Technology and Games

Repairing my Xbox 360 at home was easier and quicker than I could have imagined. When the Red Ring of Death first appeared I did what most gamers do. I cursed. I screamed. I stomped around the house wanting to break something. Game consoles never break after you have gained the level, or completed the impossible sequence, or Lord forbid, beaten the game. No, consoles break down in the middle of the toughest sequence, just as you were about to conquer it. The frustration is enough to make you want to strangle something.

Then came the call to Microsoft. After patiently answering all of the tech’s questions (though I wanted to shout, I didn’t) he informed me that the Red Ring of Death is a known fault, and the fix is easy. All I had to do was wait for him to send me a mailing package, pack up my console and send it to the service center. They would fix it and mail it back to me in just a few weeks.

As an avid gamer, I must admit that I love the Xbox 360. Many of you may agree. When the system first came out it boasted incredible graphics, wireless connectivity and a super charged Xbox LIVE. But along with the system, came it’s problems. There are many system errors associated with the Xbox 360. Some of these include but are not limited to, the red ring of death, disc reading errors, and system overheating. At first, users solved these problems by acquiring brand new systems, but now there are easier and faster solutions that do not even require you to abandon your trouble infested console.

So Xbox 360 is not working, warranty still stands. Sure I decided to give it to warranty service. After I gave it there, I thougt it wouldn’t be big problem to get xbox fixed soon. But, I was wrong. It was 2nd week after time I gave Xbox to fix. Long time to fix quite simple problem, but it wasn’t the end of this. I was asked to pay 100$ for fixing. It isn’t fair enough, but this problem as later service man explained, isn’t included in warranty terms. So I constrained to pay. However, after two weeks Xbox 360 came back to home. My brother was really happy, I was happy too.

Few weeks ago I came back to home and my little brother barraged me that I didn’t fixed his Xbox. I asked why he thinks so and he explained that the Xbox is not working again. I felt screwed and imediatly jumped in my car and drove directly to that service. I explained them that I got the same error again and want that they will fix it for free.
