    before theres fault really. and sitting up on yer high horses talking crap about people who just wanna play vids, but cant? seriously its guy like you guys, and the people who were idiotically freaking out about it are the problem with gaming today. remember
    arcades? remember when the street fighter 2 machine went down? i mean prolly not but it was bullt *** and we bitched to the arcade guy about how street fighter was dead, people are gonna *** regardless. but our problem will be fixed, youll still be that douch

  3. @rabscuttle1 and clang20 you two are clearly boyfriends so let me explain something, people don't pay for service to be left in the dark and stare at a *** dashboard all day. or be forced to do 40 steps to play different games online, we pay to play not
    wait, i have seen plenty of people waste money for no reason because they either didn't see this forum or they were told to by customer support = Waste of money?! and you two expect people to be "Alright" with this and not say something? like rebel said you
    two should get off that pony of yours. Unlike you two we dont have our mommys paying for our gold so it means more to most people than someone eating off there dads unemployment check, so why dont you two go shove it and think before opening that mouth you
    entitled morons Black screen upon starting games :).

    By the way thanks Microsoft the issue has been fixed for me! no issues in the last day, and a few of my friends say its working good for them too. Thank the heavens!.

    Black screen upon starting games

    @XpR0xCreaTi0nX if you go back and look at my other posts you'll see I'm talking to those that said they were going to ditch Microsoft and Xbox over this. Wanting to know what's going on and what's being done to fix the problem isn't crying. There's a legitimate
    amount of complaining and then there's over the top whining. It's the over the top kids I'm talking to. Wanting answers from Microsoft on what's going on is understandable. Demanding an instant fix to a problem, and then threatening to ditch the company because
    you don't get instant gratification is being a whine ***. Which I made clear in previous posts. And I'm an adult in my 30's who works hard for and buys his on ***. I would guess your a youngster by the grade school homophobic insult you threw my way. Or an
    ignorant redneck.

    So does anyone know how to make an actual complaint. I was told by support it was my own fault I had the black screen because I have an "old an faulty" console (what they mean is it's out of warranty)

    @Sleenius - If you have a legitimate complaint, then you can likely post it here:

    forums.xbox.com/.../default.aspx

    That would be the most appropriate place for it. I can't speak to how much it is read or replied to, but that seems to be the spot.

    Yeah I saw that but it's clear it's not going to get any kind of response - it's unbelievable that a company doesn't have a proper complaints process - it's like saying "we don't care what our customers think" a UK based company wouldn't dream of being like
    that - and the USA used to lead the way when it came to customer service as little as 10 years ago.

    Mine only freezes on Halo 3, it goes black and nothing happens. When I press the guide button, I can hear the sound, but nothing happens. I then have to restart the console to play another game. /Black screen upon starting games :(

    This is great, seems to be resolved. Thanks for your hard work getting this fixed, Xbox Support.

    As for those out there who are still whining about the fact that this happened and saying they want compensation, three things for you to consider:

    1) Technology fails sometimes. Deal with it. If you can't understand that simple fact, your life is going to be very, very difficult. Just be thankful this wasn't something serious like an extended power failure or a communications blackout. Consider what
    it is you "lost", and compare it to something like that.

    2) Check this out:

    5. Services disruptions and backup

    We strive to keep the Services up and running; however, all online services suffer occasional disruptions and outages, and Microsoft isn't liable for any disruption or loss you may suffer as a result. You should regularly backup the content that you store
    on the Services. Having a regular backup plan and following it can help you prevent loss of your content.

    Read your agreements. They said right there that this can happen, and they'll do what they can when it does, but they aren't liable for compensation.

    3) The value of what you lost works out to be approximately 65 cents. Your cost for the annual fee was 59.99. That means each day of Live is worth 59.99/365 days in a year, which is a little over 16 cents per day. The outage, if you include today (being
    generous here, because it was resolved yesterday), was 4 days. 4 by 16 is 64, but the number is actually 16.4 cents per day, so let's round it to a nice 65. You want that cash or cheque?

    It's remarkable to me how there's this over-inflated sense of entitlement about this kind of thing. Seriously, suck it up, be happy it's back online, and go play your games. Oh yes, and shut up about it. The folks at Microsoft knew there was a problem, they
    followed their procedures, they found it, and they fixed it. They fulfilled their end of things. Now get on with your lives.
