My friends tell me that they don't really check it most of the time and just give you a brand new one. I don't want to pay $100 for a harware failure Microsoft is responsible for thats just ridiculous.

I think its a bad decision trust me. Don't you think microsoft is going to check the system first like if has been tampered with, modded, ect. If microsoft finds out they will send your 360 back, blacklist your name at the repair center and customer service as a scammer and won't even offer to repair your 360 anymore.

it works defeinetally ive done it twice and several of my friends have. so dont believe the hype the only check for warranty is the phone call. i even got a letter both times telling me other stuff was broken like the dvd drive and it had been replaced which dont come under this warranty, but they still fixed it

dont you think that ms would pay someone to get on websites like these and read how people are trying to swindel them. pay the 100 bones and move on. and i know someone is going to say well ms should have made a good system. well nothings perfect. cars dont last forever right you have to replace parts on them. what about refrigerators. you have to replace filters and do maintenance. same with shoes etc. just pay the money b4 they catch on and actually just send you your system back with no fixes. if i were ms i would put a sticky note on your xbox and say nice try.

My friend got the hardware failure and called it in as a RRoD, he got a refurbed one sent back to him. I think Microsoft just removes the faceplate to see if the sticker is torn off or ripped and that's basically their test. With all the RRoD I don't think a support team goes through each one and see if it's actually RRoD.

I've sent in a 360 3 times, only once was it an actual red ring. They didn't care, and one of them I said 'it works but there is some static in the picture' and they took it back for free so go for it man.
