Finally, got my 4TH xbox 360 back from Microsoft…it stopped reading game discs in less than 2 wks.
I am so tired of getting faulty crap from Microsoft. Now I am searching for a Lawyer who is willing to sue Microsoft. I wasted many hours of frustration, along with my entire family on the xbox 360. If they keep sending you faulty 360’s, they are committing fraud and not really honoring their warranty.
Anyone know any great lawers? Drop me an email . Guess I will leave this post up top until I get some feedback. I would would really like to post some jokes and funny pictures but I need help with this matter much more.
(Still dealing with the Microsoft failure machine, the xbox 360. The story continues here, 2 yrs. later, as my 6th xbox 360 breaks down!!!)

Not really the answer I was looking for. But let me reply to your comment.
Are you saying that I should just forget that microsoft sent me 4 faulty xbox 360s ?
Perhaps you are trying to say Microsoft is doing good business practices by replacing non-functioning 360s with non- functional 360s?
Or maybe you are trying to say that Microsoft is just too big to sue?
I am not certain how getting a Wii helps me to sue microsoft, please explain further…

I think suing Microsoft will cost more money than it is worth. They have too much money to let you win. It is sad but true. But if you must pursue this, I suggest calling Judge Judy. You might as well take this to television and get your point made. Or try to get some other people that have had the same problem and go for a class-action lawsuit then you might have more leverage.

Have you been dealing with the vendor or Microsoft itself? If it’s the vendor, they don’t really have any interest in satisfying you, they just want you to go away while costing them the least amount of cash.

If you can actually get through to someone who matters, I bet they’ll sort this out.

The first time I advised my kids to buy xbox because I made the dumb mistake of thinking that microsoft would put some good titles together…instead they mostly put Garbage together even then…so later they go out and buy Xbox 360 and this piece of sht cannot get out of the repair shop…twice we mail it in, it takes months to get back, and voila comes back and something else is wrong with it. Finally, it comes back and cannot go online now! When I called those _holes at microsoft support all they can tell me is that its probably the drive and its bad…it turns out the fk thing even ruined my router and i had to buy another one…my best bet is that its the net card and they jimmied it when it was there, or else the three rings of death somehow damaged it…worst of all there are a number of games which we purchased, including oblivion which are now hampered because all the downloaded stuff that goes into the game is no longer available…in reality mcrosoft should have given me the expansions to the game, instead, due to their greed they make people have to download the expansions every time you try to play the f game!!!! NOW THEY WANT ME TO GIVE THEM ANOTHER HUNDRED DOLLARS PLUS SHIPPING PLUS HANDLING PLUS THE TIME LOST SO THAT I CAN PLAY MY OWN F GAME!!!!!! I am pissed as all hell at this company…this company needs to be sued and reconfigured!!! If you can look into the oblivion(morrowind) game and the requirements of microsoft to make you download content each and every time you play the game, there may be a wicked lawsuit there because then the burden of keeping the line open and working falls on them since they tampered with your property and or promised you an expansion to the existing game. Since you have a site going devote some time with this let me know what you come up with……I see a class action against them, and they deserve it something awful.

I am rather irritated with the Xbox 360 myself. These consoles are infamous for their unreliability, and Microsoft refuses to fix the problems they are responsible.
I bought my first Xbox 360 in March of 2006 with an extended Best Buy warranty (I decided to play it safe, given my bad experiences with the early PS2’s). That unit started scratching discs and it was replaced under Best Buy’s extended warranty.
My second (and current) Xbox 360 lasted past the remainder of the extended warranty, only to give me the “red ring of death” later on. The Best Buy warranty was expired, but I learned that Microsoft extended the factory warranty for three years for the “red ring of death” issue. I called them about it and I sent it to them. They repaired the unit free of charge, and I am assuming that my Xbox 360 was refurbished, given that it came back with that newer NXE operating system and a service date in place of the manufacture date on the back of the console. I know it is the same console, as the serial number is the same.
Now five months after I got this Xbox 360 back from Microsoft, this one is scratching discs like my first one was. I have never moved the console around at all during operation, so I cannot be at fault. I also do not have any pets or kids, so nothing could have knocked it around.
I called Microsoft about this issue, and they want me to pay to have it fixed, as it past the original warranty. I refused and stated that Microsoft is infamous for making Xbox 360’s that scratch discs. I wasn’t blaming the guy on the phone, as he is just someone that works there and does not make policy decisions, but I ended up ending the call and not sending the Xbox 360 in for repairs.
They did offer some program where I could exchange the scratched discs, but what would be the point of that? The machine would just proceed to scratch up the new discs (I have also heard you have to pay to get replacement discs). Admittedly, the scratching is not severe yet (I am not getting those huge circular scratches all around the disc and my games still fun flawlessly), but they are getting worse. My Elder Scrolls IV disc even has some knicks in the side of it from this shoddy console.
Why should I send it in for repairs? It already came back from their repair center, only to start scratching discs later on. Given Microsoft’s infamous reputation for shoddy consoles, why should I buy a new Xbox 360? It will probably just end up defective like the ones I have been through. Why should I pay for a problem that Microsoft is responsible for?
I am just irate, as I have invested a good deal of money into the Xbox 360, my HD output cables, and the games. I am all for suing Microsoft, but sadly, I just don’t see it happening. I have heard of class action lawsuits being fled against Microsoft in the past for scratched discs and not getting XBox Live service, but I have not heard of them getting anywhere.
I honestly do not know what to do. I do not want to give Microsoft more money to get another Xbox 360 (which would probably just break anyway) or give them money to repair my console (and it could just break again after coming back).
In hindsight, I wish I would have waited and purchased a Playstation 3 instead of an Xbox 360. But then again, hindsight is always 20/20. Thanks to Microsoft’s immense wealth, I doubt they will ever be sued anytime soon. Thanks to them, I will probably be forced to take a huge loss by purchasing an Playstation 3 and replacing a lot of my 360 games with Playstation 3 versions. I will also lose my game saves.
Getting a PS3 will allow me to get back to gaming in this generation, but I won’t ever get me my money back, my hard earned cash that Microsoft conned me out of.

I am assuming this site is US based, but I am having the same fuckin problems. I JUST threw out my 3rd 360. Purchased the first one, graphics card failed, then returned it under warranty. Luckily it went 1 week before warranty expired. Got “new” refurbed piece of shit, complete with 90 day warranty, which failed @ 110 days (DVD drive). Purchased new a new arcade, added my HDD (120GB) and used that, and wouldn’t you know, at 108 days, the DVD drive comes down with “open tray” error.
This company HAS to be brought down a peg or two. I hope, with all my heart, that you are successful in your ambitions to sue them. As I am in Canada, trying to sue under these premises is near impossible, but maybe if you can change it down there, EVERYONE can reep the rewards.
I have made the decision to purchase one more arcade. THIS WILL BE THE LAST. The ONLY reason I am even doing this is to be able to play the games I currently have and to maintain my ranks on the leaderboards (currently ranked 51st on BF:1943) . No further game purchases will be made by me, nor new accessories.
Like I said, I hope you are successful, and I REALLY wish I could help with some names of lawyers, but I am not in the US.

The other day I reported that I was getting emails in from disgruntled Xbox Live users who had been banned by Microsoft for allegedly connecting to the online service using modded consoles even though the consoles were totally unmodified. Today I’m hearing that some of those affected are finally getting somewhere with tech support.
Initially, Microsoft’s response had been that the process used to identify modded consoles (a process that would allow the console to play backed up game) was 100% accurate and that there was nothing that Microsoft or users could do other than buy a new console. At the time Microsoft wouldn’t even take the consoles in to be checked or repair. Now is seems that things have changed. I’m still waiting for official word from Microsoft but according to several affected gamers that I have spoken to, Microsoft is now backing down from the initial stance and some consoles are being unbanned and others taken in for repair.
As to what the magic words that you have to say to tech support are in order to be listened to, I’m not sure, but I imagine that polite persistence is the way to go.

Lol @ sue Mircrosoft.
I bought the first run of Xbox 360 for my son when they came out. Lasted approximately one week before it red ringed. Being an IT type of guy, I cracked it open very carefully , and took note of the insufficient heat dissipation setup. Sent it to Microsoft, received a refurb unit. Cracked that one again, and see that they replaced the heat sink setup. Thing ran like a champ for another few years until it started failing to read discs. Back to Microsoft, and sent back with no physical changes, just a new DVD unit.
In 2010, I bought another 360 due to wanting one, but this time bought used. Traded the new one to my kid for the original, because he got a HD tv for Christmas, and my 360 had an HDMI output. Kewl. We switched, and everything was ok. Until………the random crashing. Fuck. Took the original apart again, and OMG so much dust clogging that thing up. Cleaned it, working. Sweet. Ambient temperature gets about 80 F, and then it starts crashing again! Now I’m losing my mind. That’s it, Im going to mod the fuck out of the case to increase airflow, ya know, something Microsoft should have done TO BEGIN WITH. Added holes above the heat sink to allow cold air in directly from above the unit. Added a fan I had from an old graphics card to the front of the heat sink on the GPU. Now were talking. No more random crashing. Until next time.
Moral of my pointless rant:
1. Microsoft sucks my ass.
2. Xbox 360 is a total piece of shit – underbuilt, and defective from the get go.
3. If it’s out of warranty, take it apart and clean the goddamn thing.
4. If this one rings again, I’m gonna cannabalize it for parts, and then stomp the shit out of it like in Office Space.
5. Microsoft suck my ass (did I mention that?)

After 7 bad ones I sold #8 to my son before it even arrived home. Moral of my story…if someone would have helped me sue Microsoft, they might still have a potential customer in me. However, knowing their stuff is crap, that they will not honor their warranty by replacing the product with something that works, AND knowing that nobody has the guts to sue them, leaves no chance of me ever buying from them again. Who is going to buy a product they know is crap,will, not be replaced and they have no chance at legal discourse if the warranty is not honored. NOBODY! Well, unless they are stupid.

Considering I do not even have an xbox 360 anymore, I do not really see that happening. I am certain though that are many others who are still having issues with them and would love your help.

My dad is a lawer and I repaired a xbox 360 cos a E74 error code and it won’t turn on and when I sent it off for a repair(from microsoft not other retailers) they gave the xbox 360 back in the exact same status. My dad said”One more fault from microsoft and I will sue them myself!”. Anyway I would have done that the minute I called from London to North America complaining about Gamestation giving me a XBOX 360 SLIM £255.99 120GB and HALO:REACH but it won’t even turn on! Same from game store, what shit did they give me for goddamned sake! I bought a windows 7 laptop and it is slower than windows milenium.

The Console that I have has now scratched Two disks in 2 weeks mind you that there has been no disturbances to the box ever besides when they repaired the notorious RED RING. I called their ironically name Customer Support line so that I could maybe get it repaired and seek my money or compensation for the damaged disks that their machine destroyed. The manager tells me the same thing that the Tier 1 tells me and that is basically they wont gice me replacement games and they will not repair my box unless I pay them $100.00. So minus the frustration of all this they have now cost me $400.00 for the box (what I paid for it when new) $50.00 for the controller that i bought 6 months ago, about $1500.00 for the Games that I have purchase that are no longer usable because if I do use them they wuill end up scratched, the $8.00 a month fee for about 5 years worth of XBOX live, and recently 140.00 more for the damage to MW3 and Battlefield 3 and “all I am allowed to do” is talk to is a customer service rep who reads some policy that someone else wrote and said not give anything to the customer reguardless of fair or fault unless it costs microsoft $0.00. These people are really messing with the wrong community. They will be lucky if some witted enraged teenager doesn’t pull some Column Bind style event (hypothetical, not suggestive or threatening) and decide to hold it at the Microsoft headquarters after all unreasonable resolve spawns unreasonable action. Why not be intelligent about this and remember that if Microsoft would do there part(maintainance) the gamers would definately do their’s($$$), hell they do it anyway. I guess what I am trying to say is yeah, if you get a suit going I’ll join you and I will ironically use XBOX Live to get all my friends to join the suit if we need more. I think I know about 100 people that have or have had unresolved problems with these people. And for all you people who get on here and say leave microsoft and Xbox alone when you become old enough to get a job and have to spend your own money while making house payments and feeding children and car payments and utilities (which by the way is not just an icon on your iPHONE), and or purchase certain ratings for games without mommy and daddy there with you, then and only then will your opinion be valued and or talorated

As I have previously stated in my replies, I tried to get a lawsuit going. No one was willing to do it. Seems lawyers think it would not be profitable enough.

Take it to small claims court and you’ll win.

Im planning on suing microsoft because of their fraudulent activity against my credit card. Im not going to go into further details due to its an ongoing occurance. What i will say is if a credit card on file has expired and the owner hasn’t updated that info it doesn’t give Microsoft or any company permission to still charge that card.

Yep, small claims is likely the only way to get anything out of Microcrap.
