I got my Xbox back from Microsoft today.

They've refused to fix it under warranty because of 'evidence of tampering'. They've shown on the console where this 'evidence' is. Basically, it's minimal scuffing on the back of the console, near the power supply. It is so minor and inconsequential. I've never had a go at opening it, and Stringerman, from whom I purchased it, hasn't either.

Microsoft have said that they will still fix my Xbox for a price, which seems like about £80 from a quick googling. That's a fucking astronomic fee considering I can go out and buy a brand new one for £140 or so.

Do you think it's worth me taking this up with Microsoft, as they're clearly trying to dick me out of a repair, or do I chalk it up as just the way life works and remember fondly the time MW2 and I had together?

Just for a final kick in the teeth, it broke the day before Black Ops was due out.
