It seems we completly agree on this.  We both know that that Mrstickball was correct in correcting Joe.  It is just that both of us thought it was done in a slightly rude way.

It's very simple why I took a hard-edge response to him:

If you want to rant and rave how "Microsoft screwed you over", when in fact, they hadn't in a Microsoft forum, I feel that any reply giving the truth, without namecalling, is appropriate.

I never said anything negative or bad to him, other than sugguesting that he actually research information about the subject before he posts.

If someone here was ranting and raving how that "Sony screwed me over with no backwards compatability" because he bought one without the Emotion Engine, I would expect a similar response. It's obvious he's wrong, and just didn't do his research.

Everyone attacking me NEVER has tried to answer him, or talk about his problem, only attack me. That really shows your maturity, doesn't it? We're trying to discuss the warranty here, which he's obviously wrong about. I pointed it out without namecalling, or ranting about his stupidity (which I could of done). However, instead of you agreeing with me, since I am an Xbox 360 peon trying to "defend Microsoft's honor" you don't feel the need to post something appropriate to add to the discussion, your just showing your own bias.

It's very simple: act stupid, get treated stupid. There's an "edit" button you can use as well as a "report to mod" button that lets you askf or threads to be locked, or reported due to flaming. All the ways he could of avoided getting treated like he's treating mis-information. He could edited his post, or locked it, or something of those nature(s) but didn't.

I just merely asked him to check his info before posting. How in the world is that rude?

Correct you?

Where did I try to correct you?

I pointed out that I thought your approach was rude, I never said you wern't right.

But, then you ask, do I even own an X360... what has this got to do with anything?

What if I said I did, would that change anything?

When you bought your Wii (assuming you have one) did you go onto nintendo.com just to make sure all the warranty details are correct?

I highly doubt that.

It could also be argued that before someone types an eight paragraph rant about how Microsoft is screwing "us", it might be a good idea for him or her to spend three minutes fact-checking beforehand to avoid looking like a douche. 

the point is that MS should update their paper warranty to avoid further confusion. Not everyone has the internet.

Rocketpig,
I think you're being a bit harsh in my view.

And personally, being from a third party prospective, I think you look more like a douche for your harsh judgment.

Here is to hoping you have never, nor will ever, ask a question void of the complete full facts. Because you'll end up looking like a....well you get the point.

 how many MS points ??? damn I want mine to have the RRoD, mine is running more than 7 hours a day non stop sometime I don't turn it of for several days and it never even crashed..... except one time during game... I was chatting at the same time DL demos and went ultra fast in the menu..... I just have a little pb with my DVD drive but i'm not covered for that anymore..... any clue how I can get the RRoD that would help me a lot lol.... do you think they would fix the DVD drive issue at the same time if I have the RRoD ??? 

^ I re read my post and it looks like a joke.... so I'm going to clarify.... My DVD drive is working weird.... meaning it works because I can read any CD, burn CD, DVD video, with the right format of files on it..... but when it comes to games I have the Fing white screen with the message in 20 language telling you to put the DVD in an XBox 360.... I think it's the stupidest error message I have ever seen... your XBox 360 telling you to put it in a 360.... well what ever.. so U have to open and close the tray several time until it works... not a big deal at the end it's still working perfect when it launch..... but sometime it takes up to 45 min for me to make it work.... I tryied to clean the DVD drive with a special cleaning CD and it didn't change a lot.... i'm out of the 1 year warranty.... So that's why I'd like the RRoD to send it back and have everything fixed before the launch of the christmas games and the last feature updates they have done on the hardware for the RRoD issue

How old is your X360?

In my case, I was completely out of warranty, even for RROD (this was just after, the 1yr warranty, but way before the recent 3yr). Mine was about 4+mo out of warranty. I shoulda paid, but didn't.

I think MS throws in the free stuff w/o reason. I wouldn't worry about RROD issues, just call 'em up. They might have a simple fix, or might just send you a fixed refurb + throw in the MSPs and XBL card.

The points they give you vary, I believe. I got like 200. But I've heard of people getting thousands.

Man, I wish I would've asked for points when I got mine repaired, it really wasn't much of an inconvenience though, I sent it off right before leaving to get married (in a different part of the country) and when I got back 3 weeks later my neighbor had the returned box. If it happens again though, I'll be sure to pretend to be upset about paying for live while it's being repaired.

To the OP, hope you enjoy your Elite, I saw my first one in stores this past week, they look pretty nice, but not enough for me to trade in my Premium. Anyways, hope you never have to use the warranty.
