Unfair, Feeling RIPPED OFF!!!!

Prehaps you could take your xbox360s 250gb Kinect to a reputable xbox repair person/company within your region who is qualified in such repairs.This may reduce your costs and time waiting . Let your fingers do the walking and call around , I certainly would
do this before ripping into my xbox with a D-I-Y kit , although it may be your very last option available to you , before eventually realising that the expense may have been better spent towards a brand new xbox console of your choice or something completly
different , up to you . I understand you may be angry and frustrated with microsoft , but it wont help you get back into the game any faster and this is what we need to work on .. Have you tried absolutely everything ? If your xbox turns on and you get no
audio/video , you could try a higher quality HDMI cable and make sure your tv settings are correctly configured , or even trying the original composite cable(red/yellow/white) adjust settings accordingly , maybe trying a different TV .. even unplugging everything
etc , taking hard drive out , the list goes on as you probably already know .. I dont doubt you have scoured the Internet looking for a fix , hit all the xbox,com/support pages and done all you can , all avenues approached and your problem persists after all
possible fixes fail , it may be the xbox graveyard for your console . And the choice ultimately lays in your hands.If you could give a better discription of your operating system( I assumed a xb250gb with kinect) It may help us better to understand your problem
.. , and maybe the things you have attempted(optional) . I hope this reply can at least ease your pain a little and maybe give you another option to consider before giving up on it in a fit of gamers rage , I wouldnt be here if I hadnt experienced problems
myself , Its why I became an ambassador because of countless hours searching the Internet for an xbox quick fix , support pages and forums etc Its what lead me to try helping my fellow gamers in their darkest hours (usually in a dark gamers room somewhere)
so keep trying , dont give up just yet , you still have 2 lives left ..

FAME

yes the newer turtle beaches and polks came with the adapter HOWEVER i agree this is a shiesty move by MS...im still trying to grasp why they didnt just put the 3.5mm plug into the controller? Current audio cut outs from the adapter just shows that it wasnt
needed and is just another gimmick to over charge for another proprietary device.

Yeah these adapters are pretty annoying and should just be in the box with the X1. But yeah MS are hardly the only company to do this but doesn't make it any better.

I love the adapter with the controls right there at my fingertips.

If I want to use the same headphones and setup(3.5mm right into the controller) on my PS4, I need to go into a totally different menu just to change the volume, or change my setup completely and have cables plugging into two separate devices for an inline
amp to work.

I like it, but it should have been added like you said.

I would have felt "ripped off" had I paid £100.00 for a headset.
