Now let me get this straight, a new Xbox right now runs around $200 bucks and these (insert vernacular describing a horses rear) want me to give them $140 bucks, pay shipping, wait seven weeks and get back an old system with old parts in it? To hell with that! I get it, Microsoft isn't in the fix it business, they're in the sell it business. However when your product is so infamous for it's defects that the term "red ring" is inserted into everyday speech, you need to re examine your business motto. The thing that annoys me more then anything is my warranty was up on December 23rd. It almost makes me think that there's a kill switch implanted on these things to crap out right before Christmas so they can drive up sales even further.
TL:DR, I'm an annoyed Xbox user right now.
lol, interesting post. I've never really been into the Xbox but I do go over to friends' houses once in a while to play some Halo or COD :)
ReplyDeleteJust curious, where are you studying in Northern California? I'm also located in the area. Anyways, following and supporting!

I'm San Francisco based, studying in Napa Valley. I've taken just a bit of time off, and am planning on roaming for a little bit.
ReplyDeleteThis is why I stick to PC gaming. Plus, I'm unable to fork out the cash for an HDTV.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree that PC gaming is the way to go.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever thought about going over to the PS3? I don't know of any complaints from friends of mine that have one.
ReplyDeleteThought about it, it's just that I have around 70 games for my 360 and at this point it'd seem like a shame to switch consoles.
ReplyDeleteMy 360 is stating to sound like a lawn mower when I turn it on. I'm going to spend a little of my school money this semester and just get myself a brand new one. Mine is still the same one I got at launch.
ReplyDeleteJust making my daily rounds, showing some support to my fellow bloggers.
