Send in broken 360, get the slim model?

I was just wondering about this. Microsoft if phasing out the "fat" 360 and having the "slim" version as the only one avaliable. So in a few months when the slim model is the only one you can find, if your old 360 gets the rrod and you send it in, would Microsoft send you the slim model or just a refurbished fat one?

I sent my older 360 in for RRoD and they gave me a similar model (no HDMI port)...so i'm sure they'll send you back a refurbished one

No. They'll fix it or send a refurbished one.

Common sense says Microsoft will have PLENTY of "Fat" 360 refurbs to send back to customers for the next few years.

If you sent back a standard Xbox 360, they tell you to keep your hard drive and faceplate. You get back a slim model.... your hard drive is incompatible. You would get your same system refurbished, no doubt. It just couldn't work.

Veeery highly unlikely. There's millions of Fat Xbox's that will need fixin. lol

Sorry, buddy, they've got whole warehouses full of refurbished 360s. You're not going to get a free upgrade.UT_Wrestler

LMAO!!

Really the only way to get a chance at a free upgrade is if you bought the normal xbox 360 at Best Buy and got a replacement plan. If and when your Xbox 360 dies and if the only price equivalent model they have available is the Xbox 360 S then thats what you will probably get. That's a lot of "if"s though.

Sounds like a good idea but when you think about it its a very bad idea. If they sent you a new xbox 360 S, you'll get just the console itself. Which means you would get no hard drive or the appropriate power cord to even get the thing running. So you would end up spending just as much finding those items as you would buying it new.
