Is it true Microsoft sends you a refurbished 360 after sending yours for repair?

yes, they send you a refurbished one. their factory for fixing them has a pile ready to go as soon as they get yours in and check that the seal isn't broken. speeds up the process, can you imagine throwing all the old ones away? i returned mine 3 or 4 times. ask for a free game for the inconvenience; they'll do it.

Thanks for the help guys. Any suggestions if I should return it and pay the fee for a refurbished console or just buy a new one/or a PS3?

Hi guys I just sent mines like 5 days ago now it says its in repair progress, this is my 3rd one? Am thinking of telling them for a free game, but how would you go on telling them to gve you a free game, since when I called them 3 days ago, I told them I should get something free and they hesitated but finally said they would only give me a 1 month xbox live, but I already got live?

I've returned mine twice. It is the same exact console that I bought from the beginning. Might be a regional thing or something.
