Microsoft! Shannanagins!

Grr, once again my new Xbox 360 has taken my love for it, and fornicated forcefully in the back.

Anyway, first, my Xbox 360 stabbed me:

I made that post after that horrific incident, from which I am still limping.

 

Yesterday, it went one step too far!

 

I had been noticing that occasionally my 360 remove would give me the old: "Please reconnect your controller" achievement in the midst of gaming but never really thought much of it.

Well, during GoW(...meh) the controller did it 5 or 6 times in a row and then refused to reconnect, green lights still aflashing on it.

I added new batteries. Lights still on, won't connect. I added new batteries again, fresh from the store. The lights were blinking green, resync,won't connect.

I resynched about 10 times, still won't connect. Have no backup controller.

Time to call Microsoft. Hour of babble before my problem is addressed:

You have a wireless router, and wireless phone?

Yes and yes.

Unplug them.

Done.

Reconnected! ....(Please Reconnect Controller happens again)

NOOOOOOOOOOO!

Calm down sir!

I'll eat your baby after I cook it!

Call back.

Any metal in front of your 360?

Just a fan to keep it from RRoDing.

Remove it.

Done.

(Please reconnect controller after 10 seconds)

Sir, your crap broked, send it in. Must be your remote.

 

Well, I borrowed neighbors remote, does same thing.

 

I just went to Ebay and paid 22 dollars for a new Xbox 360 WIRED remote.

 

Xbox called me via WiFi:

Yeah holmes, that's what you get for getting blood on my shank. Next time it'll cost you your life.

 

 

I blame Wii-Fit.
