Cost me £34.39 

I was going to buy the VGA cable to use on my monitor but they wouldn't take my Xbox 1 because it didnt have the reissued power cable. So I was feeling stingy and didn't buy it. Now I have to call Microsoft and ask nicely for a free power cable, then I can trade it in for £35.


When I started it up it asked for a profile, offline or Live. So I put my Live details in from my Xbox 1 account and it wouldn't accept it. So I went on the Xbox website and it told me to check my details by going into my account settings on the Xbox 1. Dammit. I had deleted my account settings because I was trading it in.

If I cancel my account will I be partially refunded?

Edit: I've got my Live account sorted. It turns out instead of James William Surname I was using JW Surname, and not even J W Surname.

He traded in a lot of stuff and his parent paid for some for his birthday is my guess.

Yep. Around £200 in credit from trading in loads of old crap I haven't played for a long time, and £75 from my parents.

I forgot what I had read about it needing high definition, though. Most of the text is too small to read. I was hoping to get a new PC monitor at the same time but I'm still looking around for a good one.

Yeah, I like how next-gen game makers assume that everyone has HD. Although my dad says that the Wii not having HD is a major kick in the butt for them. Then again, he hasn't seen the wishlists for Wii.

Anyway, not a bad deal at all. Man, putting that next to the N64 there made me realize just how massive it is.

I got an email today saying the PC monitor I ordered from Amazon on the 18th of October was going to be an extra 1-2 weeks on top of the estimate of being delivered 2 weeks from now. So I cancelled the order, went into town, and got one with the same specs for £10 more from Argos. Simple.

That's actually how light my room is with the lights on. I should get some brighter ones.

Edit: I got a lamp into my room and now I've got a better picture.
