Darned XBOX

I just got my hori ex2 stick a few days ago and when i'm starting to get a little used to it I go to play VF5 today and YEEEEESSSSSSSS /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cry.gif my disc is all the sudden unplayable along with any disc I put in,dvd,cd. The dang game is brand new, well bout 3months old but it's been pretty much sitting in my xbox and I take pretty good care of my games (not leaving em out the case stackin em n whatnot). Now I'll have to wait bout 2 friggin weeks before I can play again /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crazy.gif Just when I was getting the hang of this game a little and not too long after I get my hori stick...These next few weeks are gonna be rough /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif

 

My 360 RROD'd last week AND to top it off my hori stick is having problems staying on. I have to bend the wire on top of it at a certain angle and keep it like that in order for it to stay on or else I'll get a "Please reconnect controller message" during a match. Good luck with your stuff.

 

Ouch man, do you roll up your cord around the arcade stick? I think that will mess it up after a while of doing that since you'd be bending the wires alot, especially on the part where the cord comes out of the controller/arcade stick, wich sounds like that is where your problem is...That has happend to me before with older stuff like PS2 and the Original Xbox controllers from wraping the wire around the controller. Now I just roll it up like a garden hose or rope keeping the cord nice n loose and not too twisted n bunched up..Sucks to hear that man.
Thanks for wishin me luck' n good luck with ur stuff to mang.
Oh yea, just incase when I say roll it up I mean like when you put it away
