I'd still like to refer you to your original post... <br> &quot;According to my extra special 'whatever happens' paperwork I should be <br> able to walk into the store I purchased my unit from and walk right back <br> out with a replacement.&quot; <br> That didn't happen did it? So that paperwork is worth jackshit. If it <br> does indeed say you will get a replacement 'whatever happens' why didn't

You appear to be determined to refuse to understand a set of circumstances <br> which actually makes this a decent deal in the situation. Quite why you need <br> to resort to ranting and insults is beyond me...it doesn't really do you any <br> favours. I've merely done something you disagree with and got a result that

Curry's is very close to me, and as I've replied elsewhere it probably takes <br> longer to get through to a support person than it does for me to get to the <br> store. I'll have to test that when I'm back in the area. <br> My money's worth comes from the simple fact that right now having someone <br> else handle all the faffing around means I can fulfil important commitments.

Indeed, and value is relative. Time is also money and, in my position, time <br> spent faffing around on support lines, packing a consignment and waiting for <br> a courier is time I didn't really have.

True, but at least the ball is rolling and I am not having to worry about <br> ringing anyone, packing anything or waiting around for an unspecified time <br> for UPS to arrive. <br> Time, my friend, is money. In my case, more money than I can afford to allow <br> to pass by <br> I don't believe I linked the presence of the console to the contract. The

You can play the Half Life and Portal games without a 'net connection (so <br> far as I know). The Team Fortress game does need one (again, so far as I <br> know). <br> To put it another way: I have the Orange Box (and it's damn good) and <br> although I _do_ have my 360 connected to the 'net, I only have a Silver <br> account[0]. I'm not _aware_ that it tried to do anything 'net related.

Hello, <br> I know its been out for years, but I'm thinking of getting Half Life 2 - Orange Box for <br> my dad for christmas. Can anyone tell me if you need a internet connection to play it on <br> the Xbox360? <br> Thanks.
