Yesterday I had stated that I was going to get my Xbox 360 today, i'll be leaving in a bit to go pick one up. Before I go I want to know one thing, how much is the extended warranty, and is it really worth it? Before you answer you might want to check this out and tell me what this is all about http://digg.com/gaming_news/The_Real_Story_Behind_Extended_Warranties_and_Xbox_360

MS offers a 2 year warranty for 40 bucks which is better price than other retail stores. MS pays for shipping, i'm doing this right now i have a warranty from gamestop but my 360 is freezing on me so i'm going to exchange it for a new one and just go buy the MS warranty instead.

any warranty is worth it for the 360. but when i first bought my 360, MS had a crappy warranty policy. but they changed it now so i'm going with them.

So is this warranty something I can buy during the 1 year warranty? How do you pay for the MS warranty after calling 18004MYXBOX? I realize i'm asking lots of questions but I dont want to spend $400 on a system that has problems after year.

i think credit card over the phone, and money order/check by mail. as long as you are in the 1 year warranty, you can apply for the extended.
