MNdgame 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2005 i think these are for can models only Yeah I guess so. I get "We have determined that your Xbox console requires a replacement cord. Microsoft will send you a new cord, at no cost, to replace the cord that originally came with your Xbox console." But then when I try to chose the shipping address I can only chose Canadien "states"... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MNdgame 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2005 Well Im retarded, I just figured it out for anybody in the US if they want one. http://replacements.webprogram.com/ go there no to the other link. The other one already had canada selected as a country. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fonya 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2005 Ask your friend if the drive is thompson, phillips or samsung. Samsung is the best and comes on all the newer models, phillips is alright and thompson is the worst no for games freezing and messing up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fonya 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2005 Heres the link to pictures of the drivesLinkIf its not a phillips or samsung(the best one) you should ask if he will knock a bit off since its a more crappier driver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
