Need a XBOX 360 Receipt - ($$$) - GoFuckYourself.com

emthree · 10-09-2006, 01:53 PM

Well, my XBOX360 decided to crap out on me. It's one of those known problems, screen freezing and now a consistant solid 3 redlights. I called up for warranty information, and they're trying to tell me that my warranty has expired. They want to charge me for the repairs, and I simply don't feel like wasting money to repair something that was faulty to begin with.

I need someone to scan a legit copy of their receipt for me, so I can photoshop my serial / purchase date onto it. This is the only way they will honor the warranty and fix the box. I'm willing to paypal you a few bucks for the receipt copy. ($10 or so?) It will save me a lot of trouble.

Thanks.

i have an xbox 360 but i lost the receipt

Or if you want to make the scam a whole lot easier since after all it seems ok to you.

Go to your local wal mart and buy a new xbox. Take it home and swap the outer shell. Since they may check serial number on the bottom or wherever.
Package up the old but now new xbox and return it.

At least that way you are ripping off two major corporations instead of just one.

take it to wallmart and tell them you lost the reciept or got it as a gift they will exchange it

(at least they do here) no reciept = exchange or moneyorder sent by mail

nice idea!

After Shock Media: I don't know about you buddy, but I don't plan on spending $200 to get a 360 repaired that was faulty to begin with. It's a common problem. If it was my fault, I would have no issue paying for the repairs / buying a new one.

My version of your scam gets you your money back, you only loan wal mart the money for a few hours.

That's a rareity over here.

Call them back and you will more then likely talk to someone different that might honor it. Mr. Pheer just sent one back that he bought the first day if I remember right. You should be fine.

don't think of it as a scam.....you are helping wallmart (the man) have a legit reason to say they can't pay their employees more.....it is just one way the middle class can help keep the lower class down, thus securing their place in the world

Yeh, the sticker is on the frame of the console by the usbports.
So much for that plan.

Well it is your fault that you don't have the receipt. Don't try and scam by using someone else's receipt. It will teach you to keep better track of your receipts. That is your responsibility.

no your not ripping off two major corporations. walmart just calls up microsoft and sends it back to them. walmart gets the cash back from microsoft.

Keeping track of his receipts is his responsibility.
Delivering products that aren't defective is their responsibility.

Clearly, their responsibility outweighs his in this case.

born2blog · 10-09-2006, 07:14 PM

I doubt that will work because I'd imagine they can still trace back the serial number of the product for that particular receipt/purchase.

Good lord... It's like everyones Shitbox 360 has broke...

The whereabouts of his receipt are irrelevant. His warranty is expired.

What he intends to do is photoshop HIS xbox 360's serial number/purchase date on the receipt. All he wants to do is make it seem like he bought the item from Walmart say back in November 2005 or whenever. It's a scam for sure, but it's not an overly dastardly one -- at most what he did was bought a defunct unit from eBay for $200-250, called up MS and complained about the three rings of red deathness, they told him what he needed to send it back. The scam really isn't hurting anyone except the original purchaser of the Xbox 360, but that was his or own fault for not knowing about the recall of units made before January 2006.

Uhh, yeah, good point.

I don't know about the US, but here in The Netherlands we actually have laws about such things. No matter what the warranty says, manufacturers are required to deliver a product that, under normal conditions, lasts for a time that is reasonable considering the price of the product.

If a product craps out sooner than could reasonably be expected, and the cause of it lies in design or manufacturing flaws, the manufacterer is required by law to pay for part of the repairs, or even all of them.

No. The reason you keep the receipt is if there is a problem with a product, you take take the item back to the store. The receipt is to prove that you bought the item there. If you lose the receipt and a product breaks, you are shit out of luck without the receipt. You would think an adult would keep better track of their receipts and warranties. If not you get what you deserve.

It isn't about the receipt, as KrissKross pointed out. The warranty expired.

Well hell then if the warranty expired just pay to have it fixed and stop being so cheap. You work in the porn biz you should be making some cash.

Xbox at home got burned down.. it think it's the fuse..
sucks to have 110v stuff and 220 socket

He's "being cheap" because he is annoyed by a fairly expensive product breaking down within a very short amount of time, due to flaws in construction? That's ridiculous

Legally, he's probably covered by the implied warranty of merchantability. However, if he bought an xbox made before jan 2006, he should just give MS a call. They have admitted their mistakes and are replacing/repairing xboxes free of charge.

BitAudioVideo · 10-09-2006, 11:08 PM

im reminded of a seinfeld episode where kramer convinces Jerry to mail his broken stereo and insure it for $500 and blame the stereo not working on the u.s. mail....

You rock.
Thanks, i'll give that a try.

emthree · 10-09-2006, 11:24 PM

Just checked, I've had the 360 since the beginning of Jan.
Units made before 1/01/06 are covered for an additional year.
