Microsoft Extends 360 Warranty to One Year

Gamasutra reports that Microsoft has extended the warranty on the Xbox 360, giving consumers one year from their date of purchase to receive essentially free repairs. This is being done to put the U.S. and Canada in line with the warranty offered in other parts of the globe, and is retroactive. From the article: "... [C]onsumers who may have already paid for an out-of-warranty Xbox 360 repair within one year of purchase will be eligible for reimbursement of their console repair charges. Microsoft notes that those who have already paid for such repair charges within their first year of ownership can expect reimbursement checks for the amount of their console repair in approximately 10 weeks. The company adds that reimbursements will be automatically distributed, so customers do not need to contact Microsoft directly."

Does that mean it's now the 365?

360-365

Hehehe. That's what I originally thought the article was about. A 360 day warranty replaced by a 365 :) That was actually rather funny :)

(As for the poster: XBOX360 would've been slightly more clear....)
