A few days ago, Microsoft launched a new site to make it easier to register and/or repair your Xbox 360. What does this mean for you? Hopefully, it wraps you in a pretty blanket that will keep you safe and warm. Our good friends at GamerscoreBlog can sum it up for you real fast:
For those of you who require sending your Xbox or Xbox 360 in for repairs, we now have another option to speed things along. Xbox.com has an online option for customers in the US, now available at http://service.xbox.com.
This new service lets you register your Xbox or Xbox 360 console, setup a repair, and track the status of the repair, all online. This new site lets you create In-Warranty or Out-of-warranty repairs, and even gives you a $5 discount for Out-of-Warranty repairs.
If you're a really curious person, hit the jump to see what happened when I tried it myself.
Well, as you can see, it didn't go over to well. I hate -- really hate -- Occurred's.
After attempting to register three different Xbox 360s all with the same result, I had to give up. So, while they have it up, it appears that there are a few bugs so be patient.
You may be asking, "Hey Ron, why did you try and register three different 360s?" Well ... I stopped at three, but I had more. But to answer your question that I am asking me (to keep you from asking) it is because my neighbors think there is a street intersection in my room with all the flashing red lights.

Isn't that kinda jumping the gun? Who has a 3 year old xbox? I know people get disc read errors sometimes, but how often are xbox's failing outside of the RROD syndrome?
Any wonder they hadn't heard from me yet? Nice pic, by the way.
All jokes aside, it sure seems that way.
FIX THIS SHIT MS
The 360 is really the lord of the ring ... of death lollll
When the 360 had 2 millions customers ... i still remeber some people talking about the ring of death in a very large proportion ... probably 1/3 like right now :))) ... now Ron tell me now that most of the customers are happy customers :)))))
Yes we don't have many games right now .... but at least we have a console to play the few games we have ... you have many games .... but no console because most of the time ... you must sent your 360 to M$ to be fix ! lolll ring of death ... what a joke :))))))
if the PS3 had 10 millions sold ... on this M$ fanboys site you would still see they only sold 1 million.
This site is a joke ... but it's soooo funny reading comments from thoses M$ butt suckers ... can't stop my self from reading it lollll

But I think people are just inpatient, games are coming these 2 coming months. Ron, can I blow your head off with my Warhawk n hear your screams? ;x
All systems always start slow, tell me what AAA games 360 had @ 8 month of its lifespan? same for Wii, same for PS3, it takes a while for developers to get used to the system, people need to understand that, people need to understand 360 has games because its been almost 2 years out. and Wii and PS3 have only 8 months.
STILL I noticed one thing, Wii is not letting developers make games that challenge any of their first party titles, thats not good, unlike sony and MS they let dev make w/e games they want as long as its good.
You know that line, ...it's all about choice?
People can choose to purchase a PS3 if they want one.
I do my best. Five years from now, no one will give a fuck about the 360, PS3, or Wii. They'll be too busy arguing over exclusives for the new systems, and it'll be just as lame then as it is now.
-they'll be pissing and moaning
-comparing their e-peens via hardware of said consoles
-screaming about "shipped" versus "sold"
-opting to being anonymous internet fucksticks online as opposed to playing the console they're "defending."
Gaming would be a lot better without the incessant insecurity-enabled-douchebaggery that comes along with it.
Grow up.
Be thankful that Sony / Microsoft / Nintendo are all throwing down right now. Honestly, their loyalty isn't to you, but what's in your wallet - and I know you and everyone that reads this site already knows that - but it bears repeating:
Sony and Microsoft and Nintendo are going to do whatever's in their best interest - if they fuck up, it's their own damn fault and not ours as gamers, and I still don't get why folks get so emotionally wrapped up in the business aspect of gaming. It's interesting, sure, but bitching about a company's percieved indiscretions is a total fucking waste of time.
BTW, Ron, I actually have a 360. It's a nice console, wish the backwards compatibility wasn't so gimped, but it's good to see that MS is working on that, so it'll come with time. Whatever. Also, mine bricked, but they fixed it for free, which was big on their part. All in all, it's a mix of good and bad, just like every other console that's ever come out before it.
I'm just saying, with the three consoles that are out right now, it should be a veritable gaming menage a'trois, but some gamers are too high and mighty, and thus, "won't fuck the fat friend" - and yet everyone's definition of just who the "fat friend" is differs.
It's a good time to be a gamer, if you can get past yourself (and that's not directed at *you* personally, Ron, that's toward anyone who hates any console in general). That's all I'm sayin'.
Bravo guys, bravo.
you have a nice XBL woooowwww i'm very impress :-//// when you'll get your next RROD just keep paying for you XBL while waiting for your XCRAP
I have the PS3 since last november and i never regret my purchase in any way... i play with with it everyday and by the way never watch a BD movie on it ... i know next fall will have good games to come ... can't wait for socom confrontation ... who needs halo 3 :)))) i just remember on my old xbox when i was on halo 2 thoses anoying kids playing online ... so again who needs halo 3
I'm testing HOME right now ... and it's gonna have a lot of potential for the future ... so telling that the^PS3 worth nothing is total M$ fanboy shit ... 380 games by the end of 2008 for the PS3 is more then enough for me to be positive.
no need to buy add-ons just games ... can you tell the same if you wanna watch a movie ;) by the way do you think people right now wants to buy that very expensive HD-DVD player at 179$ when BD format is winning ... like i said before ... just put all add-ons on your very defective XCRAP and you'll get a very expensive defective XCRAP ... oh but you have a lot of crappy games i forgot! ... yes some pretty good exclusives but most of the games are kind of boring games
Stop being a jackass Ron please ... Stop :))))))
Not this picture again :-/
about your stupid comment
It's Im OK waiting is 360 to be fix for RROD .... gotta love those nachos :-)))))
what you gonna take me to court lollll using star wars picture without permission ... humm not sure if it's legal lollllllll your funny dude ..... no really you are :)))))))))
4 cereal. Even though Snail is pissed at me. I got a PS3 because of the RROD. Call me a pussy all you want. I'm happy with my decision. If I had bought the PS3 at launch I'd probably be upset but as it is I'm having fun with Resistance and Motorstorm. I also have the Wii, and I'm still having fun with WiiSports. I'm very much looking forward to Galaxy and Smash.
Other than Snail constantly yelling at me I'm happy with my purchases.
Now where can I find a cheap 360 at?
At least he was articulate and used proper grammar and spelling most of the time.)
yeah i made some mistake for the grammar .. that's because it's not my first language ... but i'm able to tell you in your own language that you are still an idiot ... your here telling us that your not a fanboy and you don't even own a 360 ... the way i see it you probably don't even have a super NES ... so stop bashing about stuff you don't have
In my own language i would say this .... ta yeule caliss de niaiseux
your so bright i'm sure you'll figure it out right :))))
on the 360 you also have your own movie to win this war
LORD OF THE RING .... OF DEATH
