But what ticked me the most is thousands maybe even ten's of thousands of young kids and adults buy these consoles, some of them saving for a long time to buy a xbox and to enjoy it for maybe a year or two till it breaks down and then Microsoft gives them a line of BS that they have to go through to get it replaced, some not even able to get it repaired, because of some crap "your console was tampered with" or your warranty was expired". I didn't do this just for me, I did it for everyone

Very noble of you. I don't believe you.
Your box only needed a repair to the drive.
You have serious anger issues

When it comes to the 3 red lights of death I think m$ should cover every console, even if the warranty seal is broken.. hell, even if it's been modded.. We all know it wasn't the mod that caused the 3 red lights and we all know that opening it does not cause the 3 red lights. Yes there will be those few cases where a dumbass opens their xbox and makes the xbox 3rrod, but those are few.

Don't talk crap. Read the so called fixes in here to see who screws what up. None of the fixes are real fixes. Why should MS pay engineers to check. Time is money. nothing worse than repairing one fault to find 4 others lying in wait caused by some Ape with cows tits for fingers who thinks a good repair is to offer a flamethrower to his/her motherboard.
Sorry I don't even believe the original story about replacement. Still it gets someone their 5 minutes of fame when people take it in.

Most people wouldn't be trying to repair their own xboxes if it were covered under warranty in the first place.

You know M$ designed a shitty machine, YOU KNOW THIS. The failure rate is unacceptable by anybody's standards. Yes there will be those few idiot that opened their xbox and probably screwed something else up, but for the most part most of these people are just modders that had a working xbox that failed from m$'s manufacturing defect.

I'm just saying.. m$ should do the right thing for the modders, case modders, fan modders, etc. They have the money, they should just make things right.

Now this is where I'm going to get flamed. I expected a lot more from M$, I really did. Something like this should have been caught during QA testing and it probably was, but hey.. I guess it's all about money. At this point people are doing x-clamp fixes, penny tricks, heatgun, ovens and swapping (it happens, we all know it). It's a shame because it hurts the consumer when they buy a 400 dollar xbox to have it die on them, that's a car payment! It hurts the retail outlets because there are people swapping these machines or putting phone books in the cases. It hurts people trying to buy second hand x360's because who knows what's been done to it?

There will be those few cases where somebody will open up an xbox and ruin something other than the 3rrod, but the fact is MOST of them are not. Should we punish everybody for the few bad apples?

I believe you....hope that make you feel better.

I'm pretty sure more people will believe you if you post frame by frame pictures of you opening up the core console that Microsoft Sends you.

Yeah you are right. Might have not spent the necessary time to test it out in the real world and that is why they are were able to release the console way ahead of all the other 2 companies.

Good idea... I will post a link of step by step when i get my core console

Haha oh yea. I just recieved my core console today. For all who don't believe me I will be posting a link to pictures of opening my console and a picture of the letter Microsoft sent me telling me how much they apologize for all my inconvience.

Slothtoes · « **Reply #35 on:** March 23, 2008, 08:21:00 PM »

Well completely different problem but sorta the same: My red lights came on and I called blah blah blah. She says " Please remove something something something. ( which happened many times because she can't speak clearly and way to fast.) What did you say ma'am? Remove the faceplate. Still unclear and not knowing what the face plate was exactly I say the white part? she said yes. Well behold look at that sticker. Peel. And now I'm screwed. Because I misunderstood.

Well Its not really my console breaking down that pissed me off, I really don't care if I have to buy another console they aren't very expensive.
But what ticked me the most is thousands maybe even ten's of thousands of young kids and adults buy these consoles, some of them saving for a long time to buy a xbox and to enjoy it for maybe a year or two till it breaks down and then Microsoft gives them a line of BS that they have to go through to get it replaced, some not even able to get it repaired, because of some crap "your console was tampered with" or your warranty was expired". I didn't do this just for me, I did it for everyone haha. And if Microsoft ever tries to charge me with anything, like for example a $150.00 charge I will gladly send them a photocopy of a hundred dollar bill and a fifty.

Yeah a good point, there are a lot of people who arent as lucky as you have been...

Im looking forward to the pics of the new console and the letter you got.

You got the pictures of the letter scanned yet.
I am not bothered about seeing you open a core console, but this letter of apology sets a serious precedent for MS. it means we can all beat our consoles to death and have them replaced and get MS to be sorry that we did it as well.

Exactly... If I, for example, were to do the exact same thing and have M$ tell me to bugger off because I wrecked my console, it would be discrimination. They cant do something special for one person, then turn around and say 'Bugger off, were not fixing your console!' to another person in the exact same situation. Otherwise if im not mistaken M$ could get sued for quite a lot of money...

So yes im looking forward to seeing this letter...

Letter??
Your scanner sure is slow.

Chancer · « **Reply #40 on:** April 12, 2008, 10:52:00 AM »

Scanner broken? Where is this letter?
I would have thought you wanted to prove me wrong.

...and in the end we find just another kid throwing a tantrum and thinking he's funny to send a busted console back to MS....

...of course I will stand corrected if a LEGITIMATE letter actually appears, but I seriously doubt this story...

...and yes, he DOES have some anger issues.

I dont think his scanner is broken if anything is broken then it is his PC, router, modem or what so ever
He hasnt been online since he posted his last reply

I am already looking forward to the explanation for his disappearance

Chancer · « **Reply #43 on:** April 20, 2008, 03:56:00 AM »

Long enough to respond, I think.
Funny how you disappear from XS having tried for some fame and spun a bullshit story to everyone.

I have a video card problem. when I play my games it looks as if its in "safe mode." Micrsoft said that to repair this I will have to pay them 100 dollars. If I told them that I "turned it on to check if it worked one last time, and it went kaput" would this get me a new xbox? Could it void my warranty?

Kaputt, LOL
Guten Tag erstmal...
I guess you mean that the 360 is showing an error message on the screen like E74?
actually I have no clue what you mean, what do you think will get you a new xbox?
As long as you dont open(destroy the warranty sticker) your 360 you dont void your warranty.
And just by the way warranty fraud is not allowed on here and will get you banned...
