yea. i want a 360, but i heard that the 3 year thing will cover any problems that you may have after purchasing it. is that true? i'm jus speculating at lookin at stuffs.

Absolutely not true. The extended three year warranty only covers the RROD.

>>a MONTH?!?>>

i'd be well pissed!

-LukeMy Flickr
yea i am....but its working right now, but it freezes once in a while.
my buddy went through 5 xboxes in one month. whenever he got the rrod he just went to walmart and exchanged the systems in the boxes then said it was DOA when he got it home. much faster than the 1month wait from microsoft.

Whats the difference between rrod and the other?

have had 4 break, i kid you not. the last one was a brand new elite. waiting to get it back... again kindasad.gif

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.
damn. well, i guess i'll be me one but start a ps3 fund as well cuz i want both n once i get the systems i'll save for an HD television cuz i have an old model 63" DLP without it only with component :\ i see the diff in 1080i vs 1080p..sucks cuz im picky.

If you have that kind of money to burn because you dont want to wait for a month for a free one then you need to open an IRA.

waaaa, my xbox got the RROD but i called and gonna get it fixed
I don't feel like reading, but having gotten the RROD 3 times, I have experience tongue.gif

i only had to keep 2 of the systems, and the last i gave back to gamestop as a trade in, but the RROD is NOT BAD.

You get a BRAND NEW system most of the time when you send it in for repairs.
also, if the system in old, after getting it repaired from the RROD(only thing that allows a 3yr warranty), you get 1yr after the repair.
