Shop or Microsoft?

Ok so i've just got the 3 red lights appear on the console meaning a hardware failiure, I bought the console in October last year so who is my one year waranty with; the shop (GAME UK STORES) or Microsoft.

In other words should I take the console back to the shop for a replacement or send it off to Microsoft for repair?

Don't I have a 1 year warranty with the shop as standard,as it's UK law?

Bring it into the hsop before October. Seeing the 3 red lights doesn't always mean death, though. I get 1-3 lights every once and a while when I turn my system on. I just turn it off and then back on, and presto. Never crashed once, either.Staryoshi87

Freezing occured quite often before the 3 red lights came up so i suspect it does meen a hardware failiure

The 360 comes with a 90 day warranty to Microsoft but if you purchased a warranty at the shop, then bring it to the shop. imjusthatawsum

Manufaturer's warranty for the 360 is 1 year. I heard that Microsoft puts a new heatsink in 360's they repair now, so that might be something to consider.

No. UK law is one month of shop warranty and at least one year of warranty at the manufacturer. Which would be Microsoft.

I know, because we have the same law in the Netherlands. You can call the shop to clarify though. Maybe they did gave you a year, but it's not law for them to do so.

That would explain why they keep mine so long. I want it back already.
