well what useless arseholes they are, had my xbox 360 roughly two years, and the other night picture went funny and the next day when i came to turn it on there it was one red light flashin away on my console, after there site kept crashing on me and after ringing them 3 times to be put through to a stupid machine that wasted 10 mins of my life each time and wasnt even able to understand what i was saying. after this finally getting trhough to a agent who couldnt even speak english every single time (no offence meant by that) just to tell me my console would need repairing but they couldnt do it cus there computers were down :banghead:
So today i finally got through after 10 mins on the phone i got put through to a supervisor, finally for him to then tell me it needs a repair and there would be a charge of 80 fookin quid :banghead: could get a new one for near that. anyway when telling him i would not be prepared to pay that i asked him what the red light means for him to then tell me he doesnt know and that my warranty only covers the three red lights :banghead:
i then got frustrated and he got abuse given but it deserves him right, when saying why should i pay to have a console repaired which microsoft couldnt even make properly as they have had no end of faults with the piece of crap, i just got the usual toff of we have strict policies in place, to then which i told him i aint paying that much for a shit console and i told him the fookin thing would go in the bin :banghead: and i hung up, useless arseholes, completely piss poor service
sorry for my rant and use of language, im quite peed off
thing is, is there anything i can do now :crying:

No product is perfect! So Leave em alone!
maybe try that.
other than that if you dont wanna send it back try doing the x-clamp replacement, might help if its cos of overheating or something...piece of piss to do, i had to do it on my modded one which got 3 rings and worked since (3 months) my other one which isnt modded got repaired under warranty...
i thought MS had extended the warranty to 3 years? what is the build date on your box?
takes the piss
Lols I have an xbox, rarely play it though
concidering an item should be fit for purpose for a reasonable amount of time it is a bit shoddy
So I tried to send it back, they wouldn't take it back. I called them whenever I got the time, or whenever I managed to get through to them, and I stil have that peice of shit downstairs collecting dust. Then surprise, they said they'd be able to come and collect it - then they realised "Your insurance has ran out."
If you can buy a new one for a bit more than the cost to repair it, just go and buy a new one - or save your cash and buy a computer. It beats that and the PS3.
