Microsoft XBox Support Doesn't Exist
,----[ Quote ]
| Well it's been a whopping 6 months that I've had the XBox 360 HD-DVD
| player and it's trashed. Turn it on today to watch a movie and the XB0x
| 360 doesn't see it at all. Been on support for 55 minutes now to have a
| lady I can barely understand ask me every question 3 times (using
| different wording) to find out that I need to pay for service because
| it's out of warranty and will cost me $80 to repair and I have to ship.

Good service??? Think again...
The 360's failure rates are bad enough; why does customer service have to be
this bad?

Top 10 reasons why Microsoft's Xbox 360 Customer Service is "teh br0ken".
,----[ Quote ]
| So there you have it Microsoft, the Top 10 reasons your support
| system is "teh br0ken", from my admittedly short experience with
| it. When I'd assumed a company of your size would set the standard
| for customer service, I didn't mean the standard by which to do
| better than...
|
| I realize it's probably no great revelation that their customer
| service sucks, but come on, why can't they fix this? Can they
| only fix simple things? That makes them useless for people with
| "real" problems.

Another Xbox Support Nightmare
,----[ Quote ]
| We seem to be receiving an increasing number of horror stories from
| Xbox 360 owners who have had to call Microsoft's Bangalore-based
| tech support call center. When your reason for calling is a
| bricked console, one would think it would be a painless and
| quick procedure to get the thing replaced or repaired.
| Apparently not the case, according to Brent from Consumerist.com

Microsoft's Xbox rewards caused massive disappointment
,----[ Quote ]
| As a keen gamer who has owned most games consoles known to man, I was an
| Xbox early adopter back in 2002 when the console was launched. So when
| Microsoft said they'd give early adopters lots of extra stuff when
| they reduced their prices - I was happy. Apart from the fact that my
| extras never came and no one at Microsoft wanted to know.
