Wooo, go MS!

I just called in becuase I got the three red lights today. :[ I was playing GTA IV and it stopped and went dead.But I called MS and they said since my console was out of warranty, they'd give me a free 1 year warranty and a free 3 month XBL gold trial for my inconvience! Hell yes!I hope it doesn't take too long to fix...i've heard some horror stories of people having to wait over a month! Wooo, go MS!

I don't think you could have had an Xbox that long. They didn't really give you a free 1 year.But the 3 month Xbox Live Gold is pretty nice. Sweetens the pot.Wooo, go MS!

It's better to wait a month than to never be able to get it fixed... like me :( They lied so many times! So now i have my 360 with warranty from shop that just gives you a new 360 and takes old one away same day :)

During that time period they fix any problem your xbox has.Because of RROD problems MS spent over a billion dollars on repairs, and extended the warranty to 3 years, but the last year ONLY covers RROD issues.That's the background info on it. But yea, just be happy it's getting fixed :) Plus you got 3 months of live out of it so not too shabby. Sucks that it died during GTA4 though. I bet it was like a bad dream.

Spent over a billion dollars to fix RROD? OUCH...
[QUOTE=''Elann2008'']Spent over a billion dollars to fix RROD? OUCH...[/QUOTE]No, they set aside one billion dollars from their profits from one financial quarter to cover potential RRoD repairs. That is how much they think the might have to spend in their worst case scenario. There's a big difference between a company setting aside some money in case of trouble and that company acutally spending the same amount. They don't expect to use all of it, believe me.
