Merry Christmas from Microsoft: 360 Warranty extended to 1 year

Look for this news to hit tomorrow.

The 360 Warranty will be extended to a one year warranty.

Anyone who has had repairs done within the past year will get a refund.

Awesome news.

Thats good news for all Xbox360 owners out there, especially since this is retroactive.

Lawsuits are popular these days. Latest fashion trend.

Sony & Nintendo both already offer 1 year warranty as standard practice. To offer anything less would make it seem that you aren't very confident in the manufacturing or overall quality of your product.

So if i shows up, consider this the early leak.
If you must know.... someone supposedly has an inside track on the MS press releases, and leaks them early.

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on December 22, 2006, 07:52:00 AM: Well maybe not Sony (I've never owned a playstation, I just assumed), but with all the complaints, I figured they had to have long warranty program inplace. I guess I was wrong, but my point still stands, Sony manufacturing and quality is apparently shite & I guwess MS thinks they finally got a handle on whatever their problem was.

Post by: Renny on December 28, 2006, 06:07:50 PM: Sony only offered a 90-day warranty on the PS2 for years. One of the changes with the PS2-two was the extension of the warranty to one year. I think.
