| Legend11 said: Sounds like a breakdown in communications between departments at wherever the console was refurbished. There is likely someone (or some people) who's job is to simply clean all the consoles since most consoles get returned to different users. It's a shame that happened to his console and hopefully Microsoft does something to try to make up for it. |
Correct!
What probably happened... was that the person at the tech center got the system, then asked their superior if they should still clean it. Their superior foolishly said they should, just be careful. They proceeded to clean it and ended up smearing the marker, ruining the artwork and making it look really awful. They then decided that the best course of action was to clean it off as best as possible, figuring that whatever these signatures were, they could likely be replaced.
Although, I agree that all this culture over the Halo franchise is ridiculous. I'm personally sick of freaking Halo tournaments, "professional" Halo players, etc. It's not like it's that revolutionary of a game. Maybe kid needed this blow to get a kick back to reality.
