            take it back to where it was purchased.. I see no reason why they wont swap it out or refund the money.. unless you got it at a swap meat or flea market.

              Easier said then done...

              My mother bought it for me, I live in Cali and she lives in Canada..

              No it was NOT USED brand new in the box.....

              and apparently the warrenty goes by the date on the bottom of the box (the date it was built) in my case it was 2002-06-15

              So now I have a choice, pay to ship it back and maybe the store the store will replace, then pay to have it shipped BACK down here....

              or pay the $99.99 plus S/H to Microsoft....

              you know with this kind of shit and thier new software licensing
              system Microsoft is going to hell.... hope they burn there....


              oh and p1mpdogg

              . unless you got it at a swap meat or flea market.
              read my signature... do you really think I shop at flea markets....

                You could try just bringing it to Best Buy or wherever. Tell them it was a gift, you don't have the receipt, but that it's broken and you just want to exchange it. Wal-Mart takes anything back and so will Target so try them if Best Buy won't do it.

                    Actually I don't think they would do anything with out the receipt,

                    but if I bought one....... took the broken one back in its place..... got a replacment.... then returned that one ........

                    Doesn't hurt the store, and Microsoft gets thier broken piece of shit back.......

                    hmmmmmm...........

                    Thanks for the idea....

                            So, you come on here to bitch about $99 but take the time to make sure we all know how hardcore rich you are. Why don't you drive your Viper to Best Buy and get one that works?

                              Wait, let me guess. It's the principle. If you have money falling out of your ass in big wads, I think you can take a small hit to your principles on this one.

                                    Mike,

                                    After Christmas is the easiest time to return stuff. Just take is to Best Buy or Wal-Mart or somewhere and tell them it was a gift and does not work. Wal-Mart is super easy to take stuff back, Best Buy is not so easy but you should not have a problem.

                                      I'm with SpaceAce in this case.

                                      When you buy something, you keep the receipt and returns the thing if there's problem. END OF STORY.

                                      Microsoft/Xbox or whatever product can't be perfect when it comes from mass production lines. So if you are not happy, shut up and don't buy the fucking thing.

                                      Childish.

                                        I understand what Mike is saying. It's not the money, it's the fact it was a gift from his mother. Now with it not working it is going to be a big hassle for him.

                                                Mike,

                                                You need to be smarter then THE MAN my friend!

                                                Here is what you do. One you take it back to any store in the local area and say that it was a present and the person who gave it to you bought it there. Best options are: Costco, WalMart, Target, Best Buy. Tell them you simply wish to exchange it for a new one since this one doesn't work. You will not even catch a dime of shit from any of those places. No matter where it came from.

                                                  but if I bought one....... took the broken one back in its place..... got a replacment.... then returned that one ........

                                                  Doesn't hurt the store, and Microsoft gets thier broken piece of shit back.......

                                                  hmmmmmm...........

                                                  Thanks for the idea....


                                                  (its not the money, its the principle......)

                                                  This won't work cause they have gotten smart to that idea and put matching serial numbers on the box and machine. Trust me and Twisty. Target, Walmart, Costco (they take everything back), and Best Buy is pretty good too. Most of these places will do it fast today too cause they are just trying to get people moved through the lines today

                                                      Exactly, most likely they will hold your broken one, while you run back to get a new one, then let you walk right out, without even doing any paperwork.....They don't give a rats ass, it will just get sent back to MS anyway

                                                        It was more bitching about new Microsoft policies ...

                                                        There new software licencing is screwing everyone into spending
                                                        big bucks to try and keep up to date on software, most people
                                                        need to upgrade just because of bugs in the software.

                                                        Now it goes into hardware as well, when the hell have you heard of a 90 day warrenty from the DATE IT WAS BUILT??

                                                            Buy a new one, and then switch them and take it back saying you wanted a playstation instead. Problem solved.

                                                              So, the other day after landing in on my newest leer jets, I hopped into my limo but had to get out because I hopped into the wrong one.

                                                              Anyways, I then had the driver go to the wrong fucking estate.

                                                              Man, what a fucked up day that was.

                                                              Of course the above is simply fiction I put all my money away for my kids so they will never have to work. Best gift I could ever give them.

                                                              Happy Holidays, Still

                                                                                Here's the facts:
                                                                                A) Counting warrantee from the date on the box is stupid. Microsoft sucks.

                                                                                B) You acted like an asshole when someone posted a simple suggestion. He said "unless you bought it at a swap meet or flea market". YOU had to quote that part and make sure we all know you're wealthy. What the other pserson said had NOTHING to do with that. You _only_ did that to brag about your money, so stop whining because I called you on it. I'm sorry if you have confidence issues but being a ca$h money hustler doesn't make you immune to ridicule OR getting defective products. A lot of people have been fucked by companies in the past. You happen to be in a position where it doesn't really hurt you, so stop crying.
