Ok, heres the story. I was playing my xbox one day and I got 3 red lights on the ring. I figured my xbox was broke and decided to call microsoft. They said that my xbox was indeed broke and that they would send me a box.

Five days later, a five days without Halo 2, I hear a vehicle stop outside my house (I live in Alaska, so you know when a vehicle is at your house). I run upstairs to the front door, and there on my porch is the box. Overwhelmed with excitement, I take it inside and set it in my basement.

At this time I was ready for a match of Halo 2. However, after setting the box down and running to turn my xbox on, I noticed it still did not work. I would have expected more from the likes of microsoft, and here I am with an empty box and a broken console. This kind of service is unnacceptable and I can only hope microsoft can come up with something better.

Hmm, I believe you're supposed to ship your broken Xbox in the box they shipped to you, unless I misunderstand what you're saying.

Cry me a river, dude. I'm on my 3rd box.

...and this really doesn't belong here.

Locked for being offtopic.

See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907534.

If you are unhappy with the support you got, call them back.

The fact is that the Xbox is hardware, and hardware eventually breaks. The failure rate is much lower than most equivalent electronics (despite what forum trolls say). That being said, demand proper support from the proper channels (that's not here).

I am...whimsical today.

If this isn't a joke: If Microsoft sent you an empty box, then it is to put the broken XBox in to send to them, so they will fix it. They need proof that is is broken before they send you a spanking new one.

If this is a joke: Not bad :)
