Ok, so here is the plan.

I go to blockbuster, and rent the system, then switch my broken box with their working box, and then take it back and get my money back...

Sounds like a good idea to me :D

and then when the next customer says it doenst work they send their henchmen after you and publicly spoon out your eyeballs to show they are not a force to be reckoned with!

BTw have you done this already or is it something you planon doing?

They'll probally just charge you because they think you broke their Xbox.

But I do have a better solution, get the Better Business Bureau on the horn and tell them that Microsoft sold you a defective product and are charging you to fix it. They'll get your Xbox fixed for free most likely. If it doesn't work, you haven't lost anything but I'd give it a try before ripping off Blockbuster.

They have stickers on the outside, and on the hardware, and if you remove the stickers that are on the inside, not only will your ruin their xbox too, you will have to pay for it. It better not be store #48600, If i see you in there, i will examine your rectum with a 9 iron!!!

No, I havent done it. It was more of just a thought. I wouldnt be able to do that. I have a nagging problem of values and morals :cuss:

I was just venting my frustration with a friend about my xbox and I came up with that idea.

Its almost the same as max's walmart switch, just a different company

Our store is the #7 store in the USA. Cleanest, friendliest, prettiest. Lakeway throws out so much money :p

Why dont you just do it with a T.R.U or a walmart? You get a brand new xbox without having to make a deposit w/ an account or credit card.

Haha, Id laugh my arse off if you left you xbox live data in the xbox hard drive... Then they play with your tag to see what it is. Call up XBL and give them your tag. The soon then find your credit card number and house address and then either persecute or charge your credit card with the price of the xbox.

Be careful.:cheers:
