Xbox 360 is a piece of s**t

Ok, I got my Xbox back yesterday. They didn’t give me mine, they gave me someone else’s that they had fixed. I don’t think it was new because there were some spots of dirt where the HD is placed.

Anyway, I wasn’t home when the Xbox was supposed to be delivered to so I went to UPS to pick it up. The guy who grabbed the box for me looked at the FROM address and said…“Xbox right?” I said “yeah?”

Mind you it says nothing about Microsoft or Xbox. It just says Repair Center and an address.

The guy the says: “Yeah we get a ton of these in here.”

Me: “Really? That’s not a good sign, especially since you know what it is just by the address.”

Guy: “Yeah we get a bunch of these going in and out every week. This week has actually been pretty slow, but we usually see a lot of them.”

Me: “That’s encouraging.”

Guy: “Ok you are all set”

Me: “Thanks, I’ll probably be seeing you again real soon.”

Guy: “hahaha”

Oh yeah and it appears that my new Xbox has the Hitachi drive, but I am scared to mod it now with the high potential of needing warranty work again.

:tspry: on it working and getting it back!

glad to see u up and running again.

i had to go get a new one, lol.

core system, used my hdd and modded the drive.

I have the usb for the hitachi if u want to use it. The only way you can void the warranty is by hacking up the sticker that ms puts on there, a hair dryer and some patience u can remove it without breaking the security foil. But from what ive heard, MS doesnt even look at the boxes being sent back, they just ship out another one.

Hmmm. I was looking for a foil sticker on the one they sent me and I didn’t see one. I’ll check again.

What exactly happens when you mod the Xbox? Can MS tell what was done if I had to send it to them? Obviously they could tell if it worked, but it was broken (the only time I would need to send it back) I wonder if they would even know.

That’s too bad, I “babysat” an X360 and really enjoyed it. Had Gears of War and Tony Hawk, lots of fun.

Yeah, I believe it. I’ve been checking Xbox message boards since mine broke and it seems that the Technical Problems sections always have far more posts than any other section.

At least it happened before the warranty ran out. Otherwise it’s $140 to fix.

You don’t get a new one, you get a refurbished one.
