Customer Loses Xbox 360 Artwork During Repair

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the customer-disservice dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Consumerist is reporting that one unlucky individual had to send his Xbox 360 in for repairs. The catch is he had spent a great deal of time getting signatures and artwork on the outside of the console from notable members of the gaming industry. He specifically asked and even sent a letter along with his console requesting that the outside of the case be returned intact. When he got it back it was once again, plain white. Assuming that this is a genuine claim, regardless of the circumstances surrounding the missing/cleaned case Microsoft should at least apologize to the guy."

    The "notable members of the gaming industry" presumably have a guaranteed maximum lifespan as well (medical advances not withstanding).

    Besides, haven't polaroid stopped selling their instant cameras/film now?

    It would be better if Sony jumped on this and gave him a PS3, signed by Bono, The Pope, and bunch of other A-List celebrities. That's called a PR coup.
