Called...
Idiot Woman Answering the Phone: "Still awaiting stock, it has at least now been cleared by customs."
ME: "When was it cleared?"
Idiot Woman Answering the Phone: "Friday."
Me: "And your still awaiting it to be delivered to your offices?"
Idiot Woman Answering the Phone: "Yes, we don't know why its taking so long..."
Needless to say the conversation didn't get much more interesting that that.
I am guessing that there is nothing to be gained by emailing Microsoft about this.
Doubt it as they aren't too interested with their hardware in this country :rolleyes:Quote:

Told ye, we're being bull$#!tted all over the place!! I don't think this is a customs thing... what, are the Xboxes under quarantine?!
To hell with this, I will NEVER recommend an Xbox to a single person in SA again.
Sad But true. I love my xbox, love it to bits but this is Absurd. Painful as it is to admit i think im just going to end up buying a PS3 and kla. Sad Sad Day for Xbox in SA.Quote:

HDMI Replacement trouble - absolutely (regardless of p.o.p. it seems, we're just not getting HDMI replacements consoles, period.) Start saving up for a PS3 I say. :mad:
HERE you'll find the "official" policy regarding non-proof consoles. The reality is completely different though. Those of us with RROD or E74 issues have been waiting for almost 2 months now, with the same and/or conflicting reasons from Powercare (as you'll read in this thread)
Oh yes, the contact details won't work either as far as I know - MiDigital has gone into liquidation, taken over by Powercare.

Ah, you live near the vet? Maybe they can take a look at your b!tch of a console. lol... Ok, I see a pattern forming, Xboxes and da river don't mix! (Drosdy Park here)
Damn so I better get something asap. Cool, when my ADSL is back online, then we can destroy each other in COD4
Lol. Now that is some freaky shit right there.
I only Cod on mah PC. Dont even hook up live.Quote:

And there goes the topic... lol
loool. No worries.
Phoned again today. Still incustoms due to Name Change. I expect i wont see my new Box till beginning to middle August. I had just better be before Batman Arkham Asylum Launches.
I smell the rantings of a broken soul...
The Saga Continue's
They are getting the stock tomorrow... (Yeah right!) At the very latest Friday (Ok...) So i shall be expecting my console sometime in august.
It's been so long I've almost forgotten why I got my Xbox in the first place! lol. Next week will be two months waiting for me.
When i phone them on friday ill make sure they send your down also.:p I so nearly bough a ps3 on Saturday if i hadnt left my id at home i would have it. But i waited and will get it when the new mgs4 and Killzone bundles hits our shores.Quote:

Had this happen to me a few months back, and got a new one about a month later. Now I'm wondering if the new one is under warranty hmm
It should be, they register the new ones serial no to your name and can see when you got it. so you should be covered.Quote:

agh yes, the inFamous RROD. went through it 3times,until i eventually got sick of playing games on seeing as it's croaking. So sold it and bought a PS3 instead :D
was fun while it lasted..
So would you say the PS3 is a better choice in the end, even though the online aspects suck? I'm really thinking avbout my next console being a PS3, as it does seem like it's not a matter of if, but when I'll RROD again.Quote:

Off Topic Gennath my GF want to know if your GF's name is Natasijja? Weird i know but she's been nagging me.
Hey there. Got a call 5 minutes ago from Powercare. They received the stock, packing today, shipping tomorrow, and I should have it by Thursday/Friday. Yeeehaaa!
I agree however on not throwing away the Xbox... that would be silly, but I'll definitely see when I'll be able to get a PS3.
Oh happy days! I just got my Xbox! And guess what... the power supply isn't compatible. Seems they sent me an Arcade console that isn't compatible with the Pro power supply... who knew. Make sure you look out for this!!!
They said they'll send me a new power supply next week... like they said they'd replace my Xbox "next week" and it took two months.

Ag no man Gennath! Bloody idiots. Ill be sure to check out for this. I heard ill get mine sometime next week. Lets hope i don't have to same issue. Granted this isn't microsoft this is crappy SA customer service.Quote:

Seems it's not a Arcade vs. Pro issue, but a simpla matter of when it was made. I had a 2008 console, they replaced it with a mid-2007 model. *sigh* I don't know why hey. See here.
weird :/ when i sent my one away numerous, i never sent away my cabling with it. they only wanted the console. but weird, wth they replace it with a 2k7 model?!?
that's like servicing ur 2008 VW Passat and they give u a Citi Golf instead
Well, i think it's a better choice @ the end of the day. Sometimes i just don't feel like playing games from a hard days work and just chill and watch a movie on blu-ray(which is pretty damn awesome)Quote:

I haven't done the whole PSN thing though, so i can't comment on that. But my one friend is on the PSN and he says it's pretty good.
Honestly i just got tired of the whole XBOX Live not being available in this country. Take for example the GOW2 DLC debacle, now because we not in the XBOX Live community we have to abide to the German Law. Seriously who thought of all this s**t. It's enough to make any gamer crazy.
Once we officially on the XBOX Live list, then yes. I'll re-consider purchasing another XBOX360, by that time we'll have the XBOX360+ or whatever they decide to call it @ launch
Dont turn this into a Xbox vs PS3 thread. There is a thread on that already.
Take this to the ps3 vs x360 thread..or i'll start making people smile..and if I can't find you i'll settle for your loved ones:)
