Either Microsoft has a real problem or shops try to resell bad machines

Whatever the reason for these happenings, it's totally abnormal for someone to have to go to the store four times to change 3 broken machines and still not get a good one in the end. A video on YouTube I just saw is about a guy named Tim, who bought an Xbox 360 and had to change it three times because after taking the first machine home, he discovered a controller was missing.

The video starts off with our guy, Tim, who is behind the wheel and his friend who is filming the trip to Wal-mart. The back seat is occupied by the broken Xbox 360 that is to be changed. Tim tries to be funny about his trying to buy a good machine-" Apparently God doesn't want this to happen"- but as the two friends go in to Wal-mart and exchange the machine, they are faced with more problems.

To ensure his not coming back to Wal-mart to change it again, Tim decides to ask an employee to check the machine on a TV set. Surprise! It didn't work. That's not normal folks. He'd have had less trouble buying a private jet comparing to what he's gone through with the Xbox 360. After changing and checking, Tim finally got hold of a good unit, which actually worked when plugged into the TV set.

But hold tight, it's not the end of it. Don't ask why, but when Tim and his friend got home they plugged in the 360 only to discover that that one didn't work either. Tim eventually asked for a full refund and never wants to hear of Microsoft's Xbox 360 again. Just watch it for yourselves. It's got good music too.
