My 360 Is P**sing Me Off


Ever since I got it I've had nothing but problems bought it in January 07 within 1 month I had to send it in for a DVD-ROM fix stupid grinding noise. Only for it to come back 13 days later (the past was great) to have a letter stating it was a motherboard problem ????

DVD-ROM = Motherboard Fix

okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk moving on....

Anyways I assumed they fixed that and my DVD-ROM says me due to see-throu plastic sticky tape like you get when you first open the box. WRONG within 3 months grinding noise again when going to dashboard or when it was loading certain games.

Last few weeks failing to load any game properly Tiger Woods 07 would always crash 2-3 times a day when loading up a course. And now my wireless controller won't sync with my console considering I shouldn't need to. I put it my bag to take to friends house I didn't sync it to his Elite console cos he had 2 pads took it home went to play on my console won't sync.

I shouldn't need to sync it cause I haven't attched it to any other console but as of right now it will not sync. I bought the console from PC World and they won't swap it have to send it to MS Repair looks like a 25 day wait again for me to get the whole thing dam thing fixed. I hate having to ring up they never understand you and you can't understand them you tell them what should/needs fixing and it seems it don't get fixed.

I dam well know they'll send me a already fixed console thats for sure.

That's how my DVD drive died, but mine never grided. My "fixed" unit conked out witin a few months as well. I got it back and then went and traded it in on a PSP and bought a new 360 with the extra cooling and HDMI....... this is bull****.

I called them today there sending me a new wireless controller which should arrive in 2 weeks or before. I also asked if the waiting time for console repairs has come down it's now 20 days but cud take upto 25 days if pick-up/delivery is slow. It used to be 25 days and upto 30 days if anything was slow so it's getting somewhere.

I told them about the DVD-ROM problem it's currently stopped but they said if it's get worse just ring up for a repair. I aint doing that I'm gonna wait for my pad take it in for a trade at my local game shop and add it to another newer console later on maybe an Elite depends.

HA HA I aint gonna get mad just laugh it off my DVD-ROM finally went 15mins ago ha ha was just loading up a race on Forza 2 and bam grinding noise. Disc slowed down it was loading something then "DISC CANNOT BE READ" error so cleaned it along with the drive but no won't read.

I aint even bothering to try Halo 3 or any other games I rang them up for a repair order he was from Aussy-trial-ier and was proper cool. Sorted it out in mins and label's shud arrive with 48hrs to my e-mail I told him I wasn't in a very good mood and considering about swapping in for a PS3.

He's stuck it on a return time of 15 days emergency repair/deliver apprently yeah we'll see out the door 19th see it in a months time.

Still tradin the dam thing in when it comes back should of the cash towards a newer version.
