Re: [Xbox] Re: how can xbox warranty run out in may this year?

well, i don't think they are allowed to do that by law, at least in the states

  Well but it was a replacement tho... That's the trick.  If I did that as a company I'd be more than happy to chop that sucker down to 90 days even on a new replacement product to get outta the other 9 months!   It may have just been a fluke on that one, thankfully we haven't had that many floating around!  On Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 5:16 PM, PRoPHeTiZeR <prophetizer@wrup.net> wrote:   

   that makes sense, i don't think they could actually take that warranty away on a new replacement box  PSCG Cleveland wrote:   And I added, on the one replacement box we got that just happened to be NEW (only like a couple weeks Mfg Date), they extended the warranty 1 year from that date. On this one in transit right now - less than 90 days, similar to what Proph said.

Why those rat bastages! LOL Eh, I was thinking it was nearly suicide to guarantee a refurb'ed 360 for a year... I mean if your first dumped out near the end of the first year and you get a new one, 2nd year you're covered! And if it goes again... then you've got a 3 year 100% coverage warranty between the overlaps and the RRoD? Gimme that any day!   I still don't get why MS doesn't directly offer an extended warranty on these stupid things... Guess they figured they'd make more in charging for repairs than they would getting people to hedge their bets with ext warranty dice rolls! Hmmm, business sense says... <buzzer> Wrong! $50 for 2 years (let's say) from 2 Million people is big bucks compared to all the rest of this. Least in my book.

'MS won't call you a liar and take it back'?? Ya, I'll believe it when I see it, I know 2 people who've had to have repairs out of warranty done and both did their best to get it in as a freebie - miserably failed. One was returned COD for the shipping costs and the other ended up being charged before they'd fix the problems it had. No 'grey area' or 'honor system' on the RRoD stuff, where's he getting that idea?   And since we're only getting half the story, what's the babbling about warranties ending earlier than they should? MS clearly states 1 year on a new system, they were giving 1 year on replacement/refurb/fixed boxes as well (if they chopped that to 90 days quietly I wouldn't be shocked) and then it's 3 years from the manufacturing date on the rear for any RRoD's and I haven't seen a peep about that changing. MS's got enough going on not to be stupid and change that plan! They'd get lynched immediately.

Everything else is covered under the 1-year warranty. Of course, if you just say you have the RRoD then they'll be forced to take your 360 back whether it actually does or not, and since it can be intermittent they're not going to call you a liar.
