[<\/strong> \"Sleepy\" Mood:<\/strong> Sleepy ]<\/strong>
Today my 360 will arrive in Texas for repairs. <\/p>\n

It seems like a long time, but in reality, I called the "helpful" Microsoft Xbox "helpline" just last week. <\/p>\n

FIVE TIMES.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I didn’t talk to anyone in the call center depicted above. Know how I know that? The people above look HAPPY. Like they’re models, posing for a call center ad. <\/p>\n

Five employees and three supervisors later, I got a supervisor who actually backed up her claim to help me with a service number that not only showed up on my Xbox.com repair page, but also provided a tracking number for the repair box I was sent. <\/p>\n

Come Tuesday morning, the Fedex man delivers my overnight box (I demanded it for the phone hassles, and I got it). <\/p>\n

On my porch sat two empty Fedex shipping boxes. TWO.<\/p>\n

And I thought the call center employees were confused.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To be safe as possible in this situation, I decided to send my broken 360 back in the box with the same tracking number on it that I’d seen online. <\/p>\n

I’m not terribly happy about all the confusion, and the potential for more before this is over, but at least the process has begun. <\/p>\n

I’m trying to be zen about it, like this fellow.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, does anyone need an empty box for a broken 360? <\/p>\n
