In Search of the Unfriendliest Technical Support

[MARCUSDJACKSON]

the sony one was the funniest.

here's one for ya. pure fiction joke only.

for the first 5 yrs the 360 was on the market Mike called MS customer service because his system caught RROD but the line was busy.

so everytime his 360 caught RROD he would google an online search for answers and it would always lead him to youtube.

so for 5 yrs youtube was technical support.

heading into the 360's 6th yr out MS released a slim model, but Mike didn't want to upgrade, but he would soon have no choice as his console would flash red and orange for some reason, so he called MS technical support and after 6 yrs he finally got through.

heres the conversation:

MS: hello my name is Lind and thank you for calling MS customer support. how may i help you?

Mike: yea my system just flashed a red and orange light. wht should i do?

MS: buy a new one cause the CPU is fried.

Mike: wht?

MS: yes the processor fried that means the system will no longer run.

Mike: but wait can't i send it in for repair?

MS: no cause we no longer make the components for the early model 360's. is there anything else i can help you with?

Mike: you know i've been calling for 5 yrs, and all i got was a busy signal. wht the hell was going on up there?

MS: well we did have problems with 360 so we received a lot of calls concerning the situation so our lines may have been a little busy.

Mike: alittle busy! for 5 yrs? man thats BS. so your telling me that if i want to play 360 i'd have to buy a new one?

MS: yes sr. we just released a new slim model version of......

Mike yea i know. i watch'd E3.

MS: did you enjoy the show?

Mike: no not really!

MS: ok Sr. is there anything else i can help you with?

Mike: yes! be sure to have more Phone lines open next time.

MS: ok i'll make the recommendation to my boss, but i doubt we'll have this problem again.

Mike: yea right.

MS ok then have nice day.
