Why is Microsoft cheap?



My headset clip snapped off when I was simply picking it off the floor so I could talk after a match in DDR Ultramix. Do they even repair/replace the headset when this happens?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Of course they don't repair it. Mine snapped in the exact same place, but I'm using the 360 headset now so I don't really give two thirds of a shit. I just used some superglue and duct tape to niggerrig it back to working condition.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That's one of the older headsets, right?

Well, either way, I'd suggest just buying another one, but the one that plugs into the XBOX controller slot..thing. It's like a speaker.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I ordered an Xbox Live Starter Kit in July or August 2005 from Walmart.com. I wouldn't call it an "older" headset...

And Microsoft seems to have stopped supporting Xbox altogether. Every store and website I've looked at is sold out of headsets, and only have a few third-party wireless ones left...

Yes its an old Xbox headset. I went through like three of these taped all the time until they were dust.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Microsoft is cheap so that, when things like this occur, the consumer will go out and buy it again because that consumer assumes it was their fault. Hence, Microsoft just made a profit. Twice. From the same person.

It was badly designed. My broke in the same place too. Just do what couple of people here suggested, super glue it or tape it back on. It's now worth the money to get another one that would just brake again.

How ya doing, buddy?

Well actually, Microsoft is quite an expensive proposition for someone to acquire.

:P

Maybe y'all should learn how to take care of your things.

Mine is just like new.

You know what's great about this post? The subtlety.

Mine's never broken, but then again I hardly use it.
