MS Responds To 360 Glitches

Posted by Zonk on from the give-me-some-love dept.

Chris_Yates writes "Microsoft has responded to the complaints of angry gamers popping up on the internet. As expected, they claim it is a very small percentage of Xbox 360 owners that are experiencing a problem. The main question remains, though, what kind of support will those unfortunate few receive? Molly O'Donnell says, 'It's unfortunate and it's important that we get working consoles for those few people who are having problems. We want to get them playing and happy and buying games!' An ABC article states: 'They'll be playing again in three to five days...'"

    Let me get this straight. People paid like 300 bucks for a 360, and they don't even work right sometimes? Its seems like they were just trying to be the first next generation console out even if it was unfinished.

    Can't help but laugh at the people who stood in line, paid 3-5 times the retail price on ebay or otherwise made a joke out of themselves to be the first on the block to own the overhyped playstation copy - only to be told that "They'll be playing again in three to five days..." - probably after some of their friends who were a little more sane.

    Well, they've got their priorities straight. At least they're honest ;)
