Man I was just coming here to post this, haha. Yea this is awesome news, especially for anyone who had to pay to get theirs fixed.

hell yeah, good news for me... im hoping mine breaks just so i get it fixed to be right -- so far no problems, but if its defective and will eventually break, i want it to do so soon...

Mine already broke about 2 weeks after i got it in November, but i still didn't have to pay. Guess I got lucky.

So basically if you bought your system on LAUNCH Day then they are giving you a 1 year warrenty from that date???

That means they are only giving you a 2 month warrenty if you've had no problems so far..

My luck my 360 will bite the dust sometime in December and I'll just be all around Screwed..

"We've made the decision to comp repairs for consoles manufactured before January 1, and provide refunds to the small group of customers who have already paid for repairs," Microsoft said.


This is hilarious. Mine broke, but had a manufactures date of Jan/06. The unit they sent me back was one of the original toasters and has a manufactuers date of 10/05. So I'm covered for another month or so. Let load up Saints Row. I hear that's been causing alot of havoc on the 360s:p

Great, I got mine in February. :(

Hope I never see the Circle of Death....

Us brits get a one year warranty as standard anyway :D Guess thats the benefit of it being more expensive :(

I purchased mine from Circuit City along with a 2 year warranty (@ a reduced price) just to be on the safe side. So I should set through Dec '07 :woop: .
