This is what they did they wrote an email to the people that I bought my xbox 360 from and told them about them seling me a damaged xbox 360 off ebay. I bought it in feburary of 08 . I spent 44.00 on it plus 25 bucks for a controller

My parents used to chain me in the basement and beat me.


Perspective, my good man, perspective.

Can I vote this be moved to INH?

Dude, are you really surprised that an Xbox 360 you got on eBay for less than $50 is.... broken?

Price never lies, fella.

I dont understand what the big deal is?



Or why this warranted a topic... >.>

i read that as $440 till LMs post corrected that.

Um why are your parents writing email for you?

BUT I'll try to help you out for what its worth... MS has a 3 yr warranty on the 360s, try them.

Buck up, little camper. Somewhere there is a facility you can go to, and never see the light of day again.

jokes aside - yeah you've lost out with the ebay side of it (what can you expect for that money?) but get your parents to send an email to microsoft's xbox customer service dudes asking if it's still covered by any kind of warranty - i did with a broken ps2 (i had bought it new but w/e it was YEARS old) and they said they'd fix it for like £30 or something (not much)

worth trying dude

I thought Bumblemus was 35...

in that case dude needs to change his passwords!

He's leaving out the part where he says he sent it back to Microsoft to get it fixed. Therefore, he techincally got a 'refurbished' XBox 360

lol, guess so

That's what makes him so entertaining.

plus his writing style is

I saw nothing but shit in that first post...

office we passed on the way here.


Oh wait, this isn't the "continue the sentence" thread from INH...

except that by convenience, I.S.T.s mum was passing by, so it morphed into that thread.

Of course, I had forgotten what we had started talking about, so...

I started telling a story about how some mooks sent me an e-mail about how their adult son was crying that I sold him a busted X-box.

What I didn't tell them is that I spent the money on...

new mother jailbait.

Of course, it didn't help that this mother, the mother of Bumblemuss, was in fact...

wait... does it really have to be worse than that?


I mean, come on...

wait thats it? I want to know details or did we scare him off?

maybe he's grounded...

he's too busy at his job as a greeter for Costco.

I did send it to Microsoft and they sent my xbox 360 back to me telling me they couldnt repair it because it was damaged

I dont work for costco

i don't work for costco either (what a small world we live in!)

Lesson learned, I guess.

I'm sure their excuse for not fixing it had more to do with you not having a warantee than it did with them just saying "it's broken." As a whole legion of people who had RRoD will attest that microsoft did help them.

they said that it was damaged and it didnt cover their warrenty sence I bought it off ebay

thank you for translating what I said to redundat talk.

okay - call them from a different address & say it was bought for you by your deceased grandma and you don't know when or where she purchased it - tell them not to be so insensitive if they question it

yeah that's right - LIE

honesty gets you NOWHERE!!!

I know I would have never been laid if I was honest.


Hey, what's yo-

I LIKE YOUR BOOBIES AND WANT TO BE IN YOU!!
