A friend at work just phoned Microsoft to get his Xbox repaired (sounds like the DVD drive has gone) and they've had to phone him back because they have...wait for it...software problems!
Great.
Great.

Heh. :D
The bigger Microsoft irony is that everybody moans about them, yet most wouldn't dream of using any other software.
When he does manage to get through it'll be all good. They fixed my Xbox for me and sorted out couriered delivery there and back even though I was a few days out of warrantee. Even sent me a big box to package everything up in.

They do have excellent Customer Service though.

Borat has had to send his off 3 times....
Yeah, but that is just incompetent idiots working in the tech shop.
I however may be beginning to have slight problems with mine... Or perhaps just ESPN NHL Hockey. I hope not.

If I could go back and make Acorn rule the world I would.

Irony? Erm.. they're not 'Micro' or 'Soft'?
...and he's now found out his Xbox is way out of warranty, so they would charge him £70 for the repair (a £30 DVD drive that virtually anyone can put in to the Xbox).
I've said I'd do it or he can spend the £70 on another second hand machine instead.

Tell him to just get the DVD Drive off them. They are really easy to fit and require no system modifications.
Be aware that you cannot fit a standard drive into an Xbox though, their power connectors are different. And don't disconnect the IDE cable from the Hard Drive fo it'll unlock (the power cable is safe to remove).
If MS won't give him the Drive by itself, he may as well just get a second hand Xbox, or buy the Samsung drive off ebay and go from there.
