Well I just always hear about how big of dipshits they are. Like this one dude had his 360 break you know all the kaboodle. And he called the service. And they said send it back and we’ll send you a new one. The catch was he had to pay for the shipping. And he was pissed as hell and they were arguing with him and what not and it was a mess haha. Think this was posted on Kotaku if you wanted to search. But there have been many stories about this.

Sony and Nintendo on the other hand I hear have quite good customer service. But I guess with Sony you need it seeing with all the calls you get haha.

Sony’s products are top of the line, not including the launch systems obviously.

When I bought my 360 they asked me if I wanted to pay $28 for the warranty. I was like WTF?!
