A system that makes little girls cry.
I got a broken used one for Christmas as some of you may know. I returned it, and Gamestop didn't have another in stock, and had to order one from the higher ups.
Well, I got it, works great, until suddenly it starts acting like my controller is disconnected. So I ignore it, but it becomes progressively worse over the few weeks.
So I buy a new controller thinking its the crappy used one that I got with it, since last night it just stopped working all together. Mind you, these are WIRED controllers.
I plug it in and...! Nothing. Its the Xbox.
GG Microsoft. Making decent money off these peices of crap with bits of corn in it.
Seriously, ever since I got an Xbox when they first came out I knew for a freaking fact that they were lemons.
Me and my PS3 get along in perfect harmony.
FML. I was just starting to play Bayonetta too....*RAEG*

Can I has yours? Kthxbai.
No seriously, why do I SOMEHOW run into every single crappy Xbox on earth?! I didn't do anything to it! ...Well, except play games on it. But its not like I jabbed a fork into the controller ports.

I think its an arcade type. Since I tried and failed to play my old Xbox games. (And while I do hate the Xbox brand, some of my favorite games were on it.)
The one Gamestop had in stock when I called there had the red ring, so thats why they had to order another one. (Shouldn't they CHECK THAT KIND OF THING? Failstop.)
I'd love to make them fork over a new one for compensation (Though that most likely will NOT happen.) since I probably won't get my money back for this one. I'd also settle for buying a new one. But, I just don't have that kind of money at the moment. :sigh:

I'm on my 3rd Xbox now. The problem I kept having was that it was un able to read games.

I used my brother's 360 until he sold it a few weeks ago, and he bought it a week or so after the 360 was originally released. Towel trick extends the lifetime by a year... 8D

Okay, I think I'm freaking done.
I turned it on to get my Bayonetta game out of it so I could pack it back up, and it had a red ring.
FML.

That still won't solve the problem of the controllers not connecting though.

Is it a wired controller or a wireless one?
