Comment They lost me (Score 1) 158
I was an extremely vocal evangelist for xbox -- I convinced 3 other people to buy one as well. Silly me: two of those recommended boxes failed; the other one is never used.
As for me, I remained a (less-vocal) fan after my second box failed. Now that I'm waiting for the return of the third, I've given up. It'll stay under my TV, and why not? I paid for it, so there you go. And I'll probably buy Halo 3. Bioshock looks good. But it won't be the centerpiece of my entertainment center like I planned it to be. Those bastards owned *my* living room, and now I'm taking it back. "Failure rates normal." "Vast majority are enjoying their boxes." They've been taking a shit on my head, and for a year and a half I've been saying thanks for the hat. Well, no more.
Oh, and BTW, to everybody that says "repair turnaround in a week, what's the big deal?" I say, that was a long time ago, before everybody's died. Mine's been gone a month, and support will now tell you to expect a SIX WORKING WEEK TURNAROUND.
Hey, everybody, don't listen to me, though. They've fixed the problem. They've owned up to it. Feel confident "Jumping in."
Thanks for the hat, you a**wipes.
