Must vent anger.

           As I read clan posts I will relate some thing from my experience in my own reply to their posts.

           I was about to do this in my fellow Forza clan.  A post talking about someones favorite band and we should give thier new CD a try.  This led to a mention of downloading from the Zune site.  I began a reply about my dissatisfaction with said product and fathering company.  Just as I was going to hit submit , I took a breath a realized I was about to JACK a freinds thread with my highly negative thought energy.

          So that's when I decided to remove myself from the hallowed grounds of the clan sancuary and place this BITCH RANT here on my quiet unnoticed blog.  Beware, from here on I get very criticle.

1.  In June 2007 my X360 gave me my first 3 Red Lights Of Death. (Here in called 3RL ).  The box was purchased in February of launch year.  I felt luck that it lived so long.  Microsoft was called, you might know the drill.  Coffin sent, returned, bill paid, new serial # X360 built Oct. 2006 sent to me 5 weeks after 3RL.

2.  Less than 2 weeks after return of X360 #2 the singal red light on bottom right shows box failure of whatever.  Begin with phone call, new coffin, UPS Xbox to home world (Texas), new box with Aug 2007 s# arrives 4 weeks after singal RL.  I saved a week because I reused the first coffin. 

3.  Since I started using my X360 #3 I am not able to use media share to listen to my music library.  Spent time reloading program from MS site then spent 2 hours straight on the phone with service reps. (3) in far far away country who finally told me they would need to sent coffin to try and locate problem.  Forget it !!! 

4.  X-mas rolls by and I recieve a Zune.  This might talk to my console so I can listen to music again.  The item does no other function except turn on until you visit the MS site and load the secret files. WHY ?!?   At the site my PC loads Zune software then sells me the devise is not recognized.  Maybe my PC is too old.  The XP is only second edition.  I will try the my Ladies brand new Laptop.  Same results.  Most remember how messed up Xbox Live was first of the year.  I waited till end of first week in January 2008 to try a phone call for tech support.  No real person was availible after over 1 hour of automated B.S.  Back in the box and back to the store.

5.  Lately I have been recieving unreadable disc errors on COD4.  I very carefully cleaned the disc.  Seems O.K.  My Forza2 has longer than normal loading of tracks.  This week the disc drive is making quite a lot of sqeaking, chirping noises.  Good thing I kept both the old coffins.

 

When I play I enjoy myself.  The game developers have added so much over the past years.  The games have so much more deepth in story and graphics.  It's too bad the support hardware fails in so many ways.

I liked the excuses they made when my 360 failed. I also like how they tried to say it was my fault.
