Oogle Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Do you know about those self-destructing DVDs? Well, this is MS trying to be pro-active ;) Seriously though, it shouldn't shake like an earthquake. Exchange it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olympusxp Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 It shouldn't shake too bad. I know that when I first turn mine on and the drive starts to spin it will shake, and also when I turn it off. Does the box actually move or is it internal?

iraklis2000 Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 i have a question too..i was in best buy yesterday, and an rca tv, on the tv it says "XBOX READY"..and not just a sticker..but you dont get an xbox with it or anything..what did ms buy rca now :p haha No, that TV has a special jack in the back(needs a special cable) that was designed for the XBOX. I believe it is the only TV on the market that has this jack at the moment. THis is in addition to a S-Video, RCA jack. I don't know how the quality of this is compared to component jacks, but from what I hear it is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmd3x Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 I thought my computer's cdrom drive busted the other day. It made a very loud vibrating noise, and it would have shook if it wasn't incased inside my computer tower. I took it out of my case and hit it with a screwdriver and put it back and it was ok. Maybe you outta get your xbox checked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

..... Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 sounds like it could be an off balance disc, or possibly a dual sided one ? (i get it with the shawshank redemption, but i'm not sure which it is as its my only dual sided disc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kryptonik Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Are you sure it shakes Tim? Wow, I thought you had to be a bodybuilder to lift that thing. Tim if I were you I would go to the store and tell them you want to exchange it. Don't tell them why because MAYBE if you do they'll tell you to call Microsoft and to talk to Microsoft you have to pay like $300.00 and hour. No lie.

Danrarbc Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 i have a question too..i was in best buy yesterday, and an rca tv, on the tv it says "XBOX READY"..and not just a sticker..but you dont get an xbox with it or anything..what did ms buy rca now :p haha No, that TV has a special jack in the back(needs a special cable) that was designed for the XBOX.

I don't know how the quality of this is compared to component jacks, but from what I hear it is pretty good. The jack is just a re-wired component video jack. It's just a gimmick, there is no quality benefit whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
