silver360..if you want to know, this actually did happen to me. Get off your horse and recognize that maybe, just maybe, microsoft, the xbox and windows aren't perfect. And that they push money around to abuse consumers. System shock, isn't it?
its true. happened to me.
regardless, everyone can gripe and complain that these stories are just flamebait, but at the end of the day, the author is still getting the traffic he wants and we're all still commenting. Does that make it worthless story to the writer?
and if you want to know, i'm friends with the pr rep from australia for microsoft. and you know where that got me? I got an offer from microsoft for 50% off my repairs. Get over yourself and your shortsightedness.
