Xbox Evolved reports: "Microsoft support now gives you a 3-5 business day timeline to receive your shipping box, typically receiving it by the third day depending on where you are in the United States. Originally and as late as January of this year, the process took 5-10 business days at least. Now, Microsoft gives you an actual timeframe of when you will get the Xbox 360 back from repairs also, admits they may have to completely replace the unit, and even mention that if there is any "special markings" on the outside of your Xbox 360 to protect it with a cover or notify support first."
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
To celebrate Tomb Raider: Legend's 20th anniversary, the official channels have shared an early in-development gameplay demo.
Thank god they caught up...considering how streamlined the breaking process was.
Yeah I concur.
being out for years now that the price of actually making one has significantly reduced. It would almost seem more beneficial for Microsoft to just send consumers a new one instead of paying someone to fix it.
Chances are they have to replace the motherboard if it warps or cracks anyways. Same goes for the GPU if it damaged by heat. They could waste time and money disasembling one and it cant be fixed.
It would most likely lead to more customer appreciation because of the prompt turnaround time. Perhaps that is what they are doing because the redesign has taken effect, which has led to less hardware failure.
well thats interesting
that everyone is happy with this, but honestly it shouldn't have happened in the first place.
They only got used to fixing their mistake.
