I'm on my second Xbox one repair after only eight months

"That is the new American way."

you nailed it right there

 

I believe you guys are a bit construed on my point of contention. You have focused on my dislike of sending in my xbox and having to wait, when I would prefer to take it straight back to the retailer and exchange. Through Microsoft's current policies that
is not possible. I understand the $400-$500 holding fee and it's purpose. To keep every Tom, ***, and Harry from simply cashing in on a new xbox after claiming false repair. With that said I still say the retailer and the company should hash it out. This
might actually create an air of responsibility to the company that issues said product. My main point of contention is the failure of one product, two times in eight months. This is unacceptable. Icestorm you say I should return to previous generation gaming
systems because it's not for my generatin. I distinctly remember many complaints that Microsoft, on announcement of the Xbox one, spoke to much the features on the one other than gaming. Microsoft had targeted their initial release to guys like me. Players
that grew up with gaming systems, that had moved on to develop families and favorite TV shows. They offer xbox gold on the one that covers my entire family. If they targeted guys like me thye should have worked to meet our expectations. We played games on
systems where upon insertion of a cartridge the system let you immediately play a game. Most importantly it worked. I see I am spitting I into the wind. We are being over run with complacency and substandard practices.

 

Including my English in that last post. Big thumbs good for gaming, bad for typing on a phone

 

In New Zealand and Australia when a product is still under it's 12 month warranty, under our consumer guarantees act we do not have to deal with the manufacturer the retailer does no $500 credit card hold thing and here we can exchange, refund, or send for
repair which legally must be repaired in a reasonable time. I understand things are different in the US. Maybe the faulty X1 consoles were made by foxconn the other manufacturer Microsoft uses is Flextronics for Xbox 1. Foxconn is notorious of slave labour
poor working conditions and their workers work like slaves according to certain legit articles on Wikipedia. If a company isn't functioning healthily it isn't going to pull out reliable products.

No, that's US law (or lack thereof). Retailers aren't held accountable for squat. If you want that level of consumer protection, move to the EU. Enjoy the up-to-50% income tax and 15-20% VAT while you're there.

 

Also enjoy the free health care and minimum wage (here in the UK at least).

 

Still avoiding the 2 Xbox One's in 8 months, are we?

 

Hello "Rat3strdm"

The first Xbox 360 almost made it to the one year mark before it RROD'd on me. I know how it feels to have to constantly send your console in for repairs.

Have a nice day or afternoon or night

 

It's a sad day when a persons gaming system malfunctions / breaks. 2 systems in 8 months is sad. However if it happend to me I would still do what I had to so I could keep gaming. I know it would suck though.

As for getting a ps4 , that's your call. I have a ps4 and I visit their forums every day and I see the same type of posts as the OP . Which is sad because it happens with all consoles . Some people never have a console break while others can't keep one playing
no matter what they do. They're plenty of unsatisfied ps4 owners just as xb1 owners . And there are many satisfied owners of both.

Good luck in the future OP.

 

Now that I have completed my rant: I will wait for my Xbox One to return. I may have continued this useless banter for the simple reason of boredom (nothing to play). After much consideration, or maybe not that much, I will continue to use my One. Why? Halo.
Perhaps my next repair will yield better results. However, if they do not, I will become bored and have to rant again. So Microsoft, keep me playing, so I do not become bored and began to rant. It has been fun. Thank you, IceStorm III for being a valid debater.
It is mentally stimulating to blow off steam and then have to answer logical rebuttal. Game on my friends I will join you in two-three weeks.

 

From it's release, I've been nothing but turned off from buying one. Now I'm going to have to *shakes fist at MCC*

 

Phillips are not known to be at the high end of the electronics market. They never have, at the end of the day you get what you pay for.

 

^ not actually true,. Back in the day they were a leading brand and has been pointed out they were one of the developers of Blu Ray.

 

Hello everyone

I love the Xbox Brand

Even after going through two Original Xbox consoles (2 Defective DVD Drives) and six Xbox 360 consoles (4 RROD and 2 Defective DVD Drives); I am still here

I understand that these things happend, so it doesn't bother me at all

Have a nice day or afternoon or night everyone

 

@ Genchy actually you wrong Phillips was a leading brand in the 70's they was overtook in the 80's by Japan. Sony, Santo, Panasonic, Aiwa, Tashiba, and now LG and Samsung. If you applying that Phillips are a leading Tech company then I gotta laugh. Phillips
was a cheap option for MS nothing more.

Correct me if I'm wrong but One has suffered with Blu Ray problems just like it's younger sibling the 360. 8 years on I still get unrecognized disk error pop up on my 360. That only happens on my 360 not my PS3 in fact it never happened. Don't big up
Phillips because the one uses a Phillips Blu Ray, it's wrong to do that to make your console look good.

There's a reason why Samsung are global and Phillips are not, no brainer!
