FUCK YOU MICROSOFT
mackisawesome | 12:44 PM on 12.29.2007 30 comments



Anyways, now thats out of the way, i called microsoft today about a disc unreadable error i keep getting with assassins creed and oblivion. This sometimes happens randomly depending on how my xbox is feeling this day. Today i'm playing AC and i decide that i'm sick of this bullshit and i decide to call microsoft.

I had called them once before about the same issue, and it seemed to have been fixed for the most part. The person who helped me out was extremely friendly and had set me up for a free repair and such.

I call today and they say that my warranty was out of date and that they had to charge me 100 bucks to fix the drive. I told them that because the problem was never fixed before that they should honour their previous repair. They told me that they were "sorry i felt that way" and said that the repair was still 100 dollars. I told them to go fuck themselves, they have horrible customer service and that they should really take an example from nintendo's absolutely exceptional customer service.

(in the recent past one of the buttons on my DS stopped working. I called them, they SENT ME A NEW DS, i take the new ds out of the box, put my old DS in the box, and send it back. From there they gave me an additional 2 year warranty on my new one)

So fellow dtoiders all i have to say is FUCK XBOX, PC GAMING FOR LYFE![img][/img][img][/img]

Though I don't understand how you feel as I've not had the problem yet, I can only imagine it. Sorry you've had problems to the point of assploding your xbox. Though I do feel as MS has made strides in their repairs and warranties, it sucks when it doesn't benefit you.

That's a bit extreme and I'm not the biggest advocate for the 360.

At least you can take it to Best Buy and they'll give you another one...I hear they don't check return mercandise..lol

i agree with Heretic
taumpytears's Destructoid Blog
Why would you yell at the customer service people? It's not like they choose what the rules are. They even said they thought you were right.
Yashoki's Destructoid Blog
Did Heretic and DarkTravesty even read the post? Seriously, anybody who's ever had to deal with customer service knows this is pretty fucked up. They didnt fix his problem the first time, so why should he have to pay for them to fix the problem again?

that's a really sad 360......

Well, good luck. nintendo is pretty good with that sort of stuff, that's for sure.

Sometimes you buy something to do a specific task, (for instance: play games) and it does the opposite.

@Yojimbo

They changed their policy. It was very recently, because it used to be they wouldn't, but I tried to do that with my Rock Band and they wouldn't let me switch it out for anything, much less give me a refund.

Ring back and demand a repair.
Variable Gear's Destructoid Blog
Hey, I like drivers too...

...Maybe we could get together sometime.

But, in all seriousness, that really sucks. It's their fault they made a crap system, and not your fault for trying to play games on it. Hopefully you find a way around the red tape.

It's so shiny on the inside.
JavTheGreat's Destructoid Blog
Tell them instead that you have the 3 red rings. I'm sure they'd fix it then.

This is me laughing at your face.
disneyninja's Destructoid Blog
If you tell them you have the RRoD they will test it there and if your system doesn't RRoD at the repair center they'll send it back without a repair...
Demios's Destructoid Blog
Holy shit would that picture be a world exclusive of the next Xbox...So broken, thats the way it looks out of the box?!?!

Seriously though their support here in Europe is awful to, considering how many people would have called them over RROD and Disc's not being readable etc...
brainderailment's Destructoid Blog
it looks like that liquiddy mirror from the matrix inside.

“It’s true, I’m a rageaholic...I just can’t live without rageahol!”

Seriously, though, that blows. They really should fix the issue for free; I hate technicalities like that.
Thornnn's Destructoid Blog
You should have just mailed it to me I would have gotten it fixed and kept it for myself.
Necros's Destructoid Blog
That sucks. I always hate it when companies don't honor their own fucking repairs.
