What do you expect?
You might get a discount on your broadband if you ask, but there is no way MS is going to stick that persons country into the mix unless they get loads of hits.
On the customer service side it appears they were expecting questions about gaps in their service area and can't do jack about it. So they just give a 'Smile and Wave' answer.



Good to see this site is still going

If that map is true, then it's an EPIC shafting. This is MS targeting overload to try and avoid overspending in other areas whilst trying to keep some kind of system integrity. Might as well sell the console with a chastity belt while they are at it!

This map pretty much shows that the Xbox One is going to be selling to a much smaller audience.  Even the countries in the green have many areas with poor or no internet.

What was the answer they should have given?

If you're not in a supported region then you can't use the product, what's the big issue. Either wait till it is available or buy a competitors product. Its quite clear a company representative cannot say it should be fine to import and use in the wrong region. This is not arrogance its common sense, which seems lacking in this thread.


Are you sick of defending and spinning ms poor mistakes yet? It is arrogance. It shows ms is expecting high sales by screwing alot of people over


Telling the truth isn't a mistake, unless you happen to be Sony.


Would you care to elaborate?



I think that's fair. Unsupported countries won't get access to TV features and maybe people in those countries won't be able to sell used games since Microsoft won't have retailers in every region so until that is available, they won't sell in those regions. I guess they are trying really hard to make that $499 price attractive in every region.

They could have at least called him a Sony fanboy or a stealth troll at the end. Now it looks like they don't care at all...

Customer support is hamstrung to NEVER, EVER, EVER give a negative response to anything said, outside of it blowing up on the Internet, and making the company look worse.  So, you get nothing about calling someone a troll or fanboy or smacking them.  Idea is to have some sort of bland positivity that blurs the complaint to where everyone loses track of what the complaint is about.

Yeah well, that was supposed to be a joke :P seems I failed at it...

I didn't take it as a joke, because my experience with Microsoft Customer Service is that they don't really seem to care, so my focus was on agreeing with that, rather than realizing that you were joking about smacking down the person.

That's not very good to hear, nevertheless that was intended to be a joke, did not realise it had some truth within it

And that is why it is not very good to hear.  Microsoft doesn't get the concept of there being user groups and communities.  It sees everyone as individuals with friend lists.
