Xbox360 collected for repair !
Mark this date on your calendars my "modded" 360 has been collected by M$ for a free repair !!
Red rings I hear you ask ? No freezing.. but I told them its intermittent red ring and they said ok Launch day machine so I've done well !! |
"modded" you say?
AFAIK, they'll take no notice of it anyway, RROD usually just means they put it one side and grab a refurb off the shelf to send back... |
The last couple I've had "fixed" have been just that (i.e. fixed). The same unit was returned (same serial, same scratch from when they repaired it the time before etc)...

I'm fine with that ... they don't normally care if its modded .. offically they do but the Monkeys in the office just swap it out ..
Fingers crossed.. UPS just picked it up |

I thought i was doing quite well with my launch 360 but this time last year it died, sent it back and got it back. Died again the other week. I just threw it in the bin and bought an Elite. Its quite shocking when you think about it, i'm paying for microsoft's shoddy workmanship :D But the real nail in the coffin was that the Elite only comes with a years warranty. Microsoft want you to buy the further 2 years warranty, cheeky fcukers :mad:

Just got mine back, sixty quid later, MB and DVD replaced, plus the front as well as the spring on the usb cover had gone, not tired it yet as I bought an arcade in the meantime.

Did they pre-warn you about the charge ? |

£60 for what ?
Did they pre-warn you about the charge ? Oh well, live and learn, now have two 360's, not really worth flogging seeing as it owes me £60 and the kids have nicked the controller from the new one, and the memory card, whats a box on its own worth £80/£100 ? |

Unless you get it from Gameplay. My mums Elite dies after only 2 months. They would only take it back / exchange it if Microsoft refused to fix it :(
Needless to say, I'm never getting anything from there again. Shockingly bad customer service... |

That's what I thought, but they were having none of it. Got to the point where I would have to take them to court to get them to do anything, and to be honest it wasn't worth it. Considering I used to get all my stuff from them, they've lost a fairly good customer...
