Quả thật unlucky!
For those of you who've never experienced an RROD, consider yourselves lucky. Those of you who have, and *haven't* had the pleasure of dealing with Microsoft's extended warranty, consider yourself even luckier.
Having gone through four 360's since launch, all replaced under the wondrous Microsoft extended warranty, I'm not even considering buy a Microsoft-branded console next go-round.
My launch 360 locked up every single time I tried to play PGR3 online; everything else worked fine. I called MS, waited for the coffin & received a replacement in less than two weeks.
That 360 died after the second dashboard update (the infamous Fall Brick Update of '06). Microsoft replaced that one in about a month.
Replacement #2 died after the Spring '07 dash update. That one took two months to replace.
Replacement #3, also delivered two months later, was DOA from the service center. Microsoft replaced the motherboard, which screwed with the lovely DRM scheme even more.
That final replacement, knock wood, has been working for almost a year and a half now.
Based on my experiences with their customer service (initially in US & Canada, then wholly outsourced to India), their replacement "Dead Pool", their outright lying to consumers, and refusal to provide anything remotely resembling adequate compensation (1 month of Live is *not* adequate) for the months without hardware and DRM-locked content, I won't be buying the next M$ console.
It really is M$, because their only concern was cutting as many corners as possible to beat Sony and make a few bucks. Unfortunately, there are enough sheeple still supporting them to keep them afloat this go-round. It'll be interesting to see how things turn out next round. Some assumed that Sony would continue their reign, Microsoft would be in second, and Nintendo would be the also-ran; we all know that things didn't quite work out that way.
I used to be a Microsoft fanboy, but between the neutered (diskless), defective and DRM-ridden 360 and the slovenly Windows Vista, I've already started moving my family to other OSes and consoles. We own all three & probably put more time on the PS3 than we do the 360 or Wii. We're back on XP and Ubuntu & will be moving to Macs next spring. So much for cutting corners, eh Microsoft? How's that working for ya?
