For the controller: Are you pressing the button on the controller alone, or the button on the console? To make a wireless controller sync for the first time you have to hit the sync button on the console.

I can't help with the disc problem. Kind of sounds like your buddy screwed you.

A. not really 360 related

B. I don't come to GS for the reviews. Sorry, but don't care.

Okay, I need to be more clear. I have both component cables (yellow-red-white) and a VGA cable (which goes into my computer monitor) and neither works. The switch on the component is not on HD, thanks for trying, though.

I can get sound on both setups, but no video.

I can't get video on my 360. I get audio just fine, but I can't get video with either my regular yellow-red-white cables or my VGA cable. I've unplugged and replugged everything multiple times. It's worked just fine up until now. Honestly, I only dusted it off last week because of Mass Effect. It was playing just fine last night (and every day since ME came out, for that matter) but I get up this morning and I just can't get a picture. It doesn't change color or anything. You can't even tell I turned it on.

Is there anything I can do besides sending it in for repairs? If not, how much would it cost to get repairs? Lastly, if all else fails, is there anywhere I can sell a non-working 360, or should I just take it out back with a hammer and go back to the PS2?

I don't have an answer, but I have a question. Why would you want to? If you don't plan on logging into live, why do you care if it has your achievement points on live?

Strictly out of curiousity

If by "repetitive" he meant "I've played this game before", then yeah, it's repetitive. It's still a great game, but it's RE4. It's definitely the best version, but that's just it. It's a new version of the same game. Outside of the control scheme all I can really remember thinking about it in the half hour I played it at a friend's house was "Yep, this is RE4 alright... This is definitely that game I beat on gamecube well over a dozen times, then played several more times on PS2"

If you've never played RE4, it's a must buy. If you played it once or twice, than I can still recommend it at it's current price. If you played the living hell out of it like I did, then I can't recommend even renting it.

Okay. I'll check the links in case they shed some light on this topic, but I'd just like to point out that before doing so, I have no idea what the **** you are talking about.

edit: Oh, it's a conversation on some messenger. On this monitor I'd have to scroll to the right to finish a single sentence, so **** that. I'm just going to assume this is a waste of time and leave it at that.
