Xbox360 Defects and Crashes Reported;
Microsoft Tries to Fix Problems
Reports about various problems gamers have been experiencing have
begun to surface. Everything from game crashes to dysfunctional or
dead hard drives have been reported. This has some gamers pretty
ticked off, especially after standing overnight in long lines to
receive the console.
Well, gamers, help is on the way. "We have received some isolated
reports and calls of consoles not operating as expected. The call
rate is well below what youd expect of a consumer electronics
product of this complexity," Molly ODonnell, Senior Manager fo
Global Xbox 360 Public Relations, commented.
Microsoft has set to redeem themselves by setting up a toll-free
line where gamers can call to receive repairs or replacements on
their Xbox 360. By calling 1-800-4MY-XBOX, players can have a
prepaid shipping box overnighted to them. A fixed or replaced Xbox
360 will arrive five business days after they receive your
defective Xbox.
"The most important thing to note here is that the vast majority of
Xbox 360 owners are having an outstanding experience with their new
systems," she concluded.
Erm Xbox360 so many problems think I am
going to get a PS3 instead
