360 serial number

Can anyone check for me if the Serial number on their console is the same as the numbers on the white sticker on the side of the box it came in.

Sorry for the new thread but might get a little more attention.

Edit: Also can anyone check the HD-DVD drive addon serial against the box too. Cheers.

I've got both in front of me but can't seem to find the serial number mentioned on the box? If you can point me in right direction I'll post back straight away!

Yeah I can't find my 360's serial on the box at all. There's a cardboard flap on the outside of the box which lifts up to reveal the back part of the console with the serial number so I would've thought that'd make a serial number sticker a bit irrelevant? My 360 is quite old though so I'm not sure if it's changed in recent months.

Pretty sure theres no serial number on the box mate, there is a gap on the box where the consoles serial can be seen however! Maybe you getting confused.

Why anyway?

Cheers for the replys lads/lasses. I was curious as to what the sticker on the side of the box was. I was hoping it was the serial..

As for the reason. I was robbed the other night and thye took my 360 .. The police need to know anyinfo on the console to see if they can match it with any the find...

I never regestered the console with MS so I cant see the info on my xbox site.

I think your bad luck should be a lesson to us all to either register our consoles or to take note of these things as they are quite attractive objects to the modern thief and my condolences on your loss

I agree. I think we should all take some sort of security action with our consoles and games. I was asked by the investigating PC if I had marked anything with those UV pens or whatever they are.. I didnt

I am getting one of thoses pens next week and marking EVERY single DVD, game and AV equipment with my name and post code etc. You never know.

Anyway the police maybe onto something anyway regarding the culprit..
