Forums - Microsoft - My friend threw away his Xbox 360 (seriously)

He got the RROD and threw his 360 in the dumpster.  Can you believe it.  To my knowlege Microsoft is still fixing that problem for free, aren't they? 

Anyway, he went out and bought a PS3.  I quess you can see that he is moving on.  Oh well.  At least he will be able to buy Fat Princess (best PS3 game ever!).  And maybe I'll get a chance to play it.

when mine ringed for the first time i just sent it in for repairs. the second time i got it repaired too. the third time i got my money back and got a PS3. that was just over a year ago now
Out of interest, how old was his 360?
Also when Jasper comes out I'll try my luck again - most of the annoying things will be fixed then, even more than they are now.

I applaud your friend! He has finally seen the light...



I always look for a woman who has a tattoo. I see a woman with a tattoo, and I’m thinking, okay, here’s a gal who’s capable of making a decision she’ll regret in the future.

It was about a year old.

I'm glad you were able to get your money back and get a PS3, but that to me is what is crazy about what my friend did.  He just threw it away.

 



seems rash

hell, I sold my original broken one (pre-3year-warranty) for $200 back in November 2006



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

He probably could have at least sold it to someone who wants a cheap 360 and doesn't mind sending it in for repairs. Throwing it in the dumpster is just a horrible waste.
