I sent mine in, got it back in about a week. Then about 2 months later it had another hardware failure so I just sold it on ebay and bought and Elite so I could have HDMI. I think if you buy one that was made before March or April this year they have a falcon chip in them that prevents the hardware failure.

Or where you just fed up with it that you didn't care to try and get it fixed?
I'm debating about reselling it as well after it gets fixed and doing the same as you. Don't the new premiums come with HDMI as well?

Harriet Michaels: Do you actually like haggis?
Charlie Mackenzie: No, I think it's repellent in every way. In fact, I think most Scottish cuisine is based on a dare.

Does that seem right? Yes. A refurbished. There was a letter that said they were giving us a refurb.

Sending one they've already fixed decreases the turnaround time. Rather than waiting for them to fix your own console they can just send one they've already fixed, makes no difference really.
I made a mark on mine to see if I'd get it or a replacement, it was a replacement.

They would have fixed it but I really didnt want to bother with it so I sold it and got 100 bucks out of it on ebay and bought the elite on ebay too. Yes I do believe the new Premiums come with HDMI.

Well now with this price drop, it kind of hurts my resale value. Might be hanging onto it now.

What do you think would happen if I sent mine in claiming the red rings but it doesnt have it. Think they would repair it anyway?

I realize the whole "if it aint broke, dont fix it" saying, but my warranty is up in Sept 08....which is weird because I thought the warrantys are for 3 years. Anyway, stuff tends to break on me after the expiration. My luck right. I wonder if its worth a shot.

Yeah... I thought that all warranties were extended to 3 years. After your replacement comes back you get a 90 day warranty. (if memory serves)

They kept telling me that I needed to make sure it was the 3ROD otherwise they would have to charge me for any repairs that are done to it.

Turn your xbox on and stick it somewhere with no ventilation, it'll break soon enough.

After your replacement comes back you get a 90 day warranty. (if memory serves) The warranty was extended for 3 years for the particular hardware failure associated with the ring of death. Anything else and you're pretty much SOL (and if you don't know what SOL means, it means you're shelling out several hundo for a new 360).
