Official 360 Problems

Re: Official 360 Problems

Stuff like that bothers me, even if I do not know what they are actually saying if they gave a reason, I am the type of person that has to know.

So you'd say you're OCD?

Re: Official 360 Problems

nemesis, the main thing I keep reading/hearing are overheating issues. The fans inside the console are too small or there not enough fans to dissipate the heat from building up. There is a lot going on inside the console and a lot of heat is generated. The console shuts off automatically when the system is overcome with too much heat. I'm sure their are many other problems though, but that seems to the the big one.

Re: Official 360 Problems

Re: Official 360 Problems

Ha, at least you got a taste of the 360... It'll be there soon enough. I have to hope I'm there in enough time on Sat. and have the money and hope there aren't a lot of cores sent to Walmart.

Ugh. What a fun New Year's Eve/Day.

Eh, I'm just really frustrated GIGGAS. I just want some anwsers as to what the **** is going on with my console. I've got this sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach that it's sitting on some shelving unit collecting dust and they don't even know it's there. I'm sick and tired of calling them and being put on hold for 10, 15, 20 minutes at a clip. I'm sick and tired of talking to clueless reps who have the intelligence of a doorknob. I'm sick and tired of waiting and wondering. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. As I've stated before, this is the very last time I buy a console at launch. There is no way in hell I'm going through this again. It's not healthy physically or mentally to be so angry like I am right now. MS has the audacity to ship out so many defective consoles and then treat you like a piss ant when you need service. I'm sick of it!

Hey. Try hearing "Uh, we got a lot of preorders, and you're pretty down on the list... uh, you might have it by Christmas..." 2 days pass... "Uh, New Years?" 2 more... "Late January?"

I hear ya man. It's equally bad on both ends of the spectrum. Same old song and dance. MS has completely butchered this launch. An army of chimpanzees couldn't have done any worse.

Re: Official 360 Problems

It will feel so sweet when I walk into EB and demand my money back. **** being nice, I'm going to be so ****ing angry, and perhaps even pound things. That should get my anger out.

I'll tell ya what. You outta go in there with a stereo boombox blaring the AC/DC song "Thunderstruck". Then, every time Bon Scott yells the lyrics "You been... THUNDERSTRUCK!" Give the clerk a big old knuckle sandwich.

Re: Official 360 Problems

Well, just got off the phone with "them". Apparently the technicians are so swamped with defective consoles they are having a hard time making due on their 7-10 repair promise. Why doesn't that surprise me? The lovely rep still couldn't give me any info on my console, that by all accounts has been sucked into a blackhole. So what else is new? They tell me they keep emailing the technicians but get no response. Great way to keep the communication lines open. Monday is judgement day, it'll have been at the repair center for two friggin weeks! Victor has had enough, I'm about to go Micheal Douglas on them in "Falling Down".

I would tell them you want a new system ASAP, or you will report them, it doesn't seem fair to you at all, never mind fixing the bad ones, just send you a completely new one and call it a day, I would fighting on the phone for real if i were you.
