  Excellent!  Mine's stayed the same so it'll be tomorrow for sure sadly.    Well see they aren't selling it as new.  It wasn't sent to me as 'new'.  It was mfg'd so close to when they sent it to me it couldn't help but be new, no way in that short time period to have been distributed, sold, returned, returned to MS and anything else done to it.  Save possibly like defective power brick or something?  Regardless, it was sent to me as a replacement unit and not in original factory packaging.  Best you could hope for would be the balance of your original warranty period, some States allow that, but 90 or 365 days - sucker was still 'used'.    I'm just happy as a clam their system thinks it's a 1 year!  I'll take what they're giving...  Still curious to see what's going to pop outta the box this time tomorrow though!

i get mine today now, fedex site says its on the truck for delivery in my location, w00t  and that might be MS's fine print, but i still don't think they can do that, change the warranty on a new product?  hmmm, i'll have to ask some of my liar, er, lawyer buddies this weekend    PSCG Cleveland wrote:  Actually if you get really bored and go read all the fine print that was pointed out, they actually can do that. Nothing stated as to what you'll get back. It's their option to repair or replace and replacements carry the 90 days now (apparently, maybe always was?). When we had that one flipped around Sept. '07 it came back as a brand new unit and with a 1 yr warranty.   My only afterthoughts now are that maybe it's all triggered off the serial #'s and mfg date. Since the unit was new-off-shelf and the serial # never tagged as a refurb/rebuild of any kind, their system still thinks it's 'new' and went off the mfg. date with the standard warranty they offer.   Only 24 hours until we both gets ours back via FedEx and find out what's what!

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 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.
