News \ Microsoft shell out max cash to fix xbox 360!

Over a year ago, Microsoft released it’s Xbox 360 and the people rejoiced. The controller is sleek and comfortable, the design is delicious, Sci-Fi goodness, and the games looked better than real life.

The problem, of course, was that the Xbox didn’t really work. At least, not for a very long time. Between a fan that sounds like a seizuring tractor and inner workings that heat up to degrees hotter than all the fires of hell — the Xbox 360 had some problems.

And now, Microsoft is spending 1 billion dollars fixing them.



The circle of death — or, as Microsoft calls it, the circle that cost us one billion dollars.

That’s right, for roughly the same sum of money that it would take to feed a starving country, Microsoft is fixing the shoddiest workmanship to ever shoddy its way into the market.

"We don’t think we’ve been getting the job done," said Robbie Bach, president of Microsoft’s entertainment and devices division and the man most likely to blame for your Xbox 360 exploding, "In the past few months, we have been having to make Xbox 360 console repairs at a rate too high for our liking."

How high, you wonder? In June, bloggers were speculating that Xbox 360 return problems were so serious that the company was running out of the special return-shipping boxes that it provides to gamers with dead consoles.

Let us repeat that for you, to put it in perspective — the Xbox 360 is so poorly made, Microsoft, one of the biggest, richest companies in the world, ran out of boxes to ship the broken ones in (the boxes, of course, also experienced serious overheating problems.)

In order to appease gamers, Microsoft did do something right — extending the warranty to 3 years, up from the original six months, that later became one year. In other words, your Xbox 360 is guaranteed to last until the next shoddy Microsoft gaming system hits the market.

The new Xbox 360s will ship soon — ripe with new and exciting things wrong with them. We can’t wait.

I like your plan Cherrona, but lets use something more painful garden scissors anyone?

On the topic of 360, like i said, i dont entirely hate it, but there isnt enough games to my liking that are coming out and as far as 360 games go, i honestly dont think any 360 game will pull me off Dead Rising, that is the one game thats making me play my 360

I also recently played Tenchu Z on 360.....and well lets just say that, Tenchu Z will most likely be the last for the franchise due to how s**t it turned out, RIP for what was once a fine series

I will always stick with PS3 for simple reason that it already has made enormous name for itself with previous consoles & plus it has all the franchises, MGS, Final Fantasy, Res Evil, Tekken, Gran Turismo,Time Crisis, Devil May Cry, and these games will always be on a sony console. I wouldve bought a PS3 for Tekken 6 alone, seriously

Yeah man I understand where you coming from. There is just no comparison between the PS3 and Wii in visuals and to me I like games that look good to be honest! I still have my Wii haven't used it in months! I was initially excited when it first came out but within a week or two the novelty wore off and my interest in the PS3 increased immensely! Game titles were also another thing which the Wii just didn't have the titles to keep me interested!

actually your dead on there, people do assume that is broken before they even open the box, just last week EB Australia had to remove all premium Xbox 360's from its stores due to fatly hard drives in the latest Bach of consoles. And that’s before people even turned them on.

ring of death warranty doesn't fix the issue of everything else that goes wrong with this hunk of steamy turd. my cd tray doesn't open or close properly, the sync button for the controllers has gone somewhere inside the console, lost never to be found again. (and this isn't due to physical abuse - its been in the same spot its always been since it left the box) its as loud as a 747 taking off but i guess you cant blame that one hardware failure (or can i??). if they didn't use shoddy components/hardware in the first place......

I returned my 360 for repairs 3 times and microsoft STILL didnt fix it properly!

Iddqd i dont think anyone is stupid enough to want there xbox 360's to break just so they can laugh at it, not unless they have plenty of money to burn that is. Busy looking for faults? looking? No need to look, they find us when we turn the console on, we dont find them. Noone ignores the good points, Microsoft has great Xbox live and some awesome games *DOA4, Dead Rising, GOW, my faves* I'm sure their has been plenty of times when you've made fun of Sony, *Did that make you feel special?*

Secondly, dont be calling other users names just because they diss what is quite frankly in this moment and time, a joke of a console, im not being a fanboy here, but this is embarrassing iddqd, even you should be admitting that. Your free to your opinion iddqd, but leave the name calling out of it man.

I haven't had any issues with mine at all either, and I've had it from day one as well. People just like to create negativity around Microsoft for the pure hell of it. They want their consoles to break down, just so they can complain about it. Same goes with Vista, they're so busy looking for faults, some that don't even exist, that they ignore the good points and just poke fun at Microsoft... I'm guessing it's just to make themselves feel special.

So umm....do you buy one 360, then it breaks and then you return it and then wait for a new come to come in 1 month, then it breaks again and then you will have to send it back. The cycle goes like this:

1. Xbox 360 works for 2 weeks
2. Breaks down
3. Waits 1 month for a replacement
4. Repeat all steps again

It's like maths! You'll end up with this equation:
44 ---> 1
365 ---> X

Where X is the number of Xboxes you will get in one year
