Never again...

I purchased a re-furbished Xbox One console, from Microsoft, online on 2/4/15. I did not receive it, via UPS, until 2/10/15. I proceeded to unbox this highly anticipated item. My girlfriend and I ordered this second console so that valentines Day could be
spent with both of us playing our favorite games together on the new gen consoles! Well lo and behold, I hook up everything, according to microsoft instruction, press the power button...it blinks, makes a tone, then immediately shuts off...repeated, same result...reconfigured
wires...same result...troubleshot everything, including the power block...no change. Now that console was returned via FedEx (interesting Microsoft uses UPS to deliver and FedEx to have things returned...) for repair on 2/10/15, it is now 2/16/15 and according
to tracking, it has sat in McCallen, Texas over the weekend and the estimated return window is somewhere between 2/27/15 and 3/6/15...More than a MONTH after originally ordering the product! Very last time I ever order any refurbished item online and last
time I will ever order a physical product from Microsoft! Should have gone with Amazon...Found same product and I have Prime membership so 2 day shipping, also Amazon guarantees working product or replaces it. Sadly I counted on the parent company being more
diligent than they were...

Never again..

Now i know obviously microsoft doesnt care about me im just a customer whos supported them since day one butttt, never again will i spend a dime on anything microsoft.. Ive had 2 original xboxes, one halo 3 edition, and 2 slims.. Now i take great care of
my purchases BUT Not ONE of my consoles has lasted more than a year whether it be the ring of death , a failing disk drive , or my favorite a thunderstorm, no matter what your xbox was manufactured with a set date to self destruct itself. I for one will not
pay more than it costs to pay a months worth of bills to play xbox until they want me to purchase another console. To add to the garbage consoles they make they also make you pay monthly for xbox live which goes offline randomly at least 2 times a month. For
all the money ive spent on xbox alone you would think id be a valued customer and theyd say [Profanity removed] man this guy has spent well over 2 grand on our products and has been [Profanity removed] every time.. but nope
im just another dollar sign in their litlle scam. [Profanity removed] xbox ill pull my sega genesis out (which btw STILL works AMAZING RIGHT MICROSOFT????) before i even think about doing anything with microsoft again.

So none of your consoles lasted even one year?

Then there was no need to keep buying new ones, as they still would have been under warranty, no?

Very good point. Why didn't you just use the warranty OP?
