I keep my receipts till the warranty is up. I know exactly where my 360 receipt is right now. :)It's not that difficult to file away a little piece of paper. Especially when you consider what the cost of replacing such a piece of hardware.

Vista sucks because it has driver problem and sercurity problem and it takes like a whole month for a fix to come out.Xbox 360s breaks alot but its ok I send it to them and they fix it in like only a month for free.I don't get how the first is so bad and the second is so good to so many people on digg. I could get if you had one console break and they sent you a fixed one but their are people on here that have had two or more consoles die and they are still a OK. I just don't get it.

MS would not repair my failed 360 due me owning more than one console and not being able to provide proof of purchase from a listed retailer. What a crock of crap. I own 8 consoles and all of them got the three red lights. Because I submitted them all for repair, MS accused me of stealing them.

Microsoft does not look out for the interest of the customer. They are an outsourcing global source hog, which buys out its competitors in order to giant a greater monopoly on the market. Why give Microsoft more money when you can keep it in your pocket. Save that money, for the pricey games, costly live service, and that cable modem bill. I am finally making money from Microsoft and comfortably studying at law school. With an Xbox 360 Repair Guide you fix any Xbox 360 yourself forever for FREE. Screw Microsoft and fix your Xbox 360 yourself, and if you want to Screw them more, buy their broken products and fix them yourself in less than an hour.<a class="user" href="http://redringxbox360.com">http://redringxbox360.com</a>
