so so glad you ppl seem to think you know anything about me by attempting to pick apart my harmless sentence. must be nice to think you have a grasp on what makes ppl tick. well whatever, good luck with those kind of attitudes in life.ninjaxams

It's amazing that, what, three... four? Was it even five? I haven't counted... but a selection of people all pointed out that your comments were short-sighted and prejudiced, lacking any real arguement, and yet you come out the other end with the conclusion that they - all of them - are wrong, and that you are right. Depsite providing no arguement or response whatsoever to the observations they have made.

And then you close with little patronising comments like "good luck with those attitudes in life..."

Last post for this thread: I'm not saying he's unclear, I'm saying he doesnt know what he's talking about. I'm not making a case for how there customer support is hard to hear, I dont really have a problem either. I'm just stating it's terrible. Regardless of Indian, American, African, Chinese, whatever. It's terrible.

I'm fairly sure he said "last post in this thread" as a safety to avoid having to reply to the inevitable annihilation of everything he said.

I hope this thread gets locked. I hardly ever, EVER post in the system wars thread because it truely is the most immature forum I've ever seen. The one time I post an article in a system war thread, BOOM - it turns into people pointing fingers about racism to make Microsoft's customer service look better. This forum is a joke. Irrational fanboyism is pathetic. Call me a fanboy, but I'm rational about stuff. I'm really not even a fanboy, I love Nintendo too. I'm just not going to support a system that RROD's and is pay-for-everything. Ridiculous. I wont post in here for a long time... if ever.carljohnson3456

How can you possibly be so hypocritical to pass judgement on this entire board as immature when your first contribution was to have a pop at somebody you dont even know and claim they're a fanboy simply because they said something in favour of the machine you're criticising?

Pot. Meet Kettle.

[QUOTE="ninjaxams"] so I'm ingorant because I stated ppl with overly thick accents are difficult to understand? gimme a ******* break. carljohnson3456

You're ignorant because you claimed their customer service was "a joke" because you were connected to an indian person, as opposed to a standard-english speaker. Not because you received poor service; not because the guidance was unclear; simply because you - at the very most - had to pay a little more attention because the person was indian. God forbid.

I'm not racist, nor is this comment. This customer service is a joke. Dont be calling anyone racist because they cant understand them. Dont use racism to make your precious 360 look better, because that is all your doing. "Your racist, there customer support is GREAT, so is the RROD."

I have all three consoles. Check my posts in the last 30 minutes. "Game of the year for me will be MGS4". "LBP looks like some pretty innovative stuff."

Or better still; check this very thread. "RROD is rediculous".

So yeah. Take your "precious 360" comments to the fanboy corner please. If that's all you can do to counter an arguement, imply fanboyism, then please refrain from arguing with me in the future.

It is indeed racist to say customer service is bad just because you were talking to an indian person. Like i said, i did a whole module on the rise of petty racism as opposed to overt racism; and this was the ****c example. Go look it up. (many, not all) people in western countries show natural hostility towards foreigners; this being like i said, a ****c example. People will complain about talking to an indian person simply because they are indian; if they couldn't speak the language they wouldn't be in a job. And if people can indeed not understand them, they wont be in that job for long.

whos being racist? its a ******* fact. I couldn't understand them. its nice to see ppls ingorance causing them to jump to conclusions is still in vogue on these forums...ninjaxams

I studied this for almost a month. 88% of people who are connected to foreign people on customer service lines express dissatisfaction, despite the overwhelming majority speaking english just fine. If you cannot speak the language, a company like microsoft would not hire you for a job which involves talking to people all day.

So yes i have every right to point out petty prejudice. It's highly likely that you could understand them just fine, but are just one of the majority as found in many linguistic studies who simply say "aw great, an indian person on the phone..." and immediately complain that you cant understand them, despite the fact that alls they ask of you is your address and serial number.

This is not good. I'm from Ireland and i have a 360, luckly I haven't got and RRoD yet, but when the day comes it looks like it won't be just as easy as sending my 360 back to microsoft and getting them to fix it.Sidburn19

You ring them. Explain you have the RROD, they immediately ask you if you've tried the three troubleshooting steps on the xbox website. If you answer no they walk you through them. If you answer yes, they ask you for your address and ship you a box, or ask if you'd rather have a label emailed to you to stick on a box yourself.

Someone picks it up, or you can drop it off at a UPS collection point. They post it back to you about 10 days later. That's exactly the procedure.

The only time proof of purchase is required is if you demand your money back or compensation in the event of having multiple 360s break down on you. Their policy is that three RRODs gets you a free game or xbox live or something similar; however you must show proof of purchase. This is to counter the eBay guys buying dead xboxs for 20 bucks then demanding compensation from microsoft when they ship them all off.

The guys on this site are saying they paid 1.5k for three xbox 360s in cash, from a retailer which sells them at RRP, with no proof of purchase. They refused to accept temporary replacements while thiers are being repaired, and wont provide any proof that they paid 1.5k for their 360s. They then say that customer service has treated them terribly?

Like i said; this is just embarrassing for them.

[QUOTE="Meu2k7"]So basically Resistance is becoming a Sci-Fi Battlefield Clone? good luck to them, Battlefield games are awesome, hope they manage to succeed unlike that mess like that recent BF wannabe.Meu2k7

A sci-fi Battlefield clone? Sign me up! 8)

Well BF2142 falls into that category, flying titans? was awesome :D

I thought that game pretty much crapped all over the excellent battlefield name. >_>

[QUOTE="Ninja-Vox"]

RROD is rediculous. But at the very least i can say that microsoft customer service is great about it. You ring them, you tell you have the RROD and straight away BAM - what's your address please? We're sending you a box. Notice how they chose not to say what the "it's more complicated" actually entails?

Far as i'm concerned this is sensationalist nonsense intended to garner up a bit of traffic. Good luck to them.

Mine crapped out on me twice and both times i was connected to an american. I live in the UK. If you were connected to an Indian person, it's nice to see that plain old racism and bigotry against foreign people still exists.
