I owned one Xbox years ago. I just wanted to play games without technical issues. PC games were better but I just wanted to go arcade mode for a while. One of the first games I bought froze at the first loading screen every single time. I tried contacting the publisher, Microsoft, the developer… No one would help, barely even got responses. I exchanged it for another copy at the local store it came from, the new copy did the exact same thing. No refunds on games so I was stuck with a $50 game that didn’t work.
That’s when I realized that consoles have a lot of technical issues too, it’s just not possible for me to fix them like it is on PC. Later that same xbox red ringed.
