I sent my xbox 360 in (and got it back the following week which was awesome!) and I got an little surprise as well!

They included a one month subscription to Xbox Live Gold and they gave me a grey faceplate instead of my boring old white one.

Good to see that their repair centers are going the extra mile in getting our systems back ASAP and adding a little bonus.

Anybody else experience this?

I bought my 360 and it had a free 1 month gold pass. I think its because of that Arcade Unplugged (idk whats it called) that came with it. Too bad I didn't get any faceplate:(

Very true Darthshinzo!  I'm sure they would've put any color faceplate on there if it did break;).  Thus, it's nice to see that all my discs are playable again though.  Thanks for the responses too guys, hope you get your 360s back in one (working) piece.

I didn't get nothing extra, but I got mine back in 4 days, so that counts as a bonus I guess.

I ended up with 3 copies of Perfect Dark Zero!

Thank you for breaking Xbox 360! I got to have 3 copies of one of the biggest let-downs ever!

nice surprise... one month live and faceplate... wow

 

more like nice joke... a surprise would be giving you an elite instead, or a new game, or letting you slap gates for making you pay for repairs

When I called the repair center after my second xbox crapped out on me, the customer service woman told me that they were going to send me a free game. I got the choice of PDZ, PGR3, and Kameo. This was quite a while ago though, so I dont think they still do this.
