Well here it is guys. Micorsoft has announced that it is extending it's warrenty from 1 year to 3 years.

For me this is great, as mine has failed once already (in 4 months).

Chat it up guys i want to know what you all think.

Really, there are so many threads on this. We don't need another one. We're all very happy, and it'll certainly boost sales, but there's no need to start a new thread.

Ah, if we're lucky this one, or another will get stickied so we don't end up flooded in them. It's big news though, so it's understandable.

I think it's great news but was wondering about something. If you need to send it in for repair, will you need proof of purchase like a receipt?

uh no, they determine how old it is by checking the serial number on the console. This way they know how many years you've had it for and if you qualify for a free fix-up.

Ive been a loyal fan since i got my first 360 in April of 2006

I lost my first 360 in November for the 3 rings and had to pay. I was soo pissed!!

Then i got my second and it died on me in May of 07. And i had to pay half of the original price.

When i got my 3rd one it died less than 2 months later.

My parents tell me to give up on it but im sticking with it.

Im soo glad they're doing this.

Too bad they're only refunding cases where the red lights flashed. My first 360's video card fried and the red lights never appeared. Looks like I'm screwed out of this one....

the new warrenty is only half as good as it sounds seeing that it only covers the peeps with the ring of death and nothing else . so if your disk tray is messed up or anything else that doesnt give you the rod regardless if your console bit the dust you still gotta pay!

Beside the fact that its all over the web and in the newspapers its also listed on the home page here on GS. Now on the to the new 3 year warranty, they could give me a 10 year warranty I would still want a reliable console. I don't want to spend the next 3 years sending my console for repairs every 3 to 6 months. They have stated that I guess new parts or extra parts are to be installed in all repaired & refurbished consoles & they have had mine for 3 weeks now so until I get it back and try it again I still stand very unsatisfied.
