Hello

My release day Xbox finally gave up the ghost the other day and it has been sent back to Microsoft. The console was in immaculate condition, what am I going to get back? The same console?

It doesn't look good that under 'My Devices' at xbox.com it has disapeared!

Thanks,

Steve

I went through 14 of the release day machines On a few occaisions I had a replacement unit, and on other occaisions I got the same unit back (after being fixed). Didn't seem to be any pattern....

Just sent mine back (release day console RROD) hope I get a new console How the hell did you manage to break 14

Hopefully Easter wont slow the repair down too much -- in the meantime I'm back to using my original Xbox for streaming movies: It is still quite impressive all these years later!

I've had the RROD twice on my launch day machine. Both times I've got the same console back, both times the motherboard has been replaced. With the second repair they also replaced the DVD drive (it still sounds like a jet though!)

don't worry about getting a "non immaculate" one back, they usually come back looking brand spanking new!

i could have sworn that mine was a brand new machine, judging by what apeared to be new plastics (or do they clean them?)

And they won't last that long anyway. I am currently waiting for two 360-consoles being fixed. Went through 5 units so far. Currently it's the Wii that I play with.

Mmmm. This one wasn't so bad --- a couple of years. I think it was "Sing It's" fault as it finally got fed up with people singing badly and committed suicide.

They new ones are ok, it's the original batch that were dodgy.

On a related note - think my PS3 is going wrong now

Lad at works PS3 has given up the ghost!

Laser has went **** up and Sony want 100quid from him to replace it ?

My console was shipped back yesterday, so I will see today or tomorrow what console I get back.

It was quite quick and painless, I'm impressed.

Blimey thought I was doing badly with 11 in 26 months the worst lasting 13 dasy before failing. I got mine upgraded to an Elite as an apology but that packed uop also so bouyght an Arcade and that has not missed a beat in 6 month so the cheapest one has been the most reliable so far no doubt due to the new chipset , heatsink etc

I got a back a different console, although it looks new with a manufacture date of Jan 09.
They also sent a 1 month subscription to Live as a 'sorry'.

What happens regards the warranty? Will I get a new 3 year RROD warranty when it comes back?
