I suggest to those who have bought a launch console to stick it in the oven with the door half open and the power turned on ASAP before the guarantee runs out!

I got my xbox repalced this year, so I still have tons of time, remember if they give you any trouble just keep complaining that you just got it replaced and it hasn't been nearly 3 years even though the manufactures date on the back may say its been 3 years.

"Any Xbox 360 customer who experiences a general hardware failure indicated by three flashing red lights will now be covered by a three year warranty from date of purchase. All other existing Xbox 360 warranty policies remain in place"

that means come november all 360 users who bought it at launch will be on their last year. So my question is, when the warrenty drops and you get RROD after, what will you do?

sparkypants

still covered for at least another 2.5 years seeing how the warranty starts over with a console that's sent in for repairs. I'm not worried. :)

I got mine in July... with the Futureshop 3-year warranty that covers everything in the box including the red-ring with instant repair and/or replacement. So mine should be good until the end of the generation. Plus, those who experience it after the three years have had three good years already so why should they complain? Microsoft still offers it's repair service, you just have to pay for it... like with most Nintendo and Sony hardware which only have one-year warranties on their consoles.

then you obviously don't know anything about what you're talking about. BTW...I went through 4 PS2's and Sony NEVER did one thing for me so does that mean that all companies must have horrible customer service?

Well it all depends, was the PS2 under a warranty when it broke? if so then yes, that is bad Customer Service. If it wasnt then well there isnt anything they can do. Im just saying Iv never heard of a company reseting a warranty after you get a referbished 360(under the same warrenty). I dont think it resets I think they keep track of the first system you buy and any replacements are added to the records. I think the warranty only covers you for the 3 years you had your first system.

Im pretty sure once your 360 RROD's, the one you get back has a further 1 year warranty. But dont quote me on that.

pay the 100$ repair fee, after 3 years i think you should have to pay for a repair if needed

Yup. Amazing how so many people expect electronics to be covered forever. Like I said before, atleast MS had the balls to admit their problem rather quickly and offer the 3yr warranty instead of claiming it was user caused problems. Hi Sony.

What are you referring to? When my PS2 sony replaced it free ... twice.

And it was about 2-3 years after it was originally purchased.

After that it broke one more time in 2006 (the old models ate dust and got DRE problems quickly). Unlike microsoft's 100$ Sony only charged me 40$.

My gamecube broke the same night and nintendo charged me either a bit less or a bit more I can't remember.

what every normal customer does......lie about when u got ur 360Microsoft1234
Thats not easy, though MS only know the manufacture for certain.

All i had to send to them to show i had bought it months after its manufacture date, so that i would remain in my first year and get general faults fixed was my play.com receipt which was VERY skimp on details, all it really had was purchase date, i couldve easily photoshopped it out
