QUOTE (Guitarman700 @ Feb 29 2008, 10:47 PM)  I am not JUST UNLUCKY. microsoft makes CRAP products and then dont back them worth sh#$. the xbox 360 failure rate is ONE IN EVERY 6 CONSOLES. thats not just unlucky. If it's 1 in every 6 consoles and you had 7 break down on you I'd say you're either the most unlucky person on earth or you're not handling the consoles right. Maybe you keep them in warm sunlight, with too little air for cooling, outdoors in the rain, whatever. -------------------- My bands homepage

QUOTE (Guitarman700 @ Mar 1 2008, 12:04 AM) the thing is, they never tell you whats wrong. they take your broken console, and send a broken console someone else sent in, back to you. its terrible, exploitive business practices, but no one can stop them, because they stonewall everybody. even the u.s government is scared of microsoft, but their useless too, so it doesnt matter. No, they don't just pass broken concoles further to another customer. What do you base that upon? I base my assumption on common sence and the fact that a huge company couldn't take the risk of jeapordise their entire name on such a siilly thing. I had my 360 break, had a fast contact with their support, they had prolonged my warranty, UPS came to pick it up and exactly 2 weeks later UPS dropped off a brand new 360 at my doorstep. I'm both surpised how easy it went. I agree with you that it shouldn't break like that and I've seen figures for their budget for repairs so obviously they have a problem. Good thing is that they do their best to help all 360 owers, I'm not so sure that's very common unless it's obliged by law or security risks as it happens with cars from time to time that the manufacturers have to take responsibility for reparing at no cost. Still the car owner has to drive to the repair shop... UPS won't pick it up. I'm just a little sick and tired from all the MS bashing  There are alternatives but usualy the bashers stick to Windows for some reason. A shame since perhaps the competition would look different if people did.

QUOTE (Guitarman700 @ Mar 1 2008, 03:53 PM) the reason they keep breaking is because micro$oft keeps sending me other broken console's. thats their "refurbishing policy", i send mine in and i get someone else's broken console that they "repaired". yeah right. I don't belive that. EDIT: And btw there are consumer laws that would support you in that case. Here, if a product breaks from the same problem three times your allowed a full refund. Look up what possibilities you've got! This post has been edited by MickeM: Mar 1 2008, 04:10 PM -------------------- My bands homepage

Maybe it's trying to tell you something...dunno,
wasting lots of money on failure items isn't great and I'm sorry to hear all this, but on the other hand playing games isn't that productive as well. Of course we all neen time to relax but there are many better ways for doing that imho. I'd give it a break and try something else.
