Xbox 3 red rings (again)

Vanquish-Storm · 14 Oct 2010 at 20:57

Well my 360 has just gone kaput for the 2nd time in 12 months.

I had it repaired about a year ago for the red ring (under the 3 year warranty) and now im having to send it off again.

I thought that my warranty had ran out but according to them its still in warranty (shhh dont tell them) until March 2011.

Does anyone know how this new system they have works? Ive booked it in for repair but thats it theres no more info. Last time they told me what part of the UPS site to go to so i could print off some documents and arrange collection. All the status says now is awaiting for collection (which i havnt arranged) :confused:

Pretty miffed now as ill have 2+ weeks with no xbox, guess ill have to do some work instead

I had my launch day model repaired by MS about a year ago too,its out of its original warranty now but do they add a warranty to the RRoD repair ?

They give you a 3 year warranty only for the RRoD.

Do you get any added warranty after it has the RRoD?

thats basically what i was asking

Iceman · 15 Oct 2010 at 19:35

Wouldn't have thought so but im not 100% sure. Most companies dont give warranty on top of warranty if you know what i mean?
Its normally 3 years from date of purchase, after that your possibly on your own.

well i could be wrong but the elite wasnt at the xbox 360 launch, only the premium pack or the core pack was. your elite could be about 3 years old if its the 120GB one though. i still have my old 20GB premium which was manufactured in sept 07' however it did go for repair and it seems to be fine since, however i upgraded to a xbox 360 s 250GB as i needed the space and its really amazing how quiet it is compared to the older non-s models.

think it was august 07 when the elite came out

forgot to say they want £82.50 to fix an out of warranty machine

plus they give you 1 month live on top
