The advancements in technology within the last decade has been great, no doubt about it. With new recent breakthroughs in the form of the new iPhone being able to recognise voice recognition to the new announcement that Microsofts Project Natal for the Xbox 360 is set to have full body motion sensing capabilities with no wires and nothing plugged into you in any way at all.
However what happens when something goes wrong with it? Sometimes it can cost nearly as much as you paid for the item just to send it off for repair which is where companies are going wrong. A large number of cases is never down to the user, normally it’s because the product wasn’t made correctly to begin with. Despite the Xbox 360 being the best console to have in this current console generation, it’s been found to have had one major flaw. The red rings of death. To any Xbox 360 owners, seeing the red rings is horrible because you basically have to hand over your wallet. The only way to not pay for a repair is if your console is still within warranty, if not, you will have to ship it off and they will charge you around 50 pound for a problem that should not be a problem.
This never used to happen with older consoles like the N64 or the Playstation 1, however, now the problem is becoming more widespread. We are seeing more and more Playstation 3’s and Nintendo Wii’s being sent off, as well as the normal flow of Xbox’s. It could be down to the fact that this year has seen a record boom in the sale of computer games but it is more likely to be that manufacturers are more interested in shifting units than making a full proof package like they used too.
There is now a solution to this that helps you save money, gadget insurance. You can purchase insurance for up to any 5 of your gadgets and it will cost you only 20 pounds a month. Although this seems a lot it is cheaper than having to go out and pay for repairs to your products. This is mainly because if you were ever to drop one of your gadgets like an iPhone, it would set you back around 100 pound to repair. So if you think about it, having to 20 pound each month to protect your 5 gadgets is not as pad as having to pay 100 pound to repair something that you can break over and over again. Also, for fixing items like a Nintendo Wii, they tend to charge you more money than you actually paid for the console to begin with.
Of course if it is just the one product you want to insure, even if it’s not a gaming console, you can simply pay for Xbox 360 Insurance for cheaper. Unfortunately, a large number of home emergency insurance policies don’t cover your modern day gadgets.
