Xbox Has ****ed Me Over Once Again.

Skotekal · 11-11-2008, 06:05 AM

Alright, so 3 days ago I had no choice but to place an order for repairs on my 360, then guess what? At the very end I get: "Oh sorry sir, but I forgot to mention that it will cost you $110, your warranty has run out." I had no choice at that point, so, okay. Then I hadn't gotten my print-off labels for the order to UPS, so I called in again today, and I go through the whole "give me your information thing" a 3rd time. Found out the guy who placed it the first time couldn't get my email right after I spelled it 5 times. So the new guy corrects it with the new idea of repeating it to me. Then guess what? The ****ing system is down!!! Went through all that for nothing, and I still only get a "call us in the next 24 hours sir. Sorry for the inconvenience." CLICK. Oh, **** right off! Seriously! Dealing with these people is one of the hardest thing I have had to do. I really hate when I can't get something done because of another person's idiocracy, incompetency, or something else related to stupidity. Am I not allowed to have something repaired? It's gonna take me all the way to Christmas to get it back at this rate. I am getting very tired of things like this. Can't anything ever go right? I miss out on Farcry 2, Call of Duty: World at War, and anything else that is coming out.

dude that sucks. yeah i hate dealing with the roboticly brained people on the phone that are hell bent on ****ing me off in whatever way possible. here is one of my favorite words for discribing stupidity for you: dumbassity. not refering to you of corse.

Skotekal · 11-11-2008, 06:23 AM

Good to know that I'm not the only one has been there. For some reason, my biggest pet peeve is stupid people. Now I have to wait till tomorrow to call in again.

Can check your warranty status online, it said mine had run out but then changed last min when i registered for repair. Took me all of 15mins to register mine for repair and print the labels off, was one of the easiest things id done getting something fixed.

Skotekal · 11-11-2008, 09:33 AM

Should have done it online, customer support made things that much more difficult. Oh well. Just gonna call back tomorrow.

I never called or spoke to anyone at all with mine, i hate people and avoiding awkward conversation is always good.

Never really thought about it till I got there, now if I do it online, there is no progress on a repair, but I just made one. Man, I am not good with dealing with people over the phone. That will be my last resort next time.

Id heard how easy it was to register for repair online and thought id definitely try that before speaking to any other human being.

Luckily for me it was really easy and was all done and dusted in 15mins.

15 minutes??? Wow, I have been trying to get this done for days! Well, at least I know for next time. Hopefully there won't be a next time though.

Yeah my biggest problem was finding a box and some packaging to make sure it didnt get bashed around in transit as mine was sent to Germany.

Skotekal · 11-11-2008, 11:14 PM

Crap, I forgot that I needed a box. Man, where am I gonna get a plain one... Or should I just get another 100 bucks and buy the arcade system, then just put in the harddrive. Choices, choices. Man, now everyone is playing World at War, and I am missing out on it. This sucks. Worst possible timing that this could happen too... That always seems to be the case. Oh well, wish me luck hoping that I get it before too long, hopefully before Christmas.

Get any box and just put tape over the logos or whatever, i stole one from work along with the bubble wrap and polystyrene.

Skotekal · 11-12-2008, 01:50 AM

That's a good idea, I'll go find an empty box in a little bit, and some tape.
