just set it up tonight and it wont start up, powers up then the logo just freezes and nowt happens, wont load a game up either.
i want to know my rights to getting an immediate refund so i can try and get a new 1.
i paid via credit card.
i know if i wait for amazon to do their thing my son will be without his xmas prezzie,
i want to demand a refund asap or amazon deliver me a new xbox before tuesday which will be impossible as i dare say they will want the faulty 1 back 1st, but the timescale involved wont work.

    Just log into your account and you can raise a return and a courier to collect.

    You will have to place another order for a new one.

    Thats the quickest way, or give them aring and they may collect and send another in one go

    Amazon will only send out a replacement or refund you once they have the faulty Xbox back in their warehouse, and then they may take a couple of days to send out a replacement (stock permitting).

    Basically, and sadly, you will probably not get it sorted before Xmas. I think that the only thing you can do is to buy one from somewhere else on the high street (online will probably not get delivered in time now), and send the faulty one back for a refund.

    well all i need to know is that will issue a full refund asap, everything is open and used, even the extras i bought, the lot will go back.
    i will have to go a try buy 1 from a more decent supplier and pay it off when i get a refund
