Am I the only one that heard this game contained graphic pornography and contained "interactive orgasmic rape" and went out to buy myself a copy under false pretenses? (I keed I keed)

are you smoking crack??? sarcasm, right? How is GTAIV not a AAA title? Hows'bout Fable 2? Halo Wars? Guess I'll stop there as it's obvious you don't normally read these blogs...

With the new 3-year warranty it seems to take 4-6 weeks... that's at least what M$ claims at 1-800-4MY-XBOX... I'm about halfway through the process and it's been 3 weeks. I don't suppose you taped your repair ID number to the console and the box??? You don't mention that you did- and the repair center specifies repeatedly over the phone that if you don't put the number on both the console AND the box that you might not get your 360 back at all! I'm not kidding, the rep made me write it down she said it was so important. Hope it all works out, seems to me that you give M$ so much (mostly) good press that they should just give you one free anyways but whatever...

M$ is a corporation. By law, corporations are required to profit as much as possible to benefit their shareholders- BY LAW. M$ cannot settle this out of court unless they have evidence that shows that a settlement would cost M$ the least. Regardless of what they want to do- they are bound by law to screw whoever necessary to make money. You don't like it? Lobby to change the legislature- a lot of people are. Also- I had an original XBox, I had registered it for warranty/recall purposes AS PER THE INSTRUCTIONS that came with the console. Then I moved, changing zip codes even, and M$ tracked down my new address to send me the new power supply when i DIDN'T EVEN FILL OUT the order form they sent TO MY OLD ADDRESS! (and no, I never filled out a change of address form at the post office) M$ went above and beyond to fulfill their customers needs during the recall. Don't brand me as a fanboy though- I've still had 2 360s give me the Ring Of Death.
