While this may be just an angry rant, I would appreciate opinions from others.
While I'm mainly a Wii user, I very much enjoy my Halo 3'ing and the 360's hardy multimedia aspects that the Wii just does not have, yet or never.
Story goes my friend buys an Xbox 360, I like it, I buy one. We barely enjoy two months of NAT problems playing Halo 3. Finally get that fixed, his Xbox RROD's (on christmas day to be exact). During the period of his Xbox being AFK mine starts scratching disc's, I call Xbox support they say its not harming any valuble parts on the discs. Being that I only really own Halo 3 for it, once that disc is ruined, my 360 is a just a $$$ Tivo sans a hard drive. A month ago my Halo 3 disc is scratched to hell and won't play. Microsoft says send it in. They told me it would be about 5 days after they received it that I would get a returned working copy. They got mine on February 26. My buddy finally gets his Xbox back yesterday... hurrah, yet I have no Halo, whatever should be soon right.. I recieve a knock from Purolator this morning, recieved someone else's 20 gig hard drive in replacement for my broken Halo 3...
I called support immediately after being puzzled by the hard drive. They have no idea what's going on, nobody at support would talk to me about my game or why I have a 20 gig hard drive. They told me to wait a week to see if someone from the "Xbox live support team with more knowledge of my situation" than present obviously, would call me. If they don't I'm supposed to call them again and a recite some stupid reference number to refresh the lovely communications staff's memory (customer data base).
GAH!
