I just tried twice talking to an customer service provider on MS about fixing my 360. Both times I hear loud noises in the backround and can't understand the lady I'm talking to, then all of a sudden the call ends! WTF? I've never contacted Sony's customer service but I've talked to Nintedo's a couple of times, and not once did I ever have this problem with them. :evil:

I've had to call Xbox customer service on more than one occasion and this has never happened to me. I suggest you get your phone line checked.

I had great experiences with MS customer care every time I have had to call them.

Ever considered phone line issues, as that is what it sounds like to me.

My experiences with them a month ago with RROD were above average. In fact they were bordering excellent. Very quick, basic question checklist had to be answered and the packaging labels were shipped the next working day. No hassle. Can't ask for more than that.

The thing is, you shouldn't even have to deal with them in the first place.

My points card when I bought Xbox Live was out of date. It took 3 weeks and 6 phone calls to fix it.
I had to threaten legal action before they could help me. None of them could speak proper English and I had to spell things out in Military alphabet(like saying A for Apple). They first claimed it was still in date, then they wanted to sign my E-mail upto newsletters from third party companies, then they said they'd call back and they didn't. I rang again and was told I had to take a photo of the point card with the code and date showing and e-mail it to them. I did...and still no reply.

After I that I tried e-mailing them saying that thry scammed me of my money and then made me run around doing this crap instead of helping me and if they don't fix it NOW, I'm going to the next stage. I got an e-mail saying they can't help and then 5 minutes later I got my points plus an extra 200.

Also another time I emailed them for help and I got the wrong answer not once, not twice but three times. The same answer that had nothing to do with my question.

Pathetic.

Tip: If you ever need MS support help. Don't be pushed around and be overly aggressive. It's the only way.

I cannot agree with you on this one. MS has a stellar customer service team. Have you ever tried the Sony customer service? When my tv died I called them and it was horrible. I need english.

Before I got off the phone I threatened with legal action because I'm suppose to call back in 4-5 business days. So if this isn't resolved by Wednesday.....

MS call centres are all outsources and I've never had a problem understanding them whatsoever. Maybe it's the user who doesn't understand other accents, I've come across many Americans who say they struggle understanding British speakers. So the problem lies with you.

its a problem when i can't understand someone when they have a thick Indian accent, even though i'm used to American accents. how is that my problem? i'd be willing to bet that there are a few regional accents in the states that would have you baffled.

besides, the problem with outsourcing isn't really accents at all. my issue with it is that companies save a buck, and its their won country's employment rate that suffers.

There are plenty of regional accents that would have me baffled. Boomhauer off King of the Hill is undecipherable.

I also wasn't saying the sole blame is with the caller, but that it's not necessarily their english vocabulary skills but rather their accents which are the problem, there's not much they, and to a lesser extent yourself can do about it. We all have accents.

My 360s drive was screwing up and i only had 3 days left on my warranty. So to get back to me, they called my house many times, and i was away at work, yet they didnt give up and got to me ASAP so i was still within my warranty

Seriously, thats pretty good service

I've called them once, had a lot of trouble until I got a good person to talk to. It just depends on who you get I guess. I got disconnected once but I just called back.

They're not bad...it just feels like your talking to a robot. You can tell they're reading what they have to say off of a paper,and don't know what they're talking about. Before the customer service was outsourced it was much better. The people knew what they were talking about.

I have to agree with firstDiscovery, i've had nothing short of fantastic service from MS support when it came to replacing my old 360 that failed, it took about 5 minutes on the phone to get it arranged for pickup the next day that was done and within 7 days i had a brand new 360 fully working.

All support no matter who can sometimes get a bad apple, it doesn't make the whole companys support crap.

Well I've had to send in my 360 twice and both times they were very quick about addressing my concerns, including switching my registered address the second time and sending my the required shipping information.

Yeah same here, the people were friendly, they took it on Friday, and it came back on the next Monday, that was really the very fastest they could take when you consider how many working days there were and the fact they needed a single day to fix it

What was even better, despite being a drive issue, they replaced the mobo with the new Opus (Falcon without HDMI), the new CPU as well the new heatsink.

I just tried twice talking to an customer service provider on MS about fixing my 360. Both times I hear loud noises in the backround and can't understand the lady I'm talking to, then all of a sudden the call ends! WTF? I've never contacted Sony's customer service but I've talked to Nintedo's a couple of times, and not once did I ever have this problem with them. :evil:jharv

I actually had the same thing happen to me toward the end of my call with Zune customer service. Might've been an issue on their end.

Well after 3 days of constant calling, being on hold, cursing at customer support I finally get a box to send my Xbox back. Worst experience by far. If it wasn't for my friend's list I wouldn't own an 360
