Didn't Microsoft extend every warranty with 2 extra years a while back??

My friend's 360 also had the RRoD a while ago. At first he thought about trying that trick that's on the internet, then I asked him if he didn't have that extended warranty thing, then he decided to have a little fun by smashing the console.

I was asking if this was an american only thing as I remember it as well, but maybe it only covers RRoD?

And Cam is too honest to lie about it or something.

I am not sure how things work in the US but in England there is a company called Trading Standards. If there is a similar US version get in touch with them.

If this were my 360 this is what options I have.

In the UK all 360's have a 1 year warranty. BUT this is the retailers warranty. Microsofts Manufacturers Warranty is three years, but you dont always get told that. This is because it is the law here for such things to have a minimum expected life span.

For example if I bought a TV in Currys (A large electronics store) they will try to sell me extra warranty, this is their Retailers Warranty though and is all a con since a TV has a lawful manufacturers warranty of 3 - 5 years.

As for paying for shipping, well over here it would be illegall for a company to charge me for shipping for one of their own faulty products. This bill is their responsibility.

Basically what I am saying is, Dont Get Done contact your local trading standards office or citizens advice bureau (or similar) before you pay a single penny.

so if I wanted to send my 360 to repair, which my brother bought from england, they wouldn't charge us?
