Wouldn't put it past them.

Am I the only one who thinks Microsoft should make more of an effort to bring a one-stop blog under the Xbox banner to the community?

Major Nelson is almost separate from the brand, and is doing his own thing, but everything he's doing should be done by Microsoft/Xbox in the same friendly, approachable way. It'd be good for the image of the company, brand whatever IMO -- to be Johnny on
the Spot with news of what's coming in terms of Gold deals and freebies, what upcoming titles and events are about to hit. All that jazz.

I like the Live events on Xbox too, but I hate the presenters. I don't know if it's the same across the pond, but having what is essentially an old dude (MN), a bald Scot, and an Irish lass doing all the pressers gets real tired real fast. Who do these people
represent? Us, apparently, and Xbox. Heh ha. I wait now for the ive events to finish and I catch the highlights, or I fast-forward through the all chirpy, almost children's television-like, almost feigned excitement of the presenters.

Sorry. Hijacked your topic to rant a bit. My bad. {XD

I am one of the close to a million YouTube viewers who have watched videos on fixing the 3 Rings of Death on our XBOX 360s. This is the second XBOX 360 that has failed to live up to hardware standards. The first died within 2 years. This second died 3
months past the extended (since they know its defective) 3 year warranty. While a 3 year warranty sounds great it does not make sense that a company blatantly tells its customers that "*** happens." Hardware breaks...too bad, you want a new XBOX 360, then
pay us what a used XBOX 360 sells for at Gamestop. This is deceptive consumer fraud at its worst. I have spoken with 360 reps for hours and the company line is..."you want a replacement...that'll be $100.00 online $120.00 over the phone." I have been a
Live customer for 8 years this November and an Xbox owner since the original launched (launch night) 2 years prior. I do not want special treatment...MS is selling/has been selling defective hardware for years and while it extended its warranty the rationale
behind 3 years is trivial. Hardware breaks? Why does my PS2 still work, my 20 year old tube tv, my almost 30 year old Atari still works...my two XBOX 360s do not? Join me and the hundreds if not millions affected by MS's decision to sell defective hardware
by its unscrupulious CEO...Bill Gates on Facebook...Ripped off by MS (xbox 360). We need followers to show this people that we stand united against a company whose practices intend to hurt loyal consumers.
