Everything that came with your 360 including the box with the serial #. Also, your receipt for the console and warranty.

Did you use the Best Buy card when you bought it? If you did, then they will have that information in the computer.

Also, if you wanna keep you hard drive ask them to take the one in the box and let you keep yours. If they say no, tell them that yours has personal information on it, or just as for a core.

Take all the cables and controller if you want new stuff. You can keep the HDD though.

I might be a little late, but I just bought a 360 with the warranty and the guy said that you can bring the receipt but if you lose it, they have you in the file so you don't need it. But having it wouldn't hurt either. Whichever way, you are safe.

It's $79.99 for a 2 year PRP on the Elite SKU.

what about for the premium, and with that i can just bring in the xbox and theyll give me a new one on the spot.

cause once i had a PRP for a mp3 player and i had to call and mail it to them then they sent me a gift card for the cost a few days later.

I work at best buy. If u paid using a debit card credit card or best buy card they can look up your receipt there. If you paid by cash there is no way too look it up unless you used reward zone.

You dont need to have everything. Whatever you bring is what you're gonna get in the new box.

If the warranty brochure was printed through their recipt printer, then those numbers represent your warranty claim number (should u ever need it) - and you should have no problems at the store

On the other hand, if they just took a rubber stamp with their store number and stamped it ona warranty brochure, then there is no proof you actually paid for the extended warranty, and your SOL

when I bought my warrant last year from EBgames they lied to me. The sale person said I could use it more than one during a years time if a problem happened. 8 months later and apparently its 40 everytime it breaks if you want the warranty again. I am not a big fan of the disposable warranty

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!! the Best Buy warranty worked when all i had was the warranty brochure with the verification stamp; however, it did require that all materials be with the console because i forgot to put in the headset, so the employee said they had to open the new xbox 360 to remove the headset, but that is no big deal

well i could have, but i didn't; if i were to have left my harddrive at home then they would have taken the harddrive from the new xbox 360, but i didn't bother, because i didn't have very many "in-progress" saves
