Insurance jobs mate

House insurance average excess £20-£75...they send in the "Broken" xbox they've just bought or whatever item, claim on house home contents, and they get brand new or equivalent back. Well thats how its always been explained to me, lol

Causes the board to overheat/solder to melt. Certainly didn't fix my launch day console when that got the RROD....
