4-6 week turnaround time?  And you\'re still paying for a Live! subscription?  Oh, and you get different, older consoles, when they "repair" it?  What a collector\'s nightmare!

Woo, my Xbox just died. Thank you Microsoft for not rushing a piece of shit hardware design on the market.

Same thing happened to me. Took them 3 weeks and I ended up getting a different, used XBOX.

I\'m on my third replaced console.

When I first purchased mine it was dead out of the box :(. It\'s been good ever since though.

You actually get a month added to your Live account when you send in your 360.

But yea, it\'s good that they are starting to fix the console, but they are taking too long in doing so. Rushing into the market was both beneficial and problematic for them.

I\'m on my third 360 right now, but, with the fact that I was refunded over 15,000 msfun bux and they fixed the licensing DLC issues, I\'m fine with all that.

Mine has not died, but then again, I rarely play it anymore. On the other hand, my Microsoft Zune did die after just three months of use. I am having to wait on them to UPS me a box , so that I can send that back in for "repairs" (also known as , "replacement").  I find it very concerning that MS had these problems with the Xbox, the 360 and now, judging by the Zune forums, they are also having hardware quality issues with the Zune.

I guess when you make shitty software you\'re bound to make shitty hardware as well. A shame though.

I don\'t really know where to post this, so I\'ll just assume this is the "main" 360 thread.

Complete Resident Evil 5 trailer up on Live. Should be up on PSN later today.

It is glorious, guys.

RE5 looks great...it looks like an enhanced version of RE4, which is a good thing, alot of these next-gen games are doin\' some brilliant things with the lighting effects and i like how RE5 is using that in the way how the main character goes into a pitch black shack with streaks of sunlight beaming through the roof then the transition between going in and outside, in any case they\'re agenda with how they\'re using lighting is coming along well. I heard the next silent hill wanted to use sunlight in their next game as well for atmosphere.....maybe it\'ll work, but i just hope they don\'t turn it into an action fest, as silent hill games where never really about action...i do think they could improve the combat a bit to make it more realistic, but i don\'t want to see the main character suplexin\' monsters or back kickin\' zombie nurses...

Small update, I mailed my Zune back and within two hours of them recieving it they sent me a replacement zune. The whole process took around two weeks..  Part of me is glad for the quick turn around, the other is dissapointed they didn\'t even try to fix it and save all my data.

It must be a real pain in the ass to have to put all your music and stuff back on. That\'s why I try not to buy hardware from microsoft. There are better quality out there for the same price. I\'m very happy with my Creative Zen. Wish I could put pictures on it but then again I should have bought the photo version. If you ever decide to stray from Microsoft, I\'d recommend Creative. Though my next mp3 player is more than likely gonna be an iPod.

I like my Zune, just can\'t believe they mailed me a new one instead of trying to fix it. I checked my e-mail, I received one at around 5:00 Pm saying they had received my unit and by 7:00 pm, I received another saying it had been repaired and mailed back to me.  Received the unit today with a note saying they just mailed me a new one instead...I had about 15 gigs of music, porn and pictures on there.

Heh, porn? Like taking that stuff on the go to have a quickie in a public restroom or does your wife check your computer for it?

No and no.

I have around 80 gigs of porn right now, but I have certain select files I put on the Zune. I then take the Zune to work and watch porn at work , or at least that\'s what I do when I work nights. It beats carrying a laptop into work.

:laughing: What exactly do you do? I\'d get fired in a second at work if I did that. Then again, I work around people.

Doesn\'t care, why would she? We\'re both grown adults.

And Titan, I work night shift a lot of time, no one really cares what I do as long as my job gets done.

Because you\'re looking at other women other than your own and violating the sacredness of what marriage represents. You\'re looking to other places for pleasure other than your wife. Grow up.

Bit close minded, are we? There is nothing violating our marriage. She looks at porn also - does it bother me? No, not in the least. As long as neither of us cheats, this is not a problem. And you\'re obviously not married, otherwise you would note that you can\'t always look for pleasure from your wife, espically once you have two kids.

May I recommend that you "grow up", before you attack and judge someone over something that does not even involve you? If my wife had a problem with it, then I\'d have a problem with it. As it is though, she doesn\'t.

And it should be noted, that porn watched together can be turn into some great sex. Two adults doing something they enjoy.

Nice personal attack out of nowhere though. I appreciate that.

I was going to get married quite soon until my fiance cheated on me. Don\'t make assumptions, dipshit.

Also, if you both don\'t have a problem, then you\'re both nuts. ;)


And I have very different views than you regarding faithfulness. And I will never agree with you in regards to porn. Continue on. I\'m not trying to change you. I\'m just a little pissed off, as you can tell.

You\'re the one who made assumptions and personal attacks first. You have different views, fine, but you came right out of the gate making a personal attack on me, for no reason what so ever.

I apologize.

But that\'s not what happened. I\'m actually quite happy to have escaped from the bullshit. She actually turned out to be a lying, manipulative person that actually enjoys "pretending" to be a certain way in order to manipulate and make you believe anything. I don\'t even know her. I loved who I thought she was. Who she is, quite frankly, scares me.

If I had done it right? There\'s nothing I could\'ve done. She is who she is and who she is...well it\'s not a good thing. I\'m really glad I didn\'t end up getting married only to discover she was a manipulative, selfish bitch later on.

And I hope you and your wife have a great marriage. And I mean that honestly. You\'ve got beautiful kids.

And I\'m already starting to see this other girl. And she\'s great. :)

Even when I had a girlfriend, I looked at porn. I always followed the look but don\'t touch policy. I never vocally said what I would do to the girl though, lol. As long as I stay faithful to my girl, what harm can it do? I actually think its healthy to think about other girls, as long as I don\'t do anything. I find just fantasizing about one girl to get a bit boring. Though I\'m the kind of person who likes variety in life.

You\'ll note that I removed that comment, it was uncalled for and I shouldn\'t of said it. That I apologize for, I was just reacting towards the pesonal attack that came out of nowhere.

With that said, I think most of us have been cheated on at one time or another. It sucks, I know, but you still can\'t go through life thinking everyone needs to grow up or are perverts for doing certain things.

Looking at porn with your spouse isn\'t for everyone. It\'s like taking a girl to a strip-club, if you can find someone who is into that, then great. I made it clear to my wife that when we first met that I would always be the kind that looks but didn\'t touch and she was fine with that.

Good luck with the new girlfriend.
