MS is updating the warranty for the Xbox 360 to three years for any issues with consoles dying from the three red lights. Not only that, but they're making it so all repairs are now free, and anyone who had previously paid for repairs will be reimbursed.

This is really awesome...

This is good for all those people that are having problems. I just heard about this too. Pretty cool. Major Nelson has an interview with Peter Moore about the warranty on his blog.

THat's great and all, just wondering what's the point of getting a warranty if all repairs are free?

I would assume that's because if you're still under warranty, they'll give you a refurbished system if you ask for it, instead of your repaired system back. But if you don't have warranty, they'll probably just try to repair the one you sent, and send it back to you. I don't think you'd be able to get a new refurbished console if you don't have warranty.

Xbox 1080 will be made before 3 years is up, who cares.

And it should be a lifetime warranty, not our fault they have 3 year olds putting together their consoles.

With this new development, I will not be getting rid of my 360. I can also see a spike in 360 sales once the average buyer gets wind of this. Many of my friends were worried about purchasing a 360, but now they will most likely purchase one.
