Xbox 360 Thread - part 6
Summary - I sent in my console to be fixed. was told i'd get special treatment, was happy. Was just told they lied. They sent me Viva Pinata to make up for the lies. Down to 13 business days until i "should" get my console back.... let's see how they do.

They don't have a 360. This will torture them.

I knew you had it, but I was just thinking hypothetically, it could me amusing to gauge their reaction
but I suppose if they let you choose from 4 games, that kinda makes my point moot

Sounds like you are excited to teach your nephews about the wonderful world of ambiguous incestual sex, cannibalism, and profiteering off selling children.

I don't know if this has been posted in the old thread, in addition to Super contra, and wing commander added to live they dropped an extra 18 holes for 3d ultra minigolf. They do cost five bucks , and they are very hard compared to the original 36 holes it's totally worth it since it's the only game my girlfriend will play with me.

The choices were:
Kameo, PGR3, VP, and something else I don't remember but probably PD0 or fuzion frenzy 2

I got Pacman: CE today and was able to get 177100 by my third game. I don't know if that's good or bad. Any advice?

Not only will L&O not get the free game, but he will end up having another problem with his 360 requiring him to send it back in.... if not immediately, then within say 90 days.... *jinx* *jinx* *jinx*...... *does a jinx dance* *jinx* *jinx* *jinx*

The supervisor that I spoke to tried to confirm a few things. I asked him why it is taking so long and he said it is because they are adding new heat sinks to the 360's which is taking extra time and some are even getting new motherboards. He said that this info was on xbox.com - I asked him to point out exactly where it states that.....he couldn't, but said he received a bulletin from M$ that this is what is causing the service delays and will be posted on xbox.com soon.
I don't know it that's BS or not, but I was surprised that a call center guy would go into that kind of detail.
July 5th - ROD
July 10th - Received Coffin
July 11th - Coffin shipped to M$
July 16th - 360 arrives at Service Center

I did get a free wireless controller with my SECOND time I sent in, so I guess my third time = nothing. Also, EVERYONE supposedly gets 1 month of LIVE free with this also.
