I'm glad you raised a bit of hell - actually you know what? I might know the manager of that store. Which location was it?<BR/><BR/>What's funny is that the 360 has such a bad reputation for failing (I heard something like 1 in 3 will die - but that could just be hyperbole) that many places in the U.S. are refusing to sell store warranties for them.<BR/><BR/>What's your gamertag? I should add you.Megashaunhttp://shaunhatton.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6938536957121372266.post-85958403140779750182007-11-13T14:31:00.000-05:002007-11-13T14:31:00.000-05:00Hey Cuz,<BR/><BR/>I am so glad that my Xbox hasn't experience the red ring of death yet. The worst that I have had to deal with is some damage to my Elder Scrolls CD which causes it to stop reading every once and while. Usually this is at a frequency of once for every couple of hours that I play which actually isn't bad as it is a built in signal to me that it is time to stop. <BR/><BR/>I have to agree that since Madalyn was born, I am lucky to get 1-2 hours of gaming in a week which is why I let my Live subscription expire. It seemed silly to be paying for it when most of the time I don't play for very long and since I have become addicted to Elder Scrolls, I don't play online anyway.<BR/><BR/>Still, glad to hear that you stood up to the Jerk behind the counter and got a new machine.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>ChrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6938536957121372266.post-49247689882575188182007-11-13T14:10:00.000-05:002007-11-13T14:10:00.000-05:00fun. <BR/><BR/>seriously tho.. I wouldnt have bought an EB games warranty. When my 360 died it was only a couple weeks to get my new box. Now that new xbox has survived not one but two floods and is still going strong. Microsoft has really stepped up their warranty to an unprecidented full 3 years.<BR/><BR/>Two weeks isnt a long time to wait. really.Awetopsyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14712374764758274212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6938536957121372266.post-32974201670903177022007-11-13T11:09:00.000-05:002007-11-13T11:09:00.000-05:00I won my 360 at launch as part of the Mountain Dew Every 10 Minutes contest and haven't had any trouble with it. I would give the store a lot of grief because you paid for a warranty, you were given a replacement that was damaged and the clerk took rude to a whole other level. And to Microsoft's credit they did come around and make it right (after a lot negative feedback from customers). Sony has it's own issues with four or five versions of the PS3 with varying drive sizes and backwards compatibility. In my eyes Nintendo is the only one to get it right and deliver on what was promised.supergg2khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00065301669961564587noreply@blogger.com
