    Want $30 for basic games and everything being glitchy as hell. They’re extremely lazy and greedy. Stay on top of stuff if you’re going to think it’s worth that, such a joke!!! Customer service sucks, the console runs slow, more storage is expensive as hell to also run slow. Switch to PS5 y'all.

    I'm a 22 year combat veteran, who spent well over $800 on a Xbox Series X, which I use for to help handle my PTSD and 7 TBI's. I have had it less than a year and now it won't even get past the troubleshooting screen and all tech support and other maintenance works can tell me is I might have to get a new one. As you can see in the pictures, there's no damage and there is barely even any dust. I really take care of the things that take care of me....bull.... unbelievable bull...

      Customer service is non existent. Give you the run around, allow others to steal your money & then give hoops to jump through when they could easily figure out what happened quickly on their end & won't. “Ohh noooo I’d have to put a lil effort in & actually WORK.” 🙄 Ex’s kid stole my card info apparently & keeps over drawing my bank account on multiple occasions thru Xbox game & they refuse to help me get it sorted so I can press charges & have proof of the username that used my bank card. I’d like to press charges asap & need the proof of what account made the purchases. Their only solution was cancel my card which I will BUT that doesn’t help me hold the person accountable. They told me to check transactions on the account but I’d need to access the kid's account & his father & I aren't together anymore (they’re both thieves clearly).

      I refuse to support Xbox as a company any longer due to this being the 2nd or 3rd time it’s happened & it somehow still charged me after I’ve gotten a new card (same #’s but a new exp date & ccv code) & although ALL other subscriptions made me update my new card info before they’d carry on with the subscriptions I have, Microsoft obviously didn’t do that to protect its customers. They’re somehow still managing to get $$ from me even with a new card somehow. THAT is a MASSIVE red flag cause who is to say XBox isn’t the ones actually taking this $ for nothing? I’m betting that’s why they give ya the run around!!! Be very wary of this company these days!!!! Not a trustworthy one & definitely doesn’t protect the customers.

      One star is too much. We have a Xbox account that my husband has been using since he was 10 years old. About 4 years ago we got our first family plan which involved getting new phones and numbers. About 2 years ago we got the notification that the account was locked and we could no longer access the email without resetting the password again. It's 15 years old. My husband has no clue what little him liked. We tried passwords. None worked so we go reset the password. It wants a verification code from his old phone number. So we click the box that we do not have access. We did the form we need to fill out. We are told not enough info.

      We have been trying to get in touch with a actual person for 2 years to get the issue resolved. Well tonight it officially happened. He got logged out. Once again we started the loop over and we even included card info that we used just 2 weeks ago to purchase the new Battlefield 6. We have spent so much money on games over the years and it is terrible that we can't get ahold of anyone to help us resolve the issue. As I said ALL of our Xbox purchases are on this account. It wouldn't hurt you to actually have representatives to help customers with problems the site can't. Microsoft DO BETTER.

      I purchased the newest Xbox a few days ago. In my account almost all of my games are missing. The dlc and add ons are showing as owned by me in the game store. With the purchase of previous Xbox’s in the past you could download owned games. I first tried following The instructions of the Virtual Assistant but that did not work. There’s no option in the Xbox account Xbox Support. Unable to reach a person via the Xbox Online Support or Telephone, I re-downloaded a game only to be charged for it again, even though all saved games were present when opened. I tried reaching out to Microsoft for assistance in getting my games back and a refund on the duplicate download. I went through the refund request and have heard nothing back.

      NOW THE PHONE CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER AUTOMATICALLY TELLS ME TO GO TO XBOX.COM AND HANGS UP. I spent over $700 on the new Xbox. MICROSOFT HAS MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO GET CUSTOMER SERVICE SO I AM GETTING A REFUND ON THE XBOX. I hate to lose all my games, but myself and girl friend have exhausted ourselves over days of trying to get through to anyone at Microsoft for help. UNBELIEVABLE! But true. After having Xboxes from their beginning I am done and will get a gaming pc.

      I have had one for almost 8 years, the only thing that made me so sick and mad about Xbox was how they changed and switch to OneDrive and got rid of all of my memories from old days of PEAK gaming. I will never forgive them. I didn’t know they switched to it at the time, and now all of my videos and screenshots are gone permanently and I have to buy to put more videos now. Thanks.

      I don't care that my daughter signed in to my account. She's 7. I do care that I remember a time when I could just play a game on the Xbox I purchased. Newer models of Xboxes came out. They had better graphics. That was good. But...for some reason, the folks that made these better graphics were hired alongside idiots that ruined the Xbox because they have this ridiculous idea that the majority of security should be on the end user, resulting in the end user not being to use the item they purchased. This sucks. Do I remember the password that Microsoft has made me change a million times? (Put it on the end user.) No. Can I just look it up by clicking Passwords in Settings on Edge? Not anymore.

      I really hope Lamborghini and Ferrari gives these guys a taste of their own medicine by not letting their stupid cars start because "well, there are car thieves". I can't play games on my Xbox because of those idiots. Because my daughter tried logging into a game, I can no longer use my Xbox because these "let's put it all on the end user, the thing they never asked for" people have made us change our passwords so many times, it's impossible to remember them. These guys are the worst and I hope PlayStation doesn't do this crap because I'm buying a Playstation next time. There's a new generation that comes out.

      My husband purchased a new Xbox a week ago and we've been having a hard time switching over all his info, gamer tag, etc. After numerous attempts and all of the log on options they had on file we were hitting a dead end. The info that was on file was an email address we never even had and 2 landline numbers and an old cell number from over 10 years ago. Common sense tells us that landlines can't receive codes so we were stuck. I was thinking outside the box and I called the CS line to get support for a "purchase" which I did on purpose because I knew it would be a live person. The rep listens to my issue then says he'll transfer me to a live person to help. That's when Kevin answered the phone and it went downhill from there. He was very condescending and wasn't properly trained due to the constant contradictions he was telling me.

      He suggested I fill out the form (had submitted 5 at this point) or contact the phone company from the old cell line I had over 10 years ago. I thought I heard him wrong but he was absolutely serious about me calling to see if the phone company could give me a code. I've never heard of such an outrageous suggestion in my life. So I then ask to speak with a supervisor and I get put on hold for 10 minutes to be told that William will call me back in 20 minutes. We all know there was no William and I wasn't going to be getting a call back. Kevin was debating every question I asked for 42 minutes then we magically got disconnected and he called back to debate for another 16 minutes- so unprofessional. I then asked where on the website it states that his suggestions are part of the recovery process in which he can't because such nonsense doesn't exist.

      People spend a lot of money between consoles, games and add-ons with Xbox and it's pathetic how the customer service is lacking. I forgot to add that meanwhile every time my husband makes a purchase I get a confirmation sent to my email which was supposed to be a back up just in case but wasn't showing as a recovery option. I started doing my own research and reading articles on similar situations and was finally able to figure it out myself. We are still debating returning the Xbox as the customer service has really left a bad taste in our mouth. To the ridiculous representative Kevin- I'm praying that call was recorded for quality and training purposes because you either need to be retrained or fired because you clearly don't have any idea what customer service is or how to do your job. Shame on Microsoft for allowing this.😡

      If I could give negative stars I would. They hide the ability to talk to a person so deep that it is almost impossible and once I finally get through they can't help me anyways. I'm about to lose 20 years worth of gamer credit and hundreds of dollars spent on games due to being locked out of an account that used an old email. Make sure you keep your email up to date because apparently Xbox ID, serial number, credit card info all means nothing if you don't know the subject line of your last email to verify your account.

      Buying 2 games only to find out they freeze, try Xbox Community which made it worser. I did mention, "My old email is on there. Can I retrieve my games onto my new email?" I was told yes. Did what they said. Now I have no games (17). Nothing to play. Filled out info online. Wait 24-48 hrs nothing. Still waiting. No one talk to, no human voice. I should have brought a PS5. Been with Xbox for yrs, fix your customer service. They had no info on myself buying games online.
