they'll just send you a refurbished one to replace the one you sent, then someone else will get your old unit after it's been repaired

The console they send you should be fixed of the red ring of death error. However, I did recieve a refurbished console that initially worked great but ended up giving me the red ring of death error a year later. You are covered for 3 years after your purchase of your XBOX console for the red ring of death error. To answer your other question, you recieve a 90 warranty after they ship your new console out to you.

Did you buy a brand new one? It shouldn't have done that but they give you a free month of XBL every time you have to send it in for RROD.

When they get yours they automatically send you whatever they have available. I got one that had a manufacture date of 06/26/2008 so I'm guessing it has the new chipset. But you never really know.

You get a warranty of 3 years when you buy a 360 from Microsoft, as long as it doesnt expires you can keep sending it in, a friend of mine sent 14 consoles because each one kept getting RROD until they gave him a Elite and a warranty until the ends of times, dont worry about it.

I agree. I dont trust a refurbished console, thats why I just bought a brand new one.

you dont trust the company that made it to be able to repair it? so you are going to spend $400 when you coud get one for free? thats pretty dumb.

The console they send you should be fixed of the red ring of death error. However, I did recieve a refurbished console that initially worked great but ended up giving me the red ring of death error a year later. You are covered for 3 years after your purchase of your XBOX console for the red ring of death error. To answer your other question, you recieve a 90 warranty after they ship your new console out to you.

The warrenty is one year if you pay the repair cost and 90 days if they fix it under warrenty. I found this out the hard way when my refurb that was given to me to replace my launch box died after 4 months. I am now waiting for its return from the repair center.

If your xbox dies after say, 2 days of owning it they will fix it for free but the one refub they will give you only will have a 90 day warranty. I had a long argument with them on this point being absurd since I had nothing but problems with my reburb I got from them. This is only for everything BUT the RROD.
