I'm making this thread just to express my frustration with Microsoft. This is my opinion, and it may be biased, but since I literally own every console, I feel it's legitimate.

Console is broken (8x), I bought a separate extended warrenty from Best Buy, can't they just replace my broken console instead of you?

It looks like Microsoft has learned from the 360's hardware issues since they're going out of their way to ensure the Xbox One has a very large amount of cooling (size of console, power brick, employee comments, etc).


Won't repair MS brand parts. I bought a 360 gaming wheel for Forza 2 and PGR3 back when the 360 released. I enjoyed it for 2 years, but in 2009 they discontinued it because of a push towards Kinect. That's fine, but the problem was my dog chewed the power cable, the wheel doesn't recognize 3rd party power supplies (even if you match the voltage and amps), MS pulled all new wheels off the shelf, and they don't stock resupply parts.

A lot of companies don't supply parts for discontinued products and I think it's unreasonable to blame them for something your dog did to be honest.


XBLG can't redeem code. Lots of problems, I've had to change my account just to register a short term XBLG code, and couldn't play Windows games on my windows phone for months because of it. I've had a lot of problems here, I just don't want to start.

I'm guessing this is because you forgot a password for the email you used to register your original account (or something like that).  If that's the case you shouldn't be blaming them for something that is your fault.


Windows Phone I can't use my paypal account, which is on my XBL account, and I've been on the phone for a solid hour and a half now now. All for Crimson Dragon for $0.99.....

Your complaint should be with PayPal since it's their app that is causing the issue.  It should also be a reason why you would want a Xbox One as the certification process for apps on Xbox consoles is notoriously stringent.

 

That's my rant.....while you're here, what next gen consoles are you buying? For me:

So in summary any issues you had with Xbox 360 look extremely likely to be solved with Xbox One (except for your dog chewing on electronics which is on you).


PSV - Down the road, I bought a PSP just last year, still have 20 games for it. Plus I softmodded it to play GBA/PS1 games, so I'm playing all the GBA/PS1 games which I own (I'm doing this legit), and well I have a lot of PS1 games. So I'm in no rush for a PSV, but I will get one, one day.

I'm returning a PSV that I bought a week ago because of dark streaks on the screen whenever the screen is completely black.  In fact issues with Vita OLED screens appears to be common based on Internet postings I've read so I'm not going to bother getting a replacement.  That's not going to stop me from buying other Sony products in the future though as I judge each product on its own merits (I've owned a PSP for years and love it for example).
