My 360s warranty is going to be up in September, unfortunately, it hasnt RRODd yet, so im hoping that if it does when i send it in, ill get a HDMI system. What are the chances?

Well, if they replace it instead of repairing it, then you will get one with HDMI.

Hmmm thats odd, I have an Arcade and it's coverage ends in November. But my console has HDMI. When was your Xbox 360 created? Mine was 11/11/07

I'm pretty sure you'll get an HDMI XBOX back..because the fixed/reliable consoles from my understanding have a better chip inside and those happen to be only the HDMI and higher ones.

I repair Xbox 360's and have sent more than 20 to Microsoft.

You will NOT get an HDMI console back if you send a non-HDMI console. No chance.

They will either fix your console OR send you another refurbished console of the same type (Xenon for Xenon, Falcon for Falcon, Jasper for Jasper, etc.)

ZERO chance you get anything different back.

Not true.. I have had different models sent to me on at least 4 different times.

haha I wondered the same thing and when my xbox broke it was replaced by a standard old console without HDMI. Microsoft wouldn't give you a better console back unless your lucky like some people in this thread apparently. HDMI aint really what its cracked up to be though, I just use the hd composite cords and I got a pretty picture.

there is NO chance that you will receive a HDMI console. they have plenty of refurbished NON HDMI consoles stocked up to send to people like you.

Its funny how people still continue to say this although at least 3 people in this very thread claim they have, indeed, received an HDMI console when sending in a non-HDMI console...

I've had my xbox replaced twice since they had the HDMI's on. No HDMI port on either. It sucks.

I know they do give them out, but they have more non-HDMI ones to give people that are "fixed"/no HDMI.

Okay thanks for the replies, its just that they are going to stop producing current 360 models when the slim comes out, so i dont how much of an affect it will have on my chances of getting a HDMI 360 back.
