" Xbox 360 Customer Support – One Man’s Story
Posted by CheapyD

The following is one man’s account of his dealings with Microsoft Customer Support upon having an Xbox 360 system failure. I can’t say if his experience is typical, but I sure hope not, because Microsoft screwed up not once, not twice, but three times!


Friday, January 6th
My Xbox 360 console crashes while playing the Fight Night Round 3 demo. I guess Roy Jones Jr. kicked the crap out of my 360 too. Resetting the console just results in more crashing. Down for the count, I give up and call it a night.


Saturday, January 7th
A night of beauty sleep didn’t help as the crashing continues. I try un-plugging and re-connecting the power cord, but when I turn on the 360, I am greeted by the infamous “Red Ring of Death”.

I call Microsoft support (1-800-4 MY XBOX) and I speak to a guy who sounds like he has Down Syndrome. He assures me that the problem is a faulty power supply and that a new power supply and cord free of charge will be shipped to me free of charge. The phone call lasts about 10 minutes and I am comforted when I am told that the replacements will be here in “less than a week or so”. I had just purchased Dead or Alive 4, but I guess I will have to wait a bit to enjoy bouncing boobage fighting goodness.


Wednesday, January 11th (Strike One - Where’s My Brick?)
Early in the morning, a box arrives from Microsoft, but it looks way too small to be housing the giant replacement 360 power supply (and cord) I am expecting. Upon opening the box, I find only the power cord, although I was told I was to receive both a power cord and power supply.

Not surprisingly, replacing the power cord has not fixed the problem as the 360 still crashes in the exact same way as before.

I call Microsoft again and am placed on hold. This time, I speak to a female customer service representative who now tells me my 360’s problem is not a power issue (no shit) and if they can’t fix the problem over the phone, I’m going to have to send in my console along with the hard drive. She explains that the procedure is to ship a box with pre-paid postage to my home (will take “less than 72 hours” to arrive) that I will use to ship the 360 back to Microsoft. I am placed on hold for 10 minutes (listening to awful techno) while the rep figures out what to do.

When the rep returns to the phone, we go through a few troubleshooting techniques, none of which are effective. I’m told I will have to send my 360 in and wait about 2-3 weeks to get it back, plus I will lose all my saved data from my hard drive. I asked if there was any way to keep my game saves and the rep suggested purchasing a ($40) memory card. Note to Microsoft: Don’t tell your customers to purchase additional equipment during the traumatic experience of discovering their brand new $400 console is a doorstop.

I tell the rep I will call them back as I wanted to check to see if I could find a replacement at the EB Games where I had originally purchased the machine.


Friday, January 13th
After checking with EB, and learning they have no 360s in stock, nor are they expecting shipments anytime soon, I call back Microsoft to arrange for the repair and the pre-paid return box.


Monday, January 16th-February 1st
I’m lucky and am away on vacation, forgetting all my 360 woes. After I return, I ship out my 360 in the pre-paid postage box.


February 2nd
My 360 arrives in Texas, awaiting repair.


Monday, February 13th (Strike Two – The Vanishing 360)
I receive a phone call from Xbox customer support. The rep asks me if I have been able to connect to Xbox Live on my repaired 360. This is a troubling question since I have not received my console yet. I am then told that once I do receive my 360, I should test the Xbox Live connectivity immediately as there is a 50/50 chance it will not work. If I can’t connect to Xbox Live, I will have to send back that 360 and re-start the repair process. As compensation, I will receive a free month of Xbox Live and a wireless controller. I am stunned and confused as to why something like this wouldn’t be tested during the repair process. Silly me, but I thought the purpose of the repair was to fix the console. Are you shaq-fuing kidding me?


Monday, February 20th
I receive another phone call from Xbox customer support asking the same question as last week, and just like last week, I still don’t have a system! Obviously, I am extremely frustrated at this point, however this representative is very personable and seems intent on solving the problem of my missing 360.


Thursday, February 23rd (Strike Three – The Core Problem)
Another call from a personable Microsoft representative who tells me he will be my “point man” going forward. Unfortunately, my man starts our new relationship with some bad news for me. They just shipped out a replacement system for me, but it was a Core system, and not a Premium like the one I had sent them. I’m so glad Microsoft went the two SKU route. If their employees can’t figure it out, what hope is there for the general public? I am told that I will have to reject the delivery from UPS if I want a system with a hard drive. I couldn’t make this shit up if I tried.


Friday, February 24th
UPS rings my doorbell at 9:30 AM with the unwanted Core system. I reject the delivery and want to kick the UPS delivery guy in the nuts, with the hope Microsoft will feel it back in Texas.


Saturday, March 5th
Finally, my replacement Premium 360 console arrives. I can’t tell if it’s a new or refurbished unit, but at least it works. I never received a free wireless controller or the free month of Xbox Live that I was promised. Maybe that was only to be provided if my repaired console wounldn't connect to Xbox Live...who knows?

Hopefully Microsoft will get their shit together soon, so my fellow CAGs never have to experience a mess like this."

i wish my problem was able to be fixed my rebooting the system. its not though, i really have a dead box but i got the ebgames plan thing so i can trade it in there when they get a system in stock this week luckly...so i will be doing that instead of going to microsoft because its gonna take forever and its not even a brand new console. the refurbished ones they send back apparently only have a 90 day warranty too...thats bullshit.

I assume what you meant was that the refurbished consoles' warranty expires 90 days from the time of the purchase of your original system, not 90 days from the time you get the refurbished unit? So if your console broke 30 days after you bought it and it took them 30 days to get a working one back you would have 30 days left on the warranty? Otherwise I don't understand your gripe.

I hate the replace with refurbished policy. I got a monitor that died after one week of use - I felt like they should just ship me a new one - I didn't pay premium for a new monitor to end up with a used one after all. Long story short:

1) New monitor breaks after a week
2) I was sent a refurbished monitor that had problems
3) I was sent yet another refurbished monitor with problems
4) Wrote a letter and got a new monitor.
