So why does it seem, that no matter how badly your 360 gets messed up (Other than the RRoD), it always costs $99 to repair it?
First mine was starting to overheat many times(2 Red lights), it stopped for a while.
Then the disk tray wouldn't open, luckily that was fixed by some random guy in a Call of Duty lobby.
After that, it straight up red ringed (3), and that's when I should've shipped it off for Microsoft to send me another going-to-break-in-two-weeks 60.
Stopped doing that and now, get this...
the part that reads memory of my hard drive, and probably memory cards? That's the part that's messed up.
I didn't even know that was possible until today! So of course, I kept a cool head for a record ten minutes, went through my third MS drone, and she tells me in her cool monotone English voice "Sir, that would cost you $99, BUT, everything is included!"
In other words, I get a sweet box, that I already have, to ship it off to them even though it should be free.
Because think about it, overheating your 360? Usually the consumer's fault, too much gaming will fry your system of course but the part that reads memory?
Really? $99?
I don't know much about the 360's specs, but should it really cost as much as another hard drive (Which is also grossingly overpriced) to replace/fix/throw out and replace?
Thanks alot Microsoft, for making a system that not only scratches at least three quarters of my disks, but a system that has broken at least once for 75% of the people I know.
If not for my Rock Band 1 instruments, a PS3 would not be looking so bad right now.
