Xbox, MS 3rd repair = New Xbox :-)

[SMlFFY]

Just recieved my xbox back after its 3rd repair in a year to find they have replaced it with a 'replacement unit.

Looked on the website and found the warranty only lasts for 3 months!!!!

It was Manufactured 10/10/2008 so surely I should have the full 3yrs warranty on it? Shouldn't I?

Also what cpu will be in this one?

Thanks in advance guys

Nope I've asked them. The warranty goes from the date of your original console. You get 3 years from that date not the new console. I have had the same thing.

To extend the warranty each year its £24.

Well that's crap don't you think!!!!!

Surely it should go from date of manufacture of the refurbished xbox?

Think I may have to get in touch with MS and if no joy then go to trading standards

You get a 1 year warranty from general failures and a 3 year warranty from the date of purchase of the ORIGINAL 360.
The replacement unit does come with 3 months, however if your original warranty has longer left on it than that then that will take precedence.

Let's hope this one is one of those 1 in a million consoles that last longer than the norm.

Also, as it was made on 10/10/2008 will it have the smaller micron CPU and GPU in it?

it looks like it must be the Opus then as it has no HDMI port. So should run cooler then I guess?
