    How does the warranty work?

    I know when you buy a new xbox you are covered against everything for 1 year and the RROD for 3 years. I had a replacement sent out to me a few weeks ago for the RROD. When playing Bioshock this week I noticed that on 1 particular level the graphics would get very strange. The screen would start blinking different colours making the level almost unplayable. The strange thing is it only happens on this 1 level and no where else in the game. So I'm guessing I might have a dodgy graphics chip problem as all the cables and settings are correct. Does the replacement xbox automatically get a new 1 year warranty as this wouldn't be RROD problem and I would have bought the original xbox well over 1 year ago?

    would the fact that it only occurs on one level of one game not suggest that it's a problem with the game/disk? Or was it ok on your original box?

    It was perfectly fine on the last xbox. Doesn't make sense that it only happens on this 1 level. I loaded it twice to make sure and the problem persisted. I'll check it again tonight. But if there is a graphics chips problem would I be covered under warranty?

    Hey, believe it or not when I was playing this game too the exzact same thing happened me. sometimes it would all gofunny the colours and that. it hougth it was my tv acting up. and the only way I could get it back to normal was to reload the last save and it would go back to normal, and wouldn't happen in the last place it happened.
    Now that I see your post I think it must be a bug in the game when certain things happen

    That's good to know. Thought the box was going funny on me, must be a bug in the game!
