Giving Microsoft a Grade (Xbox Transfer Kit)

Thanks for lending me that Xbox 360 Harddrive Transfer Kit so I could move all my saved info from my 20GB HDD to my new 60GB HDD. But guess what? Microsoft, in its infinite wisdom, made the first of the kits only work with a 120GB HDD. The kit doesn't even recognize the 60GB one.

So now, I have to print off this dumb .pdf file and fax it (at least I don't have to mail it) to get an updated, free one.

If I were to write a final review of the Xbox 360 and Microsoft, I would have to say they stumbled upon greatness and it shows. Bad hardware, infuriating restrictions, greedy pricing and some of the best games I've ever played with the best online system for a console so far. Of course, half of the good points there are for the developers of the actual games, so really Microsoft gets a D+ in my book. Maybe a nice ink stamp that says, "Keep Trying!"
