Quoted:
"
THERE WAS A FIRE. YOUR PRODUCT STARTED A FIRE. I DO NOT NEED AN AUTOMATED
WARRANTY REPLACEMENT. I NEED TO SPEAK WITH SOMEONE WHO WILL ADDRESS THIS
ISSUE.
FIRE = BAD.
YOU = UNAWARE OF FIRE.
It’s that glowy orange stuff. If you touch it, you die. Understand?
F-I-R-E."

lalalala, that's brilliant.

I think he's simply microwaved his hub and then fabricated these so called "replies". EA customer service is the best in the world, there's no way they would provide unhelpful advice or simply ignore him.

Ea support has always been useless, but this seems to take it to a new level.

I'd say take it to EA HQ and tell them what happend.....Then again maybe they are about as useful as a chocolate ashtray.

Simlish3 · 22-10-2008, 12:54 PM

Maybe EA wanted his Rock Band experience to go up with a bang

lalalala.
To be honest, if that was me, I would Sue em'

Its not something you can take to court and instantly win.
You'd have no evidence that you didnt do something "wrong" to "cause" the failure/fire.

Sue them for what? His broken usb hub? Big bucks right there!

Aaron · 22-10-2008, 03:12 PM

That's the mistake he made. He should have let it burn his house down.

Avaricious bugger, you are, Aaron.

It makes me wonder why no one has made an EA support appreciation social group yet!
