UPS came by today and collected my X360, it is now on it's way to the European Repair Centre and I should have either a brand new 360 or my current one repaired within 15 days. I hope it takes less time but still at least now it is in the process of being fixed. When I get it back I intend to get GRAW2 I was gonna get it this week but after this problem I decided to hold off on it.

I hope it doesn't take as long as 15 days but I wont hold my breath none on it, I have heard that the whole procedure aint exactly the fastest thing known to man. I will keep posting here about my own experience of dealing with Microsoft on this so others will know if they need to do the same within the UK just how you get treated. So far all is well, no issues with customer support or the courier services.
