I'm fairly frustrated.  I got a replacement console back from the XBox repair center last week after mine died.  It seemed to be a fairly quick, relatively painless, and reasonable procedure.  However, when Becky popped in a DVD and got a region code error, I was pretty upset. They had sent a console with the wrong region code setting.  Now, setting arguments against region coding aside, this is riduculous.  Now, I have to go through the procedure of sending the box back AGAIN, and there's no guarantee I won't have some other thing wrong with it. 

I might be less upset about this if I had been given some compensation for this stupid mistake like some complimentary Microsoft points for the marketplace (especially since I have to buy my arcade games again so my wife can play them on her account) or even a sincere apology would have been nice.  Instead, the "technician" simply read a pre-written apology to me without the slightest bit of feeling.

Dude. That is so weak. Seriously... unbelievable. How does the borg, er.. microsoft expect to keep people happy with service like this?

I think you should write that "technician" a nasty letter......on his face........with your fist.
