I saw, check out my post in the Thread:

I Just phoned PowerCare, the company that is handling the replacement of my console which has RROD. The lady on the phone assured me that the liquidation of MiDigital will not effect me receiving my replacement console. They are awaiting stock to be released from customs and it might be taking a little longer due to the liquidation. Lets hope she wasn't bsing me. But Tinman said in his article that emplyees had been sent home, so if it was the same company nodbody would have answered the phone.

This is really [email protected] news for Xbox owners in SA.

Well since our replacement consoles will be refurbished, thus not Jasper chipsets, it's not a matter of if, but when we'll have RROD or E74 issues again. So even when the new Xbox gets here I'll start saving up for a PS3. This is very sad.

[OmegaFenix]

I hate to say it but im also saving for a PS3.

Time to bring out the Vodka and sing unintelligible songs...

Ok so phoned them and according to the person who answered the phone "the stock still hasn't arrived" this has now hit 3 weeks. Ive thrown my toys but the woman just sticks to her story. So yeah now im left with no xbox and a shit load of games. I want my new box before Batman Arkham Asylum hits.

Yeah man, I've been waiting since the end of May. What are we to do? While my Xbox is kaput, I'm left without a Gaming console, DVD player, media centre (via Tversity) and entertainment when friends come over! (Scene It). Then, like you said, there's the money spent on games, and not to mention that Xbox Live Gold account gathering dust.

Is messed up yeah. I still have mah pc but there are somegames i dont play on PC. The only thing my pc is for is FPS Online and the likes of RPG's that are way to old to play on xbox.

I noticed you have your own website. Did you design it yourself or what? Just curious as i am thinking about getting my own one also and would like some more info.

Nice new avatar Omega - any news yet, or are you, like me, gatvol of calling them and getting the same answer?

[OmegaFenix]

I havent actually phoned them after mondays thing, think i might now. Work keeps me a little busy so i just didn't get round to it. Ill give them a call even though im sure im just going to get the same stupid answer.

Thnx. I have sever different ones. Swap them out depending on my mood and so on.
