curse you microsoft!

Post by spovz »

So I have been without a 360 (which means without Oblivion) for about a month now. About three weeks ago, I contacted Microsoft to send me a box so I could ship them my broken 360. Well, I've been waiting and waiting for that bloody box. Finally today I get a call from someone who works at Microsoft saying that they had tried to send me the box, but had the wrong address. So I gave them my address, and they said it was the same one they had! They told me they were going to try and send it to me again. I can't go much longer without my Oblivion! Curse you Microsoft!!! :Angry:

that sucks man, I can't imagine having to send my 360 off to someone else. Do they make you send in ur hard drive or can you keep it?

Actually you HAVE to keep it, or else you lose everything....

My friend sent in his hard drive once by accident and Microsoft had to go through hell to get his memory back, apparently.

Why does Microsoft have to send you a box for shipping?

Lol that made me choke.

"Bill Gates already has enough coins."

But if we give him more, won't it be an insult to his wealth? :lol:

I think your beef lies more with [&@%!] shipping than Microsoft...

Yep they send you a box with prepaid postage. At least they did something right. Now all I need is that bloody box!

The times I came to Gates were:
When I bought my first PC (Win 95)
When I bought my 2nd PC (Win 2000)
When I bought my laptop (Win XP)
When I bought my 360 with Live
When I got Halo 3

:P

I understand your pain, man. My Xbox 360 broke down twice in my time I've had it. The last time it broke down it took three months because those idiots at Microsoft kept on making mistakes and it really [&@%!] me off. Thankfully, I was patient enough since I had a Wii. Keep strong man, keep strong! :lol: :wink:

Haha thanks Syrek, but just a correction, I am in fact a girl! Anyways, the 360 was my fiance's but we broke up and he said I could keep it. However, I think that the reason they said they have the wrong address is because it has his name on it instead of mine, so my apartment building is rejecting it! That means that by the time its sent back to microsoft and they call again so that I can explain the situation, its going to be frickin Christmas before I get it back from repairs! At least I was lucky enough for my ex-fiance to let me keep it. Now all I need is to get it to work!

Awesome! I completly respect the fact that your a girl playing RPG's. But I apologize for thinking you a guy. I guess its because its usually the guys playing games and what not but I find that really cool that your a girl who's a real gamer. Rock on! Anyways, it sounds like you've already fixed your problem somewhat so I wish you all the well with getting back your Xbox 360.

Syrek, if you thing girls don't play RPG's, I think you'd be surprised how many post here.

I've often wondered what the split is, I suspect it's alot higher on the girls side than alot of people here seem to assume.

No, I knew they did play RPG's but its mainly guys who write on the forums and discuss whatever it is in gaming. I think its awesome that so many girls write on forums and play games.
