I finally got my 360 back. The whole process took from August 10th til September 18th. Felt like forever. I'm pretty sure I got a refurb too. It had a manufactured date of April 28, 2006. The only real difference I can tell is that it doesn't seem to be as loud as my old one. Guess that's a plus. So for any of you that are going through this or will, that is about 5 1/2 weeks. That's from the time I called to the time I got it back. Like I said previously, I was told by customer support that they can not keep your 360 longer than 3 weeks at the service center. That does not include all the time it is in transit. Well, I hope this information can help just one person from being aggrevated like I was. Just be persistent in calling and it will take less time. Good luck, 'tonix.;)

Well, I finally stopped procastinating and waiting and called customer support at XBOX. They asked if I talked to Max. I said yeah I did. Then, I asked him if they could tell me what was taking my 360 so long to come back. He put me hold a few times, checking things. The last time it was for about 35 minutes. He said he had to check his resources, so he could tell me what was going on. When he came back he said that they were only allowed to keep the consoles for 4 weeks, not including the time that it is in transit. I thought that was a good piece of information to have. He said that they will be shipping it back by Tuesday of next week and to call on Friday to check and see. I thought he was pretty helpful. I didn't have to get angry or be harsh. He just did what any person doing their job should do. For that, I thank Ben. He helped me restore my faith in Microsoft a little today. Anyone with a red ring of death, be advised that they can only keep your console for 4 weeks. If it takes any longer than that make sure you call. Hope that helps some of you in the same situation as me.:D

I am really tired of waiting for my 360. Customer support told me the first time I called that it would take 3-4 business weeks to get mt 360 back and it has been 5. I guess I might be impatient, but why do they tell you that instead of being truthful, by saying we have no idea. I want to play Bioshock and Two Worlds(eventhough everyone thinks it sucks). I also am paying for Gamefly that I can't even use, because I don't have my damn console. I am bored and I am tired of being on the computer and playing games on my DS. I gota flat screen HD LCD TV that I am paying for that I want to be playing a game on, not just watching reruns and reality TV, you know? When will I get my damn 360 back, Microsoft?:evil: I don't know how many people are having this same problem, but why can't they just send me a new one and take their time repairing all the returned, malfunctioning ones later. You know, keep the customer happy? I hope I have mine back before Beautiful Katamari comes out. Hell, I hope it is way before then. It better be.........

this year's E3 was a little disappointing to me. it seems as though the only game that mattered was Call Of Duty 4. i, of course, watched E3 on G4 and it seemed that was the only game they were interested in. i'm sure it is going to be a great game, but there are others that will be just as good. i watched all the prss events too. i think microsoft kinda disappointed me a little. i thought they would wow me more than they did. i mean who cares about disney movies. not any of the hardcore gamers i know. they also didn't discuss anything about games coming next year either. i also own a wii, so watched nintendo's press event. though i am looking forward to the zapper, the games just aren't that exciting to me. i am so tired of mini games, you know? they just aren't coming up with anything for a more hardcore gamer either. i have been gaming since atari, and i guess i just like a game with some substance. nintendo seems to want to market to the masses. i guess that's okay i just want to hope i didn't buy this console for nothing. finally, sony. i'm sorry to say they impressed me most with games like Drake's Fortune and Folklore. i am almost bummed i didn't get one. most of their games don't come out till late this year or next year. i guess it's time to start saving up some money. well, all and all i missed the old E3 there was just so much more enthusiasm last year. i was more excited for the games. well, maybe next year microsoft will bring it.:)

is it just me or are ther like no good games in the summer. i really don't understand why publishers don't realese games when kids are out of school. i mean, i'm not in school, but i have more free time in the summer than i know what to do with. then, they tease us with E3, and right around the end of august or the begining of september there is a flood of great games that i don't have time for and can't seem to get enough money together for right away. i guess while waiting for Two Worlds, i'll watch E3 on G4 and daydream about a good game to play. btw, Overlord is a pretty good game, just not great. does anyone elseagree with me about the lack of summer games and E3?

i decided to download the overlord demo off of the marketplace night before last. it took over 3 hours (that's when i went to bed). i have a broad band connection, and even with the best internet connection my isp provides it is still taking forever. i tried to download another demo last night just to see and it did the same thing. is everyone having this problem? i mean my computer isn't that great and it moves faster than that. btw, overlord is going to rock!!!!!!!!!!!

i was just trying to finish up oblivion and all of a sudden this thing comes across the screen saying the disc is unreadable. sonofab****. now what am i supposed to do. any advice out there? ......:x

hi everyone...i haven't been up here lately because oblivion has been consuming all my free time. it's the greatest rpg i've played in the longest time. i was kinda skeptical at first but it has already proven its self. there are some things i am having trouble with though. does anyone know where i might go to get some advice or help with some of the basic mechanics of the game? i bought the game used and it didn't have an instuction manual. i don't even know how to cast spells. i don't use magic that much, but it would be nice to know. i'm more of a swordswoman myself. if you can help me let me know. thanx.:D

i got my x box 360 today. yea:D! now are there any good rpgs on there yet? if anyone knows of any let me know.... also what is this game two worlds about? i keep hearing about it but nothing in particular. i know it's for the 360, but that's it. someone please tell me about it i'm begging, please......:|

i was kinda bored so i decided to make an entry. i had a pretty boring day today. i wnt to eb games to pay on my pre-order of smt: persona 3. i looked arund for a while and this guy came in to buy some game. there was this young guy working that i didn't know (that's kinda different, cause i know everyone there). guess he was new. but the guy that came in was giving this guy a hard time. i hate when someone is trying hard to do their job and a person comes in and proceeds to tell them how to do it. i could see him getting all flustered and i felt bad for him, you know? anyway that just really agitates me.:evil:well just wanted to get that off my chest
