http://forums.xbox.c...PostID=12716953I love the 360 it's a brilliant idea, the practicality of the physical piece of hardware is now quesitonable. I've had to resort to using a towel to fix mine, the $200AUD price tag for MS to fix it is just ridiculous. Especially considering the console was only 2 months out of warranty, I work in IT and most places like HP will normally give you warranty if it's that close to it. 6 months out no way, 2 months maybe type stuff, I got told by the N00B on the xbox support phone that warranty is warranty and
I had to bight my tongue not to reply sh!t service is sh!t service.
What's this X clamp Removable method that I've heard mentioned in here?
Check out the three red light club on xbox.com, I'm telling people to not give them anymore money buy a 360 second hand if you have to, we need to make microsoft hurt here. Unfortunately the only way they're going to listen is if we hurt them where it hurts most, their wallets.
I'm thinking of going so far as to setup a boicot halo3 website until Microsoft acknowledge there terrible hardware and do something about it. I'm beyond reprive now, I think the towel trick should definitely render my warranty invalid but what about the poor mums and dads that have scraped to get their kids the latest in greatest, that's who I want Microsoft to help.
You're dodgy bastards Microsoft and I'm calling you liars, not salesman just dirty stinking filthy liars. I believed all your bullshit about 2-3% failure rate which I attributed to people not setting their consoles up in the best environment (tucked away in a tiny shelf etc), but I've treated my console with the upmost respect and it's never had a day where it's had any of it's vents blocked or anything like that, always good air flow and always kept clean (until having to resort to the towel trick that is). Anyway that's my spleen vented I'm off to bed.
