Refund for anyone who paid for repairs.

**Mister Chief** · 07-05-2007, 01:24 PM

Dun dun dun.

Guess the very high failure rate may have been true.

**Sonoe** · 07-05-2007, 01:24 PM

Kl nice find

**Abe_Froeman** · 07-05-2007, 01:25 PM

That's big, and should keep a lot of haters happy.

**Moose** · 07-05-2007, 01:30 PM

I think it is

This is great!

**DeMoN X** · 07-05-2007, 01:43 PM

It's about time. But its still a "quick" solution to a long term problem. Get the hardware sorted MS.

Is it the same length of time for UK warrentys? (Since we already get a year, By law.)

It says; International, so yes it is.

They've already started adding an extra heatsink to them and they're due a major hardware revision whenever they get the new chips ready.

Yeah, I heard about that but as far as I know thats still not a long term solution to the 3 red lights.

Here's an interview about the extended warranty: http://kotaku.com/gaming/how-microso...hts-275378.php

**Anti-QuickJay** · 07-05-2007, 02:48 PM

Sweet!

Very good news!

**albertbertal8** · 07-05-2007, 02:56 PM

Awesome, I was a bit worried that my 360 would get the 3 red lights once the warranty expires.

**Macca** · 07-05-2007, 03:54 PM

Major Nelson has an interview with Peter Moore on his blog about this.

_twopoint · 07-05-2007, 04:09 PM

This means 3 years from when you bought it right?

If it does, this is some anus, I got mine on release.

**Mister Chief** · 07-05-2007, 04:11 PM

I'll listen to it.

**user friendly** · 07-05-2007, 04:45 PM

Mr. Bach = gentleman

An apology and 3 years, just what the doctor ordered.

**whitehawk** · 07-05-2007, 04:54 PM

So does that mean you'll still be holding off getting a 360, or will you now take the plunge after E3?

**ReneX** · 07-05-2007, 04:54 PM

awesome i really need this phew 3 years

Pretty much as soon as I can get my hands on one of the Elite's, once they start production with the 65nm chips.

Yes.

Its not "anus", Its awesome.

**Shatterdome** · 07-06-2007, 12:29 PM

I hope mine craps out once they get the 60nm chips in there....I still have 1.5 years to go...

Man, I almost took my 360 apart a week ago to do the fanshroud mod, and give my case a custom paint job, since it was out of warranty....good thing I didn't....

**user friendly** · 07-06-2007, 12:31 PM

Im still going to wait. Iv'e waited this long it would be silly of me to caev and buy one when they are redesigning the mobo.

**Synyster gates** · 07-07-2007, 01:32 PM

Now you're just being illogical. You're choosing to wait for a product you obviously want, out of fear of something that may or may not happen,
despite the fact that it's covered buy a three year warranty.
And there is still no guarantee that you'll ever have to rely on that ridiculously long warranty.

I mean whatever it's your money and your choice. But it seems you're trying to find every reason not to get one, all consoles eventually break.

**Anti-QuickJay** · 07-07-2007, 02:14 PM

I got mines in December of last year so i have like 2.5 years left.
^.^

user friendly - If you really do want it I think you will just get it.

**KINGOFNOOBS** · 07-07-2007, 04:28 PM

Does this mean if I get a broken 360 off ebay for cheap I can just send it in and get it repaired for free?

Yes.

But, lets hope it doesn't get "lost" int he mail.

**ElDom** · 07-07-2007, 07:32 PM

Yea, now every 360 is under warranty (for red lights, not dead DVD drives).
So just go get one, and get Gears.

I want a unit with the newest quietest drive, 65nm cool as ice chips and probably a new mobo design. Is that so wrong? If I get one and it's as loud as the one I borrowed off my friend, then it's going back. I don't want to have to deal with it and I am fine with waiting. Just because MS extended the warranty just means they're probably a lot of consoles out there that are still too susceptible to the RROD. It's going to take a while to weed out those consoles and I don't want the hassle of waiting weeks before I get my console back because I had to ship it back to MS (or the store I got it from, for that matter). It's not illogical, I'm just in no rush.
