    The problem was that 1000's of 360's died and started freezing up ramdomly after the autumn update and microsoft stated they would fix each case independantly if you phoned them up and paided them $140 to fix the box.

    so there's your problem/issue i myself have a freezing 360 which can be rather annoying all due to microsofts negligence.

    If they want $140 to fix something that their update f*cked up, then I would f*ckin sue as well!!

    Is it confirmed these boxes were retail and not modded in any way?

    If they were modded then fair enough for Billy boy to charge, but if not then it`s well out of order - like he needs the money, he could clear world famine with his interest every month!

    Oh to go to the cashpoint and have "Scroll Left" and "Scroll Right" on your balance screen.....

    It was killing unmodded 360's also. For some people I think this was the second one they had had broken by the update.
