Customer Loses Xbox 360 Artwork During Repair
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."
This story was on Digg yesterday and was the final straw in me giving up with that stinking cesspool of a site and deleting the bookmark. This is such a non-story. Does he honestly believe that those who refurbish these things will read letters etc...? It's no doubt a production line type affair, and anyone but this whiny little bitch would say "Wow, they cleaned it as well. Excellent service!" But no, this pissy little bitch had his stupid vandalised console (some of which was derogatory about the 360) cleaned and sees fit to whine and blog about it looking for a free handout from Microsoft.
Get over yourself. I wonder if this guy had a plaster over a broken leg and had it signed if he'd be blogging about how the big nasty doctor removed it?
And sorry, there ARE no notable members of the gaming community outside of Sid Meier, Will Wright and, possibly, Gabe Newell.
It's an electrical device that'll be in the garbage in five years. It's not an autograph book. Honestly, this is one of the most asinine and pathetic "Wah wah, look at me, I've been wronged" stories I've ever read, and that category has a LOT of competition. Honestly, it's times like this I want to be able to reach through the screen, grab this whiny little bitch and shake them violently until they shut the fuck up.
I realise this is going to be modded down as a troll, and I really don't give a shit. Bullshit stories like this make me fucking angry. I hope if he has to send his console back, they piss all over it before sending it back to the ungrateful little shit.
rule number one, assume everyone is a fucking retard. this guy set himself up for an epic fail letting this thing out of his sight. He needs to have a big cup of harden the fuck up and realise his precious signatures are gone, and get on with life.
If you mod me down, I will become more powerful than you can imagine....
LOL! It's just another in the endless stream of attention seeking crybaby malcontents whining about how they've been wronged in some fashion. Christ, I WISH the biggest thing I had to worry about was a clean Xbox 360! I have rent that's spiraling out of control and I can barely afford it, health issues etc... "Wah, wah, someone wiped some ink of my Xbox." Shut the fuck up and get some perspective.:)
And my earlier post is modded as a troll now. HURRAH! You mods are so predictable.
Why couldn't the cocksucker just keep the 'novel' xbox in a broken state, and buy an ordinary to play with? - Fucking idiot..
A horse can't be sick, you know, even if he wants to.
but is this really newsworthy?
I mean come on, it's a broken 360, like the plebs in the service centre REALLY give a shit about his signatures.
For goodness sakes, it's some scribble on the side of a piece of hardware?
News for nerds, stuff that matters? Yeah I'll sook like a mother2#%er when my 360 dies too but I won't cry over dopey signatures.
And while I wouldn't call your earlier post a troll, it most certainly was unnecessarily harsh, so I'm not going to say that you were modded unjustly. Now, your post right here... that's a troll, and you have definitely been justly modded so.
