supra_aero Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I went through 2 or 3 normal xboxs and 1 360. My brother went through 3 xbox 360s so far. I don't get how they all keep breaking and I look after my toys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I don't know how MS can get away with this. In the days before the X-Box, you could through your Nintendo / Sega products out of the window, have a car run over them, wee in the cartridge slot and still be on for a 24 gaming fest. Still true with todays Nintendo products. Never had a problem with any of my consoles going on the blink, including my PS3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Do they throw in the rape for free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Do they throw in the rape for free while your console is being repaired? I think so, mandatory i believe. My mate was unforunte with his that they sent Bubba round for his rapage. Was never the same again when old Bubs was seen exiting my mates place winding his 15" black sledge hammer back up...

supra_aero Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 The worse thing of all is MS wipe your hard disc clean. All those hours of saved games ...wiped. I hope you already knew that Jim. And if you didn't know,..now you know. I can see by your eyes in your avtar you didn't know. Ah well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be possible that Bubba has double booked then and your visit may be delayed Still, from what i've heard, if you have an X-Box 360, you will recieve a visit at some point.

O if you took out the hard drive you might be ok then. Just be prepared incase. They say they won't wipe your saved games but they do. They are like traffic wardens who say 'its ok, go and get change!', then you go around the corner... WHACK - ticketed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt H Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Im half way through Terminator Salvation, and its not out yet over here. Iv had it for past 3 days. I always believed that if something is good and worth a lot of time playing, then it's worth paying the people who created it their dues in cash. It's not microsoft, it's the developers you're shafting if you download everything, especially when it's an amazing game that has earned a 10/10 or something...
