Microsoft launches new site for online repairs...  photo

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.

Price is wrong

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.

PSA: No Peter Moores were harmed in the creation of this post.

I OWN A PLAYSTATION 3 SO ANYTHING BAD POSTED ABOUT IT MUST BE FLAMED AND WHOEVER POSTED IT MUST OWN A X-BOX 360 AND MUST BE 100% HAPPY WITH IT BECAUSE THEY ARE FANBOYS AND THEY ARE POSTING BAD NEWS ABOUT THE PS3 FUCK PLAYING GAMES BECAUSE BITCHING ABOUT MY FAVORITE SYSTEMS IS MORE CONSTRUCTIVE.

I don't even own a 360 (yet).

You are aware of what happens when one assumes things, right?

Also, you might want to be a bit more careful about where you get your images from. Just a word of warning.

I don't believe you looked up far enough to see what I was referring to. I guess it is more true than even I thought.

It's all about the Talladega Nights!!!!eleventy.

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?

@Quest and Hells_666

You know, I'll take back what I said about the need for you guys to grow up. Participating in this thread has taught me just how alluring and appealing it can be to be an immature asshole just like you guys are. My only complaint is that you guys make it too easy.

@bhive01

For what it's worth, the reason I don't yet own a 360 myself is because of the RROD, as well. When Microsoft ever finally gets around to fixing that shit, I'll get one.

However, it seems that simply because I take issue with Quest's and Hells_666's rampant trolling, that apparently makes me a raving XBox 360 fanboy, just as disagreeing with Summa back in the day made me a raving Nintendo fanboy. *shrug* Oh well.

(Not to unduly insult Summa by comparing him to Quest and Hells_666, mind you. Not even Summa deserves that. 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 :))))

@Quest

Dude, I could not care less if your native language is English, Spanish, Japanese, Esperanto, Klingon, or fucking Lojban. You're still an immature, trolling asshole.

And, yes, I do own a SNES. There you go assuming shit again. Besides, what the hell does that have to do with the price of tea in China? Also, unless I'm horribly mistaken, I'm not the one doing the bashing of the 360 here, you fucking hypocrite. But, you do have a point in that I also don't own any retarded Sony fanboys, so I suppose I shouldn't be bashing you guys like this, either, right?

And before anyone else tells me to stop feeding the damn trolls, yes, you're absolutely right. This is my final post to this thread.

Holy tits this discussion is insane. So umm, I have to call M$ tomorrow. Long story short, I opened my 360 AFTER my one year warranty was up to fix it instead of spending $140. Anyway, about a month later they announce the three year warranty, and then last week I got the three red lights again. I'm hoping that I can convince them to fix it.

Hey Jim lol, I bet ur having a blast, another epic post looks like its coming this way and all u had to do was build it, and go to sleep...

GENIUS!!!...

bmdubya, honestly I would just call M$ and tell them to fix it, dont tell them u opened it, put everything back how it was and ship it. Hope you get a replacement.

guys all in all, Hell666, Quest, you guys are entertaining but, I think people who buy a 360 and dies on them is very unfortunate and I dont wish that to anyone. Innocent gamers like bmdubya get screwed and thats not fun.

I want a nice clean console war fight. imagine Ron about to fight Tyson in Spike TV, but he goes in with a bikini and sick. Even dough hes going to get his ass whooped, the fight should be as clean as possible n he should go in healthy to be fair.

My 360 bricked it tonight. Tight.

Luckily, I have a replacement plan at Best Buy.

I'm contemplating upgrading to an Elite for the HDMI biznass, but I'll likely just take my free 360 and move along.

OK, so the site's having issues, but instead of giving you an automatic means of reporting it (say, "hit this button to report the error message"), they just drop you back to the 800# you were trying to avoid in the first place. Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice. Great way to track problems with your site MS.

And BTW, that graveyard image is now my wallpaper, BWUHAHAHAHAHA!
