So heres my plan...

Today. when I went togo play my xboxI got the red ring of death. So I turned it off and thought nothing of it. Then I remembered that my Xbox had my COD disk in it so tried getting itout. Problem was thatit wouldn't even turn on so I could open up the disk drive. So I called Xbox and they said I stillhave my 3 year Red Ring of Death warranty available but because it wont turn on at all they cant verify that it was actually the Ring of Death and I will get no warranty at all. So what Im going to do is just go to futureshop and buy a new one then switch out the faceplates with my currentlywrecked oneand return my broken oneandkeeping thenew one for myself. Before people say its un-ethical or anything like that I would like to say that microsoft selling me a faulty product and then greasballing there way out of the warranty is even more unethical.

They register the serial number on the Xbox when they sell it to you. They'll check it when you return it, once they see that it isn't the same they won't take it back. Too bad you trying to put one over someone isn't going to work.

so...you're shopping for a 360 with the rrod?

thats why im switching the faceplates.j-dog100000

Trying to pull off the switch-aroo trick? I'd hate to be a business owner if everyone did this.. but that's why there are serial numbers. Most places go as far as testing the electronic devices before accepting returns now.. because people are just shady.. Un-ethical? That's plain stealing. Not just stealing, like running in a store, grabbing a bag of chips, stealing.. but even worse. You devised a plan, and you plan to execute it. It will backfire, if it doesn't.. well there's karma.

Do you think an employee at futureshop is actually going to take that much time though? I think it would be amazing if they even checked the serial number on the outside, nevermind taking the entire thing apartj-dog100000

[QUOTE="j-dog100000"][QUOTE="laliberte11"] they always take the entire thing apart, they do that, then they will put a refurbished one in there, sign it TWICE to make sure everything is correct then send it back, dude its microsoft, they would do anything to keep $1 let alone $300laliberte11

[QUOTE="laliberte11"][QUOTE="j-dog100000"] I just cant see them taking the entire thing apart right then and there. I might be wrong about that though, but you never know I just might get somebody who hates there job or is having a bad day.j-dog100000

I don't wish you luck, you are basically doing something illegal. You might as well compare it to stealing.

you have better shot at walmart.. but then again they call electronics to come do their ok lol

just warning you the odds of you pulling this over is near zero. if you are busted depending on the store wants to react this is consider fraud...

So here's my plan....

I'm a former cia agent who just lost his entire team because of a rogue op on the team. Now I'm on my way to get revenge on this traitor but he's being protected by this other faction. So I planning to go into deep cover and pretending I went rogue too. But this other spy faction won't take me in with out proof, so I going to give them all the names of cia agent in the company as bait to lure them out and take them out and the rogue agent. But I'm not allowed to use the names and have to go to the Pentagon and steal them from this impossilbe safe with sound sensitive, heat sensitive and touch sensitive walls.....Wow. But I have this plan to get itthat includes a French man who surprisingly kicks a** ,a black man from the green mile who can hack computers, a hot French chick with a pen full of laxative, a fire truck and a stick of gum that's fool proof ........Do you think this plan wiill work?
