I just lost all respect towards Mircosoft, because yesterday I got my 360 back (from of course the cheap Rrod) and out of the box, it wouldnt turn on!! If I could tallk to the head hancho at xbox/microsoft, I would slap in the face and tell him to stick with software. Maybe that extra $100 would have gone a long way with a PS3. Who Knows.

May I reccomend a PS3? PM me for some good recommendations. Also, I think there might be a way to turn your 360 on: get a flamethrower. Trust me, it's worth more that way.

Did you make sure the power cord is in all the way?

Did you make sure that if you have a power strip that it is plugged in?

Did you make sure then that the power strip is on?

oooh you just bashed a 360 for breaking, expect a lock very soon. Only broken PS3 stories are allowed in System Wars.

Nothing. That doesn't stop people from lying their asses off to increase their e-popularity though.

Ah, well - if it's not a real story then I'm sad someone would want to waste our time. If it's true, there are ways to rectify the situation.

Do you really not know why he would be demanding a gamertag? This is System Wars, we have PLENTY OF LIARS. They all want to make a side look bad, and have plenty to gain from lying. So yes, you need to make sure they are being truthful. I don't think it is wise to blindly trust anything anyone says or does over the internet.

um go ask them to fix it again. make sure that it is plugged in. i would say worst buy would be two worlds for the xbox 360. it had horrible graphics, it looked like a ps2 or something low graphics like those.

I've got at least 300-350 hours of entertainment out of my 360 and have yet to have an issue. It froze once during an 8-hour Mass Effect marathon but I haven't had a problem since.

Its only a bad buy if you end up getting one of the one's with an issue... mine doesn't have an issue so its a good buy.

Espada12
The repair process is linked to your LIVE account (if you have one)... it also provides verification of ownership. If someone has a 360, then they can plug it in, take the offline account they've been playing on, and put it online. Then that account will have all the gamerpoints, records of games played, etc that identify them as actually owning a 360. - Without that verification, we have no means of knowing if someone is (legitimately) facing a problem, or if they're wasting our time. In my case, I can provide a few pointers on speeding up the repair process in cases such as this - but I'm not going to bother if this person is not going to provide additional information.
