Fuck XBOX and M$

let me just say... FUCK M$ and XBOX
Current mood: pissed off
So here is the background...

In may I was playing Halo 3 online and my 360 froze. I reset the console and it worked for a few minutes and then it froze again. This time I get the dreaded 3 red lights. For those of you who don't know this means my shit is fucked. I am pissed. The Beta for Halo 3 just started and was only going to last for a couple more weeks. I call up M$ customer support and spoke to some Indian fellow who I could not understand even if my life depended on it. What I did understand was that my shit was fucked and they were going to take care of it. The man proceeds with the questioning and finally says yo shit is fucked up and we gonna fix it... not really. But he did say that it would take 3-5 business days to get the box and 8-10 business days from the day I ship it for them to get it back to me. This was cool because I would still get to play a few matches of Halo 3 before it ended...

1 1/2 months later...

I am furious. I found another website where the people who run it review games for a living. A man on there wrote an article about how he experienced the same exact issues as me... not only him but several others also experienced the same thing. Shortly after I posted a comment on there a report was released that 33% of the current xbox 360 owners have experienced hardware failures. I find this hard to believe because out of all my friends I would say that 75% of them experienced this same issue.

3 weeks later...

I come home from my trip to Florida to find my 360 waiting for me. I am so happy to have it back.

3 months after first issue...

I am posting on www.weplayxbox.com AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My 360 died again after a month. here is what I had to say "Here we go again… I had written a comment on here a couple of months ago about how I received the 3 red lights. It took 2months to get it back even though they promised it would only take 8-10 buisness days from the day i shipped it out. I missed all of the halo 3 beta. I was excited about finishing some games i had purchased since getting it back the end of July. Now we are just days from the launch of Halo 3 which I have reserved my limited edition copy. Looks like I won't be playing at launch. 10 Minutes into playing Spiderman 3 which sucks almost as much as the movie did and it DIES. No 3 red lights this time… now its a dead dvd-rom. It spit the disc out and gave me the screen with "please insert a 360 playable disc". Now I am really pissed. They promised me my original 360 would be the one I get back when in reality they sent me an older 360 from launch. My 360 was pristine and this one has sticky shit all over the front of it. Looks like I will be getting another refurb. Why can't they send me a superior new model with a better dvd-rom and heat sinks that won't allow it to die during my funtime. My whole summer is gone… months of paid xbox live subscription out the window. I wish I had a wii or ps3. At this point I only want the 360 for Halo 3 and GOW."

I know I sound like a nerd but I do like to get out and Run, Kayak, Fish, Bike, anything really. I have always played video games. I have always been a computer nerd. The good thing is I know how to balance my time and make sure my Girlfriend gets plenty of attention.
