Im Very Angry at xbox !!!!

TorresDaLegend

Right,
Bought xbox in Christmas 2006.
Month later, the console was scratching the disks so brought it back to shop purchased in and got replacement.

In May of this year, the dreaded Ring Of Fire error occured and i rang customer support, blah blah, took 4 phone calls to get them to post out shipping labels. They tried emailing them, but email never came. Then rang - Email came but link to labels was faulty. Rang again - Meant to be posted out, never arrived. Rang again - Fedex delivered within a day :rolleyes:

Everything went grand from there, packaged it up , sent it back, and got it back within 2 weeks. Noticed it was a "new" console, but manufactured date was 2007

Anyway, turn it on, playing for about half an hour and Bam , 'system error, contact customer support, F64 (could be E64)'

I just rang them and she said i can bring it back to shop, or send it to them. Just dawned on me, how can i bring it back to shop seen as they sent me a complete "new" one, with different serial number ????

Please help, im at wits end here

Excellent advice right there.:rolleyes:

Get onto them again or check the site, should just be a matter of telling them you want to send it back and they'll pick it up like last time.
Also I'd be surprised if they sent you a new console last time, more than likely a repaired one.

And then not only will the OP have to deal with the RROD(which at least micro$oft will cover by warranty for 3yrs after purchase)but he will have to deal with the sh1te Blu ray that goes after 3 months of playing discs which Sony do NOT cover.
PS3 is a bigger piece if sh1t

Yeah, never had a problem with my PS3 at all. Whereas I've had 2 different 360s since the PS3 came out, and 1 before that

TorresDaLegend

Yeah im pretty sure it was a repaired one too.. Using the word "repaired" lightly there..

I told her the date i bought it etc and she said there was a 2year plus warranty

Penn

I think if its the RROD it should be a 3 year warranty, although it might be different with the different error

Some people are just so unlucky.. If you have the money just buy a total new arcade! I reckon the the "new" one they gave you was refurbished or something!

anymore ps3 vs xbox posts will get a weeks ban.

This will be the thread's only warning.

Nope , theres only 2 real hardware errors and thats the ring of death and F64 AFAIK

Theres only a 3year warranty on the RoD , and i think a 1 year on the F64, so if thats true, then why the **** should i have to pay to get my xbox repaired, when the one they sent me wasnt actually repaired !!?? , sh1t thats confusing :rolleyes:

tbh

I got the RoD about two years ago and shipped it off to get fixed. The day I got it back, my best mates one died. He got it refurbed and it died again at the weekend. You don't understand lads, we're both married and we had a whole saturday of Cod5 booked. That happens rarely. He's going to buy a new one, but if mine borks again, I don't think I will. As much as I love my xbox - and I mean I really fcukin love my xbox - less than five years isn't an acceptable life expectancy for anything that costs over e150 and cannot be physically consumed. It's not on.
