So my xbox gets the red ring of death so i take it back to bestbuy/geeksquad. I had like 10 days left on my waranty. The geek squad guy tells me to go pick any xbox i want. But there are only 60gig ones and my old one was a 20. He lets me take the 60 gig without paying anything! He frogot to take out the games that came with it but he took out the cords because i only brought my consle and hard drive. I made out like a bandit without paying anything! :D

No worries, Karma will make all right once again.

LOL, I have found that to be true.
-
Yeah but in the mean time enjoy the games. Karma usualy has a hangover on sunday mornings.
-
He'll probably lose his job over this. But it's OK because you got a couple free games! YEAH!!
(stealing's wrong mmkay?)

I had a buddy that took the stuff (office 2007) he got off of Microsoft club live back to Best buy. He would get $400 of store credit. He was one crazy SOB.

maybe won't lose his job, but it's retail so he will have to make up the difference, so i hope that makes you feel good zoo! :devil
unless they really stink at keeping inventory, which i doubt
-
Nah they most likely wont even notice.
Karma on the other hand is going to take something away from you for it. Just take care of that kitteh in a basket, and watch out for finger nails in your cheerios
-
What karma... or rather what bad did I ever do to deserve all the crap from karma! Karma owes me good things big time!
-
no no Fishu, you have it all wrong sir, undeserving persons may spend the later years of their lives doing bad stuff without having to worry about it. I'm with you there, i rekon, although i deserved half my life for sure so far. Karma is training us to be serial killers.

Doubt it. To a big store like BestBuy, the difference between a 60gig and a 20 gig is nothing. If it were 120, MAYBE there might be ramifications, but I still doubt it. As for the free games, what do they care? Once they hand you the new one, its a write-off to them.

Work retail much?

Maybe the person that let him take it was a Manager trying to keep a customer satisfied by providing good customer service, and gave him the extras to show same. I know its rare now adays, but i hold out hope its still out there.

I vote newhire with no knowledge of what he's supposed to be selling.
You know, the typical Best Buy employee.

My Saitek X45 broke once, a plastic ring at the base of the stick detached from the body. So I returned it and they sent back an another stick, which seemed to been used, possibly a returned stick that had been repaired. I immediately checked the same plastic ring and well, didn't it already show signs of breaking apart from the body, halfway detached. I returned it too, they apologized it and sent a brand new X45, along with Morrowind CD, which seemed to be a bit out of place. I suppose they added it to the package to make up for the trouble. Morrowind is one of the best games ever, although HOTAS is no use with it ;)

I have a friend who sent in a 360 after the red-rings. They sent him back a completely different one saying they had just refurbished it.

Took a cable back to Best Buy along with a couple of other items. Didn;t realize it till I got home, but htey had credited me for soemthing I kept from that purchase. They must not have payed attention when checking of the items I returned. Of course, neither did I. :D
