Forums - Microsoft - My first experience with Xbox360

Quick point reference

-My first Xbox 360 (60gb) broke the first day i used it on Gears of War 2

-If Xbox360 fans really did care for there console they would make sure they made quality and should complain to microsoft.

-High failurate 54% and 42% that it will happen more than once.

-Microsoft can't make good hardware (just look at there keyboards and mouse)

-Xbox360 has great games but its on a shitty console

-We keep being microsofts beach and sending are console in to be repaired or buy a new one after it fails.

-Microsoft is making money off of a defective product so they will keep selling it

-They always claimed they fixed RROD but never have yet

-When you send your broken console in your get the same console that has the same problem

-You have to care for your console and worry about it overheating like a baby

-You can't hardcore game without experiencing problems with freezing & overheating

-Paying for online even when your not online which is retarded.

-Only 3.8% of xbox owners will actually not buy another xbox360 after having problems with it.

 

First of all when you buy a gaming console you should atleast look at other products they make before hand i bought a microsoft keyboard multimedia keyboard 1.1 and it fails asmuch as the xbox does, The microsoft keyboard didn't work on my Xbox 360 but it did manage to work on a ps3 somehow without any mods. I can't play FPS with it on my PC because for some reason it won't hold down keys when im holding it down i have to repress every once in a while. Yet i still went to futureshop and picked up a Xbox 360 (60gb) and the very first day it RROD of death on me(When playing Gears of War) so i ended up returning it and the second one lasted just a month & a half out of my store return with futureshop. So i had to send it to microsoft which cost me. When i did play it i realized that online that you need to pay for when you don't use it, it will still expire? WTF? How stupid is that for the consumer paying for online while they are repairing it which took nearly 2 months for me. I wasted over thousand dollars on xbox 360 and it was the stupidist thing i ever could do. Also alot of people say, You shouldn't of been playing it so much. What console do you really have to worry about playing it too much because of overheating? The Xbox360 thats what and if you don't you will end up spending $200 on repairing it because there console wasn't made correctly and there still selling defective parts and sucking us the consumer into buying it again. I couldn't beleive when i saw 54% failure rate for the xbox 360 and 42% having it happen more than once. Yet only 3.8% of people will not buy a xbox again which is the smart people. I have been unfortunate with Xbox360 having over 6 times having to send my Xbox 360 in this year so far and i won't be buying another one ever. I would rather play my xbox(original) for all my gaming needs then a console i have to care for and worry about breaking all the time. It's sad when you tell someone how much trouble you had and you get so many people with the same troubles. You know what after looking back at the Xbox i can say i will never go back just because microsoft gets off on screwing the people just like they always have. If it wasn't microsoft that made a gaming console and someone else in america i would be all over it but microsoft has always and always will screw you.

You shouldn't consider yourself smart if your buying a console that breaks more than half the time. I'm not saying that the games suck alot of there games are awesome (Gears,Fable,halo). What makes us so dumb that we keep going back to microsoft trying to get are gaming fix? Why do i keep sending my console in to get the same console with the same problems as the last one? They arn't fixing the console you send in they are just replacing it with the same console that breaks down.

 Anyone who gets angry at my rant should know that i'm not dising the games of Xbox i attacking the hardware so microsoft understands that you can't win a console war with a defective product that they don't fix and just temporarly fix the problem. Microsoft said so many times that they fixed RROD but it would be amazing if they actually did which won't happen if you guys keep buying there console.   While my 360 won't last 2 months of hardcore gaming which i like do to alot, but you know i keep sending it in to be "repaired" in hopes that it won't need it again but microsoft still sucks me in to getting another one of there console even though its had more problems then there old one.

Hey, mine's never gotten the "RROD of death."

Troll thread is filled with fail.



LOL. Noobs are coming out of the woodwork as of late.



Obvious flame/troll thread is obvious.

You're off to a bad start CodeJerry.
