    Xbox getting its act together in the U.K


    Well anyway..... @Wolfgang.. you are right its not technical issues, has i stated i was able to turn my Samsung TiVo box over via xbox, i was just not able to go to preset channels via Virgin media who is my cable provider, obviously what annoys me is
    on day one this service that was advertised to the world was only available to one region

    we have one main satellite provider, then free sat

    we have one main cable provider, then we have Freeview boxes, then terrestrial TV

    in the UK we don't have a great deal in the way of media companies so to have implemented this would of been fairly simple compared to vast amounts of satellite & cable providers with a vast amount of different makes & model consoles in the USA,

    and yes this is a moan because i expected that experience to have been there day one, i feel i was miss sold the xbone

    because would you normally hand over £450 for something that was advertised to then be told you may have to wait 6 months for or maybe longer?

  2. I knew this before launch yea Microsoft ripped us Brits or tried to. Pay full price for a product that doesn't do what was promised at launched. Boy was this product rushed to the market in order to make £ for MS. But it's all good, I didn't buy and probably
    never will. I still think a redesign should be on the agenda for the future but I'm not holding my breath.

  3. Just ignore Mia. He's like this all the time....condescending/annoying. Yawn.

    Nowaysis has a valid point and I'd be frustrated too.

    At very least, UK customers should have paid an equivalent price.

    Which bit of tax do people not understand? Microsoft did what they could hence a free game to their loss! The only thing missing is compatability with virgin and sky, I am sure it is coming.

  6. Governments don't set the RRP for products, the companies do. I'm sure they be doing the free game thing all year. MS not announced anything for Europe as yet, don't think i want to know the RRP in Euros. It's going to be a tough year for Microsoft!

    @listed mia its like someone has learnt a new word "troll" some of you can't stop saying it, you go off subject at the very point of using it, you have not got a Scooby doo, if you can not deal with somebodies issues then simply refrain from doing so "simple"
