Yes I read what you posted but you didnt read what I posted which was YOU ARE ONE LUCKY GUY BECAUSE THEY DIDNT CHECK TO SEE IF YOU HAD A BROKEN XBOX. I cant say anything towards that however for example you didnt trade in your XBOX360 for a PS3 you brought back your XBOX360 for a REPLACEMENT XBOX360. Saying you can easily try to get an Elite as a trade-in is one thing actually doing it is another. Its sorta like trying to renew your service plan after it expires... they wont do it.

 If your so sure then why not ask an employee if this is possible next time you go to BB.  I would assume something like a small product is ok but a 360.

I used to work at Best Buy and from what I know is they dont repair consoles, they send them to the manufacturer for them to decide if/whats wrong with it. If the manufacturer says its no longer working then Best Buy will replace your console with a new one or you can get your money back or ask for store credit which is the same as what you orignally paid. I dont think you could easily go in and ask to replace your current system for the new one (assuming the Elite is confirmed which by the way hasnt been confirmed so stop with these threads) even if you do have the service plan and pay the difference.

Best Buy would lose money on that deal since the old system would have to be sold by them again plus $80 is what you would actually pay for the new system and we all know Best Buy doesnt like to give stuff away without them gaining something significant.

Um both of you are wrong....I just brought in my broke 360 today to Best Buy and showed my replacement plan warranty. I told them it kept saying "unplayable disc", they told me to go get another from video games section. They did not check to see if it was working or not, and the manager put in my old hard drive into the new console when I asked to keep it. The girl at the counter did not even go through the two bags I brought in with all the cables and controller,and headset. i probably could have kept the controller and headset, perhaps even left my hard drive at home, and just given them the hdd-less 360 and cables and walked away with a brand new 30 with everything. Being able to pull off a stunt to trade the old 360 for the new 'elite' doesnn't seem too improbable from what I seen today.

Did you bother to read what we posted?  We both said they would replace your broken system if you have the service plan.  What you got was a replacement, you are actually lucky they replaced it on the spot because you usually have to wait about 2 weeks plus they usually check.

 Prove to me on that you can do this... tell me where it says you can replace your old system for a new one even if its working on your service plan brochure.  I know for a fact you will not get a new system by trying to do a trade-in and pay the difference, Best Buy is in the money making business its not a charity.

i found a free minute here so i decided to see if this was still going on lol... and apparently it is.

 

the point about homosexuality is, that there is nothing wrong with it. that just the way some people are. don't go telling them that it is " a sin" or that its wrong, its the way they are. its like you telling me being an Atheist is wrong, or me telling you that being a Christian is wrong. or that being white or black is wrong. It's not. It's who people are.

I fail to see how this is related to the topic?  MODS Please close this thread before it becomes a war. 

How about this.. LOCK THIS DAMN THREAD! This isn't about the 360 anymore. LOCK THE DAMN THING!

i happen to be a christian myself and yes the language does get a little irritating but it would be pretty complicated to censor what people are saying. And to all you people getting mad at us for playing violent games are overreacting. There are a lot a christians who thought pokemon was bad, some of us don't believe that you can't play violent games and bad movies, which you are completely ale to do. We can play whatever violent video game we want, he is just saying that cursing is more offensive to him than fake violence.tunasandwich395

This has nothing to do with religion because when you say you hate foul language in violent games then that means you are contradciting yourself.  Its like saying I love to eat apple pie but I dont like whats in it. 

I can't believe the OP. Most of my views on this matter have already been mentioned. How are you not bothered by the other activities you do in these games but are simply bothered by the language that is used? The game has a rating system which also includes what kind of content you will see be it violence/language/drug use etc. If YOU know that it will offend you in the first place why would you support and buy this product? There are plenty of carebear games that will tailor to your needs.

And don't be upset when people are taking shots at you when you are generalizing everyone who disagrees with you....

I have to agree with this post.  The box art tells you what your getting when you purchase the game.  If you dont read the rateing or content warning then why rant about foul language when your doing far worse things in the game such as shooting, stomping on peoples heads and even chainsawing.
