22 June 2007Microsoft Support Nightmare
I sat on the phone for 48 minutes last night all in the vague hope someone at Microsoft might answer the phone. As before, fat fucking chance.
So I made a decision, if Microsoft don’t want to fix it I’ll get it fixed myself and send them the bill. Right on!
Let’s see if I get anywhere with this. So far I’m £38.50 in the hole and it sounds like the company I’m using actually take the unit apart, get rid of the shit and dust out of it and fit a decent cooling that doesn’t let the motherboard warp like a suspension bridge in a gale. We’ll see how they do but to be honest they can’t be much worse than Microsoft.
I’ll keep you informed in my quest for Microsoft to pay my bill.

Just thought I would let you know, due to the rings of death thang, M$ have increased the warranty to 3 years.

Hey! Less of that M$ malarky, Microsoft are a business like any other and deserve the riches they have.
On the other hand, you could say the Xbox360 represents the pinnacle of a cynical marketing ploy. Get ‘em out quick, never mind the quality feel the width.
