Microsoft betrayed me

[Liger_Zero offline]

God D*mn it! My Xbox 360 has been giving me problems lately. Constant freeze-ups. Error messages. Overheating when it's only been on for 2 minutes. And refusing to even boot up at all. Microsoft said it would cost $129 to fix, and there aren't any authorized Xbox 360 dealers who can service it. I'm LUCKY to have my Xbox still running. I figured the Rant section would be perfect for this even though there's NOTHING any of you can do. I'm in a lose-lose situation here.

Yeah, I heard Xbox would have a alot of Glitches. This happened to someone I know too. Maybe the machines are starting to Riot, it's war of the World's I tell you! MUHAHA!!! (JK)

Well, I have no Idea what to tell you. Sorry

well...this is similar to when the PS2's first came out, they were breaking right and left, the current system I have is the 3rd or 4th one that I have had to purchase...otherwise, its been good...all I can say is that maybe the XBox 360 will work out the same way, they will fix their errors and it will end up being a good system...at least I hope so. I wish I knew how to help you with this. sorry man. I am sure the PS3 will be the same way, the first few batches will have problems, then after that they will solve it and everything will be good...thats just the way things work I guess.

1) I 've had it since Christmas.
2)Tried it. A Nyko Intercooler. Biggest waste of twenty bucks in my life.

And THIS is why I don't buy game consoles. Not only this, but I'm not the gaming type.

...

I know, wrong thing to say. Try giving it a rest for a day or two. That could help. Of course, I know nothing about Xboxes, so...

You've got a defective system. New X-Box consoles always have that kind of trouble. Return the X-Box 360, get a refund, wait until after the Christmas season, and get a new one.

*waves hand boredly* Mmm, this is why I hate Microsoft. Glitchy as hell. Unfortunately we don't have a Mac in our house.

Sometimes game systems are a little off the rock depending on when the stock is released. Like, there was one point where PSPs first came out, and they were all sold. But PSP version 2s were sent out for the next stock and quite a few people complained about something being wrong with it. (I think this is the wrong console I'm talking about, but it happens at some point with all systems.)

'Course, I know nothin' about Xboxes, so good luck with it.

You all need to get a Dell or an E-Machienes.

The xBox is too big on on inside, it doesn't have enough room to cool itself down. Even in the first 15 minutes realesh problems where all complaining like crazy. The best thing to do is get a better consol. Or wait until Microsoft can do somthing.

Try leaving it alone, and not playing it for like a week or two.

Xbox, IMO... no. xD But that's just 'cause my loyalties are with Nintendo.

Um, anyway, the real reason I'm commenting on this thread is because I just found it sort of amusing.... From the title view it says "Microsoft Betrayed me" ... posted by Xana.

Okay, I'm done.

Element of irony

[Rail Runner offline]

seriously..just wait until the holidays and get a new one..the new shipments should be coming in around that time...this batch is still the first or second round...usually they have the problems sorted out by the third round..or at least I hope so

and yeah, that is flat out ironic...microsoft betrayal...xana...

[Overcaffeinated Sloth offline]

Well, microsoft messes up everyone..

But, did you know an old X-Box can actually be converted to run Linux? Pretty nice graphics for Tux Racer too...

[Liger_Zero offline]

It can even run windows too! No lie!

yep...if they get the problems sorted out, it would be awesome to use those features.

[Liger_Zero offline]

No, we're talking about the original X-box. They never had any problems.

[Rail Runner offline]

actually..they did..I have a friend that had to replace his twice due to issues..

[Liger_Zero offline]

O.O Oh, and there was that Power cord recall. A fire hazard, I think.

[Rail Runner offline]

yep...there was that...then they had one circuit that wasnt working properly...and then there were some new systems that wouldnt read the discs...brand new...haha.
