My friends PS3 went kerplut so i was like dude you can borrow my 360 until you get it fixed.Which was a year and a half ago..So he's off all week between Christmas and New Year,and the PS3 has been sitting in a box for a year..and he blocks me from playing the system on my day off by saying'm only going to play for a couple hours..after he played it for the last 3 days 10 hours a day..so i told him,finally,that he got the PS3 and i'm taking the 360 back.I feel like a [deleted] because he got into alot of games but i feel like i was taken advantage off.

No you re not being a [deleted], your friend however is.

Sounds like your friend was taking advantage of your kindness. I wouldn't trouble yourself with feeling bad for taking what is rightfully yours. You were trying to be a good friend, and in the end you got dumped on. He should be the one that feels guilty, not you.

If my friend did that too me. I'd walk in, take my Xbox and take the PS3, maybe even rip his TV off the wall and take that too.

Yeah, take it back. He's obviously not going to get his PS3 fixed as long as he has your 360 as a free replacement. You sure you want that kind of "friend?" That's a pretty inconsiderate thing to do.

Well i rent off this friend..but i told him he has until the end of the week.Then i'm taking it back.I was cool about it letting him know that he has the PS3 and he doesn't need my 360..since i do rent off him i even offered him to use my DSL to update his system and games once i take the system back

I figured a week will also allow him to fill his game libarary as most games for the 360 are availble on PS3.

You should ask him to give it back first. If he says no, then say you're gonna take it, but there's no point in being forceful if you can still work it out and not offend him. (That is, if you haven't already taken it back)

I have a similiar question. One time, my PS3 was broken, and my friend, out of the kindness of his heart, told me that I could borrow his Xbox. Sadly, for the past year I couldn't find anyone who could fix my PS3, and when I did find someone to fix it, I couldn't afford it. Just recently, my friend came over and wanted to play. I told him that he couldn't, 'cause I had bought him a game he had really wanted for New Years and I had been testing it. He took it personally. I think I'm going to give it to him tomorrow.

Seriously though, you didn't do anything wrong.

I am amazed that you did not take it back months ago. I would have even offered to fix the PS3 as a Christmas present.

Wow, at least let him keep it for another year. Really harsh bro.

These, its your Xbox. He took advantage of the kindness, so take back what is your's.

So, you volunteered to allow your friend to use your property free of charge, and after a significant period of time, requested that friend to recompense said property? And you are the one who is feeling guilty?

» Sun May 13, 2012 2:43 am

I don't think he had intentions on giving it back.

» Sun May 13, 2012 1:43 am

His games were based on a borrowed asset. He was simply paying them all back, in a whole package. If he didn't foresee that, he's an idiot. Your verbal agreement is fulfilled, contract ended. Or you may come to another term, let you have the PS3 instead, if he cannot give up the 360. Either case the debt has to be paid.

Sounds like you're nice to a fault OP. It's a shame that people take advantage of nice people, but that's the way it is. Take it back and don't feel guilty. You've already gone out of your way to help him as much as you can.

Your friend is an [censored] and you're a wuss for not taking it back a year ago, not sure what there is to post about.

Just get a new 360 with these easy steps:

Step 1: Buy some duct tape, a magnifying glass, a 40-HP motor, a pocket knife and a pair of shoelaces
Step 2: Call MacGyver

Enjoy your new Xbox!

So his console has been fixed for over eighteen months, and he still has not returned yours? The only thing your being is a carpet

.

If you ever do the same kind of thing again, as soon as you find out that the other person's problem is sorted say something like, "Awesome news, now you can play your games again! How 'bout I drop by on __day, pick up my xbox, and we can play a few rounds of ____?". That's nice, tactful, and still assertive.

if he has absolutely no clue you took the xbox back, then he might even think it was stolen, i'm interested in hearing if the friend tells OP if the xbox is missing

Offer him the oppurtunity to buy the console off you for retail price or take it + the games back. Your 'friend' has taken advantage.
