not THAT bad...

it's easier for game developers to make games for a platform when the platform is constant. an xbox's hardware doesn't change. everyone's computer has different hardware, from different manufacturers. things are simpler on the xbox, and they can play games just as well as a PC if not better.
