    I've been trying to get this problem resolved for a year. I have called xbox support more times than I can count on my hand. I'm on limited time to try and do this again but here's what happened. I have had to send my xbox for repair multiple times because it would frequently crash or hard shut down on new graphically demanding games like Halo Infinite, Saints Row Reboot, Call of Duty, etc after some time. The last time I sent it for repair I was emailed what the new serial number would be as per usual but the console I got back did not match the serial number. This console also would crash on graphically demanding games just like the one I sent for repair. Another caveat was that I got the console back in August of 2022 from the repair center but this console's warranty had expired in May of 2022 so I couldn't even make the warranty myself without paying money when I still should have the warranty last several more months. Naturally, I contacted xbox support about this and explained the entire situation to a kind lady that verified what I had said and created a repair order for me on my account. However, this is where things went wrong. I don't know if she accidentally misheard or mistyped but the repair order was created for a serial number that did not match the console I told her I had in my possession. Thus, the repair team sent back my console with no changes because they were under the impression that I just sent the wrong console so my issue wasn't even communicated to them. I was even more frustrated that the lady just repeated the same thing the repair team said over email to me ignoring the previous conversation we had and the content I provided to her.

    I have emails, serial numbers, and plenty of information to provide but it seemed each time I called after that there was only empty promises and zero follow up. There was one time I called xbox support and after explaining the situation the person told me that my correct console was lost in shipping after he got in contact with the repair center. He told me that it would be sent to me and all I had to do was send the wrong one back. Months later nothing happened and I had no way of contacting that person after the phone call. I apologize to come off negatively, but I have limited time and I don't want to take another year to try and fix this. At this point I don't know what else to do. I just want a console that finally works.

    :)

    Constant crashes while playing Halo Infinite for Xbox console

    This is exactly whats happening to me while playing Infinite, did you ever get your problem fixed?
    I don't know if it's just halo infinite, but that is all I played. I sent in my xbox series x to get a repair and they sent me new or refurbished one. It was another halo edition series x with a different serial number.

    After sending my xbox series x to repair, the new serial number I was told I would get did not match the console I received. Can someone help?

    I'm sorry to hear that. I kind of had a feeling that was going to be the case but was hopeful you had gotten someone to actually provide service. Instead (as I assumed they would) they've forced you to give up (because most people have jobs and lives and can't call over and over and over for hours and hours on end and they know this).

    Yes, you are lucky to have a PC but it doesn't excuse this whatsoever. I'll likely be going to PC gaming or even Playstation myself (despite only buying Xbox since the original and having a couple hundred games).

    To treat loyal customers (and yes, doing insider testing, and 20+ years of only buying and supporting one company with thousands upon thousands of dollars spent IS a loyal customer) this way is despicable.

    Regardless, I hope you do get something figured out at some point!

    If not, I hope you decide to not give another dime to Microsoft-- a company that is obviously making a choice to steal from(or at a minimum, intentionally ignore/neglect) customers for a profit.

    Thanks for your reply though, I do appreciate it 😃

    Thank you for the reply but I have called so many times now and the chat option is only with other Microsoft consumers. It seems I just have to cross my fingers with the person I call and hope they follow up.

    Nope. Still dealing with the same issue and I have given up completely after months of trying too. I'm very lucky that I have a good pc to make up for no xbox but this is still very disappointing. I expected better of microsoft these days but looks like a couple of cogs in the system are not turning.
