You are better off importing either a Nintendo Wii, XBox 360or PS3 directly from the USA. Screw the South American games industry buy imported  consoles. Paying such over inflated prices for consoles and video games is a crime against the Argentinan consumers.

MS has known about their reliablility for years. They don't care about any of their users, South American or not.

 

Buy a good console next time, you probably knew of the RROD issue before getting it. Next time make a safer bet.


Would you like to be banned for trolling, gazz? You provided no help to the owner, and are certainly trying to cause trouble. Consider this your one and only warning.

As for MS in Argentina - are there any "official" Microsoft Xbox 360 stores in Argentina? I would try to call one and see what they say. I have no idea how/where MS works at in that country, so it might be tough to find some answers from them, but I'd definately try from an official source.

If not, try the official Xbox forums. You have enough mastery of the english language to where they might be able to point you in the right direction.

He provided a fact, how is that trolling? I swear, the mods on this site have gotten out of hand.

From wiki: An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.[2]

And he got warned by two mods to boot.

The OP asked for help - how is sarcasm helping him get his 360 fixed? It's not about the PS3 or 360, it's about *trying* to help a person in need, not point a finger and laugh, which is what Gazz did. Just read his first response very slowly. If you eliminate his post, this thread wouldn't have been derailed. 

Instead of dropping the subject, he creates a thread just to highlight this. Homie is the pure definition of a troll, plain and simple.

Ban that fool, I say.

Is that why they replace consoles with RRoD for free?


honestly it might be for free, which should be free anyways, but considering they don't always replace the console with a new one, or use various parts from other broken consoles (Opus chipset). its not much of a service.


 It doesn't matter how they fix the console as long as they fix it, for free.

It matters how they fix it if the way they fix it leaves it much more likely to fail again.
