Microsoft = douche bags
on: November 29, 2009, 05:54:35 pm
Today i come home from a good thanksgiving weekend. Turn on my 360.

and alas

the dreaded Red Ring of Death (x3). My 360 works just dam fine. I treat it like i treat a baby. I take dam good care of it. And its nearing 3 years, the warranty could expire any second.. and i cant find out when.

And this happends, how convenient..

i think microsoft programs it to **** up so people have to pay the 99-150 dollars to get it fixed. I searched many sites. % of the red ring of death problem ranges from 20-33%. A third!

I dont have the money to repair or get new 360.

Called tech support....they say im still covered for the free repair for now... but it could expire any second before it gets fixed.

Its december. Final exams in 2 weeks. School ends within a month.
The repair process takes a month or more with mail travel times. My winter break will be over before i get it back. This ruins everything, this is bull****!

Cant play games any more. What will i do for fun?

There are things on a computer called "games." They are useful for wasting time.

Yep have gone throw 2 of them. the 3rd one still works because i don't use it much LOL.  i tend to get PS3 games if there multiplatform the PS3 so far is a more reliable then the crap 360 .  the only game i play on it at the moment is Mass Effect.  Just hope if it desides to die it dies after i beat Mass Effect 2 thats do out i think sometime early next year.    you figered after 5 years they would have work out the defects on there crap 360 stupid Microsoft.   they need to stick with software not hardware. there a lot better at the software deal.

When the destroyers came for us, we attacked. Never had we been defeated. They were like the others: strange, hideous, resisting, fighting. Only these were not like the others: They did not die. We made our first retreat. We could forego one system. We left it to the destroyers and went elsewhere. But they followed. They hunted us. They followed us when we retreated, discovered where we lived.
For a long time we did not know why they chased us. They were no ordinary enemy. They did not seek our territory, our technology, our resources.
Now we know our crime was sin.

You could try this other game "Masturbation" if you've heard of it. It's pretty new, but it doesn't require any kind of console. Of course, there's various add-ons if the vanilla game is too easy, so it's hours of fun.

Don't play that game.  Invariably you will end up trying to couple a Dutch Double Cross with a French Twist and end up with a severe injury.  It happened to me.

I heard, funny story, that people did stuff for fun before the 360...
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.

3 rings gets you a free repair and a one month free live membership "for the inconvenience" before its warranty goes bye-bye.

Without warranty, just get a cheep one used or a bare bones one to replace.

(If you've had it for three years, this doesn't really surprise me.)

If you experience an erection lasting longer than four hours, call your friends and brag about it.

5. More books
6. Movies
7. Play musical instrument

My standard responses to being bored. Just strike out "Console games" in your case.

My original 360 RRoD after almost 3 years, but on their website i entered my console number and it told me exactly when the extended warranty expired. Luckily i got it fixed, but unfortunately took like 3 weeks to get it back. I suppose you could always buy a 360 from best buy and return it within the 14 days or whatever for a full refund while your other one is out.. just use your old HD.

Or call a girl (or guy, whatever floats your boat) and do something about it.  I wonder about you people and your sense of priorities sometimes... =)
