No they haven't I belong to costco.  Consoles can still be returned anytime the change in policy is mainly for Computers, projectors, mp3 players, Televisions, camcorders, cameras and cellular phones.  They did this because they have 100% satisfaction guarantee and people were keeping TV's for 2 or 3 years and taking them back to get the newer models.  The same was going on with computers.  You can thank crooked consumers for that but still with those items you get an additional 2 year guarantee of it breaks so you are covered!  I just bought a TV there so if it breaks 18 months from now they will exchange it for me.  That's a great deal.  I know a few people that brought their RROD consoles back to Costco and they replaced them on the spot.  That's much better than getting a refurb!

  Ya but just because it says Ground delivery, doesn't mean it stays

on the ground the whole time it's in transit.  So yes, it can go ground

in semi's to their Ft Worth hub (it appears) and then gets slingshot'ed

through the air to the various master hubs.  You've got one up there

in Chicagoland that has an airstrip.  Ours in Cleveland doesn't, it's

gotta land at the airport and then get trucked out to the giant sort

facility a little south.  That extra bit means we couldn't get a 1-day

like you're saying.

  Who'd you have to call to get a tracking #?  I'm just looking on the

Support site where you fill out the ticket, etc. and it shows the S/N

of any box(es) you have registered under that Live ID.  Nothing about

delivery dates either.  Since I've had no e-mails from MS on this

go-round, they posted up the tracking # on the Support site and

I've had to do the rest from there.

  What's the FedEx tracer saying for an expected delivery date?

i understand they make airplanes, but it says ground delivery, and no, i

called them today to get the tracking number.  says delivery today, but

doesn't make sense.  fed ex site hasn't been updated since yesterday

morning, which is more weird, like it never made it to chicago, figures

 Eh, they make airplanes? Did you scan the tracking # at FedEx.com

to see

it's estimated arrival date? And they sent YOU e-mails and not

the rest of

us? I feel insulted now! LOL

 Dallas/Ft Worth is one of the largest FedEx

Hubs and you happen to

live in one of the heaviest action territories.

There's so much junk going

from down there to up where you are - they pack

it all in planes and

airlift it. Tons faster and cheaper, a 747

cargo-modified can hold the

contents of about 15 semi's. That's 15 less

drivers to get paid and about

55% less fuel than all those trucks at once.

And like 4-5 hours transit

time vs. 18+ long-haul.

 So ya... it's possible.

BUT, check the waybill tracking # to see when

FedEx says it'll be there. And

you'll know when it's 'out on truck for

delivery' that your local guy's got

it and he'll be there whenever you

normally see them zip around dropping

things... off. <Grin>
