XBOX 360 : New XBOX E 74

Almost a year to the date that I purchased my second XBOX 360, I was confront with this message.


and the XBOX 360 was displaying this.



Basically, a hardware failure but Microsoft have extended the three year RROD warranty to cover this too. Its a good job, I still have my old repaired RROD XBOX 360.

General : THUS/Demon ADSL... the end!

I called Thus back and I was offered at a push, a measly one month free for Demon not actually upgrading me to ADSL2+. Bye, bye THUS and Demon, I am going to get another provider.

General : Thus/Demon, I am still waiting for my return call!

Nothing more to say other than "Where is my return call?". I have had brief contact from Demon asking if my ADSL works, but nothing from Demon's parent company Thus. This poor, very poor!
