In all fairness bodhi, MS aren't going to send new consoles out willy nilly the moment someone says that theirs is broken. Bad company policy.

Hence the need to send it in for them to check it.

Sony send out refurbs next day, so it can't be all bad. Mind they took a bit more care on the engineering side, so they have less to fix.

say you shipped it off today (wednesday) you should recieve a spangly new console by the end of next week

they dont even bother checking what wrong anymore do they? remember something about that they just thrashed the old one and sent a new one as that was supposedly cheaper.

when it's the 3 red rings i don't think they can fix it or know what to fix.. that's why you are still covered to get it repaired for free even after 3-4 years

That sounds a bit useless! Where did you hear this?

Sure it's been said before but when you get your Xbox back you get a sheet stating what was wrong, surely that means they knew what to fix when my and others Xbox's had broke?

My xbox was delivered back to me today! Not a bad turn-around time if I'm honest, and according to the sheet that was attached to it, the problem was with the motherboard.

I've hooked it up now, and its working fine. Glad it was all sorted!

1 month free gold membership card, which I hear is bog-standard.

Wasn't expecting anything else tbh!

MS = Amateurs.

Wow, pretty impressive that amateurs have demolished professional Sony then isnt it?

It says a lot that a broken console can outsell a great console

Amateurs always look at short term gain vs long term investment. Yet for all this short term game the amateurs are still losing money hand over fist.

So yeah, MS = Amateurs.
