I havnt seen anything on this site about how microsoft is fucking people over with their Xbox system. I own an xbox and i like it, but lately its been fucking up. I got it 6 months ago and its already broken. After talking to numerous other people and checking forums i discovered its happened to ALOT of people. So i decided to find out what i can do about it. Microsoft gave me one option. Send it in and pay 100+ dollars to get it fixed. When all they have to do is clean the lens in their piece of crap xbox. I dunno what to think, there are tons of different problems with this xbox system... So i gotta say that microsoft is fucking people over on all fronts.......software AND videogames... FUCK MICROSOFT they fucked me over.

Why is the lens dirty? It sounds like it was your fault.

I certainly hope that the store provided some sort of warranty on that past the normal 90-days-so-we-can-cover-our-ass policy.  If they did, all you have to do is take it in and say "it's defective, either fix it or give me one that works."  It sounds audacious, but it works; especially if you DON'T bring up the details of the problem.  Trust me - the less service knows, the better.    ;)  

On the other hand, if you have the gall to try it yourself (and void any warranties you may have in the process), let me know - I can walk you step-by-step through the process.  A friend of mine gave me a repair guide a while back.  The bottom line is that it's fairly straightforward; just don't.  Lose.  ANYTHING.  ESPECIALLY the case screws.

the lens isnt dirty...thats what m$ has told people the problem could be, but i dont beleive that shit. They also told me it could be overheadted.....i highly doubt that aswell....The problem with my xbox orginated from xboxlive....a certain game i had would freeze when i go onto xbox live, then just recently it started not working, the whole machine....and its happened to countless others....now if u bought a computer and it stopped working 3-6 months later (m$ warranty void after 3) would u pay 70% of the price u paid to get it fixed, or would u buy a new one
