This is why NO ONE should own a 360 or go on Live

My friend just had the worst ordeal with his 360, he had a 360 arcade that he traded into to his local game store, but the system was resold without the internal 256 ram being wiped out and that had his profile on it with his credit card number and Xbox Live info.

So needless to say this 13 year old kid started charging microsoft points and extending the Live account.

My friend before figuring out exactly what happened he exhausted his cell phone minutes with Microsoft customer service giving him the run around, which were all in India by the way and he could barely understand them, but all they kept telling him was it was under investigation.

So my friend accessed his Live account through his computer and saw the kid's sign on I.D., then called the store and they tracked him down, but not before the kid made over $50.00 in charges to his account.

He managed to get it resolved through the game store and the kids parents but Microsoft was no help what so ever, and since they discovered he was no longer a 360 owner they seemed to care even less about him, even though he was having money stolen from his account because Microsoft made the internal 256 ram on the arcade systems have a default profile save created.

Microsoft really stinks and so does there lousy 360's, i hope PS3 and Wii stomp them into the ground.

>My friend is an idiot who forgot to delete his information, and now I'm going to blame Microsoft.

Pretty much...

He should have thought of that before he turned it in.

Let me get this straight... Your friend is stupid enough to sell his 360 without deleting his account info. and this is somehow Microsoft's fault?

Can we change the thread title to "This is why idiots shouldn't have credit cards and game consoles."?

So your friend resold his stuff with all of his information on it?

Sounds like it was his fault. Sucks to be him.

Whatever happened to accountability and personal responsibility? Quit thinking like a victim.

Your friends an idiot. Its the equivilent of selling an old computer, and not wiping the HDD with all of your bank info, and other private information. Next time use common sense.

Why should a corporation take blame for the actions of a dumbass?

He's an idiot for not being responsible with his credit card.

Your friend is a moron. I'm sorry Microsoft wasn't helpful, but if some random guy complained to me that he was dumb and got his identity stolen, I wouldn't help him either. It is Microsoft's job to protect your identity to the point that they're not supposed to share your personal information. On the user end, though, it's the user's responsibility.superluigi96

I consider myself partly a cow at heart, but I can't help you on this one. Your friend should've erased his profile before trading it in. On the external and internal memory banks. Common sense if you ask me.

[QUOTE="blazingneo32089"][QUOTE="Knight-of-NINE"] NO Microsoft are the idiots for making his profile be defaulted to the arcades 256 internal memory, instead of letting him put it all on his 20gig hard drive that he bought.BLBxLakers24

It's not Microsoft's fault. It's your friends fault.

U AND ur friend are idiots.blazingneo32089

THIS IS THE MORON!!!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU PEOPLE ARE DEFENDING A SYSTEM WITH A 65% RETURN RATE FOR BEING THE CRAPPIEST SYSTEM ON THE MARKET!!!! THEY NEVER RELEASED A PRESS RELEASE FOR THE ARCADE SYSTEMS SAYING THERE WAS A NEW INTERNAL MEMORY ON THE ARCADE SYSTEMS. THE GUYS AT GAMESTOP DIDN'T EVEN NOT ABOUT IT. AND IT'S MY FAULT?!!! YOU PEOPLE ARE THE IDIOTS FOR BEING DUPED BY MICROSOFT FOR BELIEVING THE 360 IS A GREAT GAME CONSOLE. I LAUGH AT ALL THE RED RING VICTIMS!!!! SO TO ALL YOU MORONS WHO HAVE A 360, GOOD LUCK WITH MICROSOFT CUSTOMER SERVICE IN MEXICO AND INDIA AND GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR RED RINGS, A**HOLES!!!!!!!!!!!!thedangle1

So as has been said before and i will expand upon with this post.

your friend being of less then brain sold his 360 without formatting it? *as well you can transfer the memory of the 256 mb internal to a hard drive* then the store he sold it too didn't do that either...so someone was able to use his account... *he could have easily logged onto xbox.com and changed his details or removed the credit card from his profile* and this is microsofts fault?

and not only that your friend of less then brain used a cellphone? A CELLPHONE to call a toll free customer service number? and used up his minutes *sounds like he used a pay as you go phone*....and this is microsofts fault?

I have to post this and only this.

Just because your friend was dumb enough (no offence) to not remove his profile doesn't turn into a reason not to own the console. it should be stupid people shouldn't be trusted with a console that connects to the internet than NO ONE should own a 360 as you have stated

I'm pretty sure Io actually remeber the Press Release about teh switch to internal memory on the Arcade 360. Its not hard to look and see where your profile info is stored and to erase it or move it. It was his responsability to keep is data safe and remove it when he sold his 360 in.

Also, my experience with Microsoft support/customer service was excellent. My 360 had RROD once and I sent it in and got a replacement console back within a week. It was very simple, fast, and free. The RROD is a very bad problem, but atleast they are handling it responsably. I love my 360 and I use it every single day for games, music, and movies.

I was right.
it is on the box.

says right on the box, 256mbs...

And this is why we have warning labels on everything. I think the last sentance of each manual or waning label should say, "if you don't read this, and something goes wrong, it's your own fault".
