Well, console is just over a year old and I am now getting this error message. I have set up the repair with Microsoft, but I don't know what exactly is the problem. Anyone have any experience with this error? Aside from extending the RRoD warranty to cover this error, I thought I may have also read that MS had possibly been offering refunds for the consoles with this error. Am I going to get back a repaired unit whose days are numbered? I can't believe I paid for the elite and got just over 1 year of use out of it before it crapped out on me. I don't know what to think. I want it fixed, but I don't want a bum unit that may crap out again on me. |

What they send back is good enough that they're willing to extend the warranty. I'd take it. Unless, of course, you can get a full refund of your purchase price or something, and just go out and buy a new one. But then, again, you had a new one that only lasted a year, so I dunno if that feels any safer to you.. The one I got back after mine finally RROD'd (within six months of the warranty being due to expire, so I'll take that warranty extension with a smile) has been just fine. |

I have also had to return mine for service due to RRoD 3 or 4 months ago and the one that they sent is just fine (knocks on wood). |

I sent mine in for RRoD more than a year ago. The one they sent me back had a funky disk drive. It doesn't want to open all the time and sometimes won't read the game disk. I called MS about it right away and they told me that if I wanted that fixed I had to pay for the extended warrenty. 'For a machine you just sent me?' "Yes sir, I am sorry.' ..l.. Don't get me wrong, I love my 360 but that just pissed me right the hell off. |

My other concern is I have worked for UPS. I have seen how boxes can be handled, especially one of the size that will contain my Xbox. (TOSS - CRASH) I am more concerned of the additional potential damage it may incur while in transit. MS isn't sending me a box, I have to package it myself. I stopped at the UPS store and they will package it for a price. I may do this and watch over the packing process to ensure it is snugly wrapped to my liking. *grumble* On the plus side, I just realized that my copy of Resident Evil 5 came with a free 48 hour membership to Xbox Live Gold. I can download the Versus mode for RE5 now, I just don't know if it is offline VS as well as online VS. I'll have to wait about a month when I eventually get my system back to find out.... *re-grumble* |

MS insures the coffins (even when they make you dig up the box for it now, they still pay for the shipping). I think they included a one-month Gold subscription card with my returned X-Box. |
