Question About Using My Best Buy Warranty on my 360.

So here's a kicker. I bought a 360 two summers ago with a 2 year Best Buy warranty. Last night, it red ringed after freezing several times. My warranty is up on July 18th so I very much lucked out. This was the "Pro" System back in the day. (20 GB hard drive.) I paid $299 for it and still have all my receipts and paperwork. Anyways, my question is, I'm going to venture in there tomorrow and replace this thing, and does anybody/employees have any idea how they will go about this? (Besides being difficult, probably.) Like, they don't make the Pro anymore. They make the Pro Arcade, but this retails for $179 when I paid $299. I called earlier to corporate who informed me they will match what I paid for it as long as I can prove I paid that much for it (which I can.) So does anyone know if I'll end up getting something else for it or......? Thanks guys.

Well since Microsoft stoped making the pro models i doubt they will have some in stock.So if they said they will give you a match for what you paid its a good chance your either going to get a elite console or the new Xbox

Is this the original warranty they used to do or the black tie one?

I doubt it. They'll get rid of whatever they have stocked first.

Bit of an update for you guys. I bought my warranty in July '08. Apparently starting in September '08, they ship it out, but before that, they have to exchange it in store. I was informed I will either receive a console of equal value ($299) or buy it off of me and give me the $300. (They're out in my city's Best Buy, Nashua, NH. But they do have them in Salem, NH.) So either way, I will probably be picking up a free slim because my 2 year old Xbox red ringed.....AMERICA.

Great deal. I guess paying for that warranty really helped in this case. I am in Manchester, NH myself. Try Best Buy at the Mall of N.H.
