So this is pretty much a rip off concept, but hey I will most definitely take my xbox to the Microsoft gurus! See if they can fix it… that will be so much better than going to best buy or calling microsoft over the phone.

I wonder if there would be regular protests, as well as vociferous complaints, at such a store. I can think of few companies that have earned such a high level of bad feelings from so many of their (forced) customers.
