the1inblue Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 So today my little girl wanted to play the Xbox Kinect. So I fire up the Xbox 360 console up and have you know it the sensor gives me an error stating its not level. Well I havent played with the kinect in a few days and its been sitting in the same spot for the past 8 months. Well I get online to check to see if I can get it sent off to repaired by Xbox and As I register the kinect I see that the warranty expired yesterday (11/25/2011). So I'm thinking great! Well since thinking I'm sure the Kinect has been broken since I havent used it in a few days and not sure when it it actually stop working. I guess I just havent realized it because I dont use it much and no error occurred when the Xbox starts up to the home screen. Here's a tip for you that have a Kinect if you EVER get a red light to come on the Kinect Senso check your settings and ensure its working properly. I decided to call customer service to see if they would work with me on this issue of the warranty and of course they wouldnt do anything about it but try and charge me $89 for a refurbished product. They stated they would send after two weeks. Funny part is that I can get a new one for $99...Maybe I should switch to PS3...I been a Microsoft user for long time but after this I'm not sure what to think about them.

ExpressThis13 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 im on my 2nd xbox that has been repaired for RROD once already if it does it again I give up. Lucky for me I have already made the leap and have both a xbox and ps3 so if my xbox goes out again I have a backup system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamized Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I've had one RROD. Then I put in L.A. Noire and it screwed up the xbox and it began to freeze. I took it apart used compressed air and it's back to normal now. KNock on wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the1inblue Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 Yeah this makes me really upset about Microsoft. Ive had all the Xboxs and not one has ever died on me. I get the kinect and exactly a year later it dies out of warranty. What kinda of crap is that! Note to self buy the extended warranty. Needless to say I will not be buying another anytime soon as I have a Wii and that will keep my daughter company until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savi01 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Sorry to hear about your issue! Seeing as the warranty expired only yesterday you would think Microsoft could help you out. But this is what we get these days ... PS3 is def the way to go, however I hope you can get your Kinect back up and working soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't hate player, hate the game... They are definately clear, but I'll take a 60" 3D crystal clear display with a PS3 over a CPU anyday. The PS3 hasn't even been challenged for what it can do yet. One patch update, and bam, 3D Blu-Ray player. Bought mine in Dec '07, and a blu-ray, game or Netflix are always on, haven't had any issues yet.

MichiganSRT8 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 ive been through 3 xbox's, only paid for one . im a smooth talker i guess, and enough of a complainer haha. companies would much rather have a happy customer then a bad review of their work. Some people may say that makes me a bad person, but after 2 RROD i think its just right they fix it on their dime. hope you get it figured out!
