Właśnie dzwonił do mnie
@XboxPL
i dostałem informację, że w poniedziałek wyślą mi nową konsolę i odbiorą wadliwy egzemplarz do badania.


He just called me @XboxPL and I was informed that on Monday they will send me a new console and pick up the defective copy for testing.

Xbox's reply to said tweet

Arek, jeszcze raz przepraszamy, że zajęło to trochę dłużej, niż początkowo obiecywaliśmy, ale na szczęście udało się całą sprawę skończyć happy endem

Arek, once again we apologize that it took a little longer than we initially promised, but luckily we managed to finish the whole thing happily

 

[-Arcadia-]

Look, 12 Teraflops of power are not something everyone can handle. If the first sign of flames sends you running, maybe you should buy a lesser console.

 

[sircaw]

So it was Legit, and after Microsoft put out that vaping tweet, WTF.

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

A console broke. Drama indeed.

 

[Bryank75]

Oh wow... even I thought it was a vape thing. Guess I'm a bit too cynical...or not cynical enough, I can't decide!

 

[Dodkrake]

A console broke. Drama indeed.

I don't know about you, but spontaneous console fire is not something I want in my home.

Better remove all electrical appliances then. We can't take any chances.

 

[phil_t98]

consoles break and new consoles break to, there are still idiots who would put vape in there for the YouTube hits. glad who ever this is gets his console replaced

 

[Jigsaah]

Mine works fine, sucks for that guy.

 

[Bonsaibäumchen]

Dunno that XboxPl Twitter account ain't even verified. Not sure if this is legit.

 

[Faithless83]

Wasn't this supposed to be the refrigerator console?
This is wrong on so many levels, man.

 

[Jigsaah]

Did anybody bother to put this into google translate? Where does it say anything about a smoking Xbox?

OP, this is bullshit.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

At least his didn't spontaneously combust like mine did.

 

[PSYGN]

At least his didn't spontaneously combust like mine did.

Sir, I think your house is also on fire.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Sir, I think your house is also on fire.

Oh yeah I'm homeless now

 

[Kokoloko85]

Theres gonna be plenty defects out of millions of units Im guessing from both consoles.
I hope mine will be fine

 

[NEbeast]

It happens,there are ps5s that are bricked too. Nothing out of the ordinary.

The guy they @ is the guy with the smoking Series X.

sleep with one eye open friend. Don't let it out of your sight.

Tomorrow morning head down to your local hardware shop, buy 10 smoke detectors and strap them all to the xbox sides. PEACE.

I hope the vape guy doesn't.

Vape Guy: My console just broke.

Microsoft: Well you vaped into it and we have the proof. We won't fix it since you destroyed it yourself.

Xbox's reply to said tweet

Seems here Xbox willing to give this buyer a new console if he returns the smoking one! MS wants to test it though and see if the claim legit. If he's lying the MS engineers will find that! Either way seems like a isolated event, only see this guy claim the Xbox series was smoking.

 

[Skifi28]

With winter coming, I was kinda hoping this was a feature and not a defect.

Exactly. None of this is proven. People jumping to conclusions to further their own deranged narrative. Just enjoy your consoles and kindly shut the fuck up.

 

[Calverz]

This thread is hillarious. Fanboys suckin it right up!

No need to be so defensive, this could happen on both sides. We all hope we are not back to the RROD days anymore.

 

[Dodkrake]

Regular appliances don't usually set themselves on fire, that is, except the series X.

 

[McCheese]

PSU died, fanboys giving him a hard time are idiots.

There were several

Yes, your questionable sample size of ONE, proves that beyond all doubt.

Jesus fuckin' christ...

 

[Jadsey]

Stay safe out there people.

Next gen coming in hot.

Just go back to the speculation and see there were multiple claims.

 

[MrFunSocks]

Those tweets don’t indicate that it’s not a fake at all? Of course MS will want to investigate someone claiming their console caught fire. Doesn’t mean it’s not fake though.

If I tweet Sony and say that my imaginary PS5 caught fire and they asked me to send it to them does that mean it’s true?

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

Just go back to the speculation and see there were multiple claims.

I just looked at your post history. You should be embarrassed.

 

[Birdo]

I don't get it.

Because this guy's xbox broke, that means that the fake vape ones were real? :/

 

[MagnesG]

There were several

I've seen several vaping up the console too. You got to bring your receipts now.

 

[dorkimoe]

I don't know about you, but spontaneous console fire is not something I want in my home.

Hope you don’t own a computer then. Cuz psu go up in smoke a lot

 

[Piku_Ringo]

I don't know about you, but spontaneous console fire is not something I want in my home.

It makes for one helluva grill for cooking your food tho.

 

[nikolino840]

We don't know,they say that they retire his console for tests

 

[The_Mike]

A console broke. Drama indeed.

Theres a difference between a broken console and a brick that wants to burn your house down.

I could be wrong though.

 

[Insane Metal]

You can see a very quick flash right at the beginning of the video, that's something happening inside the console, so it looks true. I didn't notice that before.

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

As per usual, you are. A brick that wants to burn your house down?

 

[The_Mike]

This thread is hillarious. Fanboys suckin it right up!

What do you mean? Some says it's broken, but I don't see someone praising it. The only fanboy here is you for warring.

 

[The_Mike]

As per usual, you are. A brick that wants to burn your house down?

Well, like all electronics it could actually cause fire and set nearby stuff on fire.

Maybe you should reconsider how fire works.

You are a fucking genius. You aren't very good at reading, though.

You do know you call defect hardware bricked right?

If you weren't busy calling everyone an idiot, you wouldn't look so much like a stupid idiot yourself.

Edit: oh sorry didn't think of you were a grammar nazi. Want instead of could or can.

Please delete my account and determinate my existence cus I used one wrong word that still could easily make a mentally retarded boy understand my post.

Except you.

Who did I call an idiot? Quote me. I'll wait here.

Kindly shut the fuck up! What a weird response .. are you hurt because people are discussing this issue?

 

[Redlight]

Of course he does. Apparently all these guys have top end rigs to protect them from ever needing an Xbox.
