What Do I Get?

I want to know what I get. I bought the Xbox 360 on the first day of release. I bought the Slim version immediately as it came out. Now in the past years I bought the Xbox One Day-One Edition. I have been a loyal fan that companies like Microsoft should
strive for, yet, I feel shorted on what I've been given. The newest console requires a full install of a game before playing it, yet you equip the system with 500 GB of storage knowing that it would not suffice for very long. Then release an external drive
for another large amount of cash, knowing that for that time, a 1 TB drive was in the realm of realism. I understand business but I also understand loyalty. Then Microsoft releases new controllers with a new input which could have been made for the Xbox One
from the start. Yet instead they equip the controller with a microphone/headset that works poorly with a plug-in that will only work for that specific headset.

So what I want to know, is what I can receive for compensation for all the times Xbox has looked to protect and enlarge their own income instead of looking to support a 'die-hard fan' of many years. I appreciate people who can look at this in the correct
perspective and redirect this to where it needs to go to where I can find a resolution.

Thank you for your time

What do I do?

If you contacted Xbox support they should have set up an unauthorized access escalation to get you your account back and they will also look into any purchases that were made while the account was gone and refund you for those. When the investigation is
done you should receive an email tell you that you can recover the account.

If they have not set up an investigation for you then I would contact Xbox support by phone and have that set-up so you can get your account back.

 

What do I do?

My windows live account associated with my xbox live account was recently hacked and whatnot, passwords changed and everything. Now I can't recover my account to another xbox or even change the password or email online or on the dashboard. I went to hotmail
and tried recovered my password but it still doesn't seem to work. I was wondering what are the options of getting my account back? I don't really care that much about the email account itself as much as the xbox live account. I tried contacting Microsoft
about it and they put me through the recovery process but I have yet to here a reply from them after 36 hours (they say it takes 24 or less). How should I proceed? This is my second account btw.

 

Hi XxSHO0TERxX,

Unfortunately being a die hard fan, won't get any kind of compensation. I've had an Xbox Original (day one), Xbox 360 (day one - multiple consoles), Xbox One (day one - multiple consoles), Xbox Live (with almost the longest tenure possible), and I don't
get anything nor really expect anything. I have a Samsung fridge, stove, dish washer, and 3 TVs, but I don't expect Samsung to give me a free TV for liking their product.

I do get beta invites from the dash, also they just gave all Xbox Live Gold users the ability to play and give feedback on Alpha games. Also there is games with gold, where if you have Xbox Live gold, you get free games. Microsoft has been doing a lot for
us gamers, giving what free content they can, and always adding features. That alone is compensation enough for me, and I'm more than happy with it.

 

Hey XxSHO0TERxX & Hydro Skillet,

You guys are awesome I can't say I've used xbox for as long as you two but I can say I have been a loyal customer just like you guys. Like Hydro said in recognition of your support to the growth of the Xbox community Microsoft has released awesome programs
to give back to those users. One of them being games with gold. I wont talk to much about that because Hydro already spoke about it. If that's not enough Microsoft even has a rewards program. Yep you read that right. So get this if you but a new game you'll
get points. If you play a new game you'll get points. If you buy a movie you'll get points. If you participate in any survey you get points. OHHH my, you can get so many points. Awesome, so what's the POINT of all these points. heheh they turn into REAL money
on your xbox live account. So you can get money for playing a game referring a friend. Ohh yeah. That's just like the coolest thing ever. So I know this program is something you'd like to be a part of. Or maybe you already are and just don't know it. DDD

So go to rewards.xbox.com/myrewards to view your rewards account or
www.xbox.com/.../rewards to learn more about rewards.

Hey I know a thing or two about getting free stuff hehe.. DD awesome. Keep rocking on guys.

You will receive the same thing we all get, Xbox Rewards (If you choose to sign up for it) and free Games w\ Gold. If you are in the Preview Program you may receive beta codes, and if you've purchased certain games you will receive codes for free content.
Microsoft is a huge cooperation, of course they are going to do what's profitable, but so far Microsoft has done a fantastic job of listing to our suggestions.

The controller has a specific input because Microsoft wanted to give us the option to adjust and balance volume straight from the controller, give us quality audio, and allow 3rd parties (Astro for example) to make their own customer adapters with their
own custom features. The community spoke out and said they wanted a basic AUX output so they gave it to us. We also said we wanted backwards compatibility, they gave it to us.

I do agree that 500GB will fill up fast, but I have a HUGE game library. Someone with a small game library won't have any issues with 500GB. Microsoft went with 500GB to make the console cheaper for us to buy as well. The Xbox was already $100 more than
the PS4 at release because of the Kinect so adding a 1TB HDD would have cause the price to raise even more. Also, Microsoft does not sell an official Xbox HDD so Microsoft is making no extra money by allowing external HDDs as extra storage.

I've been team Xbox since 2007 and I don't feel like I need any compensation. Even through all the RRoD 360 consoles, messed us controllers, and issues with XBL it's hard to beat the experience I've had with Microsoft.
