So here's one for ya

[HeartlessNinny]

A while back, the disc drive on my 360 gave up the ghost (or so I thought — more on that in a sec). No matter what I did, it would never realize the disc was there and always thought the drive was empty. I tried messing with it at great length, but no dice. Either way I wasn't surprised, given the ludicrous failure rate of this hardware, so I thought I'd call up MS and claim I had the RROD. Apparently just saying you get it intermittently is enough to get a refurb in the mail.

Anyway. I'm sick of their bullshit and I didn't feel like finding/buying a box to ship it in, so I requested a box be sent to me. They didn't seem too keen on that, but I insisted.

Well that shit took almost two months to arrive. The first one never turned up at all, and the second one was very late. So I go to box up my 360, and I decide to check if there's a disc in there.

While I was at it, I thought I'd see if it still didn't work... And fuck if it works just fine all of a sudden. I'm quite surprised — I tried it on and off for a couple days when it started to fail, and it didn't work even once.

So what do you all think I should do? Send it anyway, or wait for it to fail again? I can't honestly make up my mind, though I think I'm leaning towards sending it anyway.

they make magic 8 balls just for this purpose.

Christ....someone move these useless threads to the war room.



LIEK AMAGAD GAISE WHAT DO U THINK I SHOULD DO NEXT? SEND IT IN? KEEP IT?!


WHAAAAA. HELP ME DECIDE BECAUSE I'M A LUMP AND NEED PEOPLE TO TALK TO.

This is why I gave up on the 360 a long time ago. My launch PS3 has run for 1000's of hours spinning disks and hasn't given me any shit at all.

Kept my 360 games in case they ever decide to make a reliable console.

We still need a 360 section

I can tell you that M$ has lost me as a customer with their RRoD fiasco.

I won't be getting their next system, the 720, the Xbox 3 or whatever the fuck they'll call it.

The fact that they're blantant money whores, nickel and diming you for everything, and plastering their online service with ads, and the fact that they're Microsoft doesn't help either.

 

[kernow]

I can't believe theres ads on a paid service, sucks.

[kernow]

For you maybe, for me I'd rather take uncharted 1/2, mgs4, etc.

 

[Average Joe]

I was actually speaking on behalf of Billy Dee Williams.

Who's that?

Oh that Lando guy. Yeah.

It's so cutting edge to put the dollar sign in place of the "S" when abbreviating Microsoft.

What are we, fucking 12 Greg?

That shit was played out by 1996.

 

[Taiso]

Send it in.

Now, while you know what their policy is on product support.

At some point, this may change and you may get fuckered.

So send it now.

Have fun killing one of them on purpose.

It's just as valid today as it was in '96. I mean really, people pay for the service, yet the start screen is plastered with ads? if that doesn't warrant a $, I don't know what does.

Do you ever post anything usefull?So far i didn't notice,I only see your bullshit comments.
Nothing contributive,so how can you complain about what this site does and doesn't need?
Please explain.

 

[Metal Slugnuts]

Send it in. Even if it's working now you did have a problem with it and it could show up again. Plus if they replace it your warranty gets refreshed.

 

[NotoriousReignz]

Definitely send it in, it's playing games with you now.

It's time to send The Rock Pile over to Micro$oft and let them mahfuckahs know what time it is. "KnowwhatI'msayin?"

Oh that Lando guy. Yeah.

Dude... he's so much more than the Lando guy (or the first Harvey Dent):

Well... he's not entirely over the Lando thing...

Bonus points: the actual Pope Lando, who reigned during the Pornocracy --and dear god, I'm not making that up.

Pornocracy ? For reals?? Is that the porno sequel to idiocracy?

The current gen race is like the special olympics, the winner is still retarded.

 

[HeartlessNinny]

I hadn't thought of the warranty expiring... Yeah. I'll send it in.

Thanks for the thoughts, boys (those of you that bothered to have any, that is).
