"MS Lengthens Warranty period"

Clicky

MS have come out and basically admitted there's a problem with the 360, and are extending warrantys to 3 years.

Thoughts?

No because MS have the money to do it and they're in for the long haul.

I think it's a good move by Microsoft to admit there is a problem and extend the warranties.

OK it would have been better if the fault wasn't there in the first place but at least they're making up for it.

Isn't this the worst console mistake in history? I mean it's going to cost Microsoft $1billion. That's what? 2.5 million 360s and they've only sold 11.6 million.

I'm glad MS are doing this but then it would have been much better if they didnt sell a faulty machine. I'm suprised more people havent ranted about this. I guess the Xbox fan boys have been too busy bashing PS3 sales. =/

Indeed.

It would be classic if they stop producing the red leds.

If my understanding is right (I haven't read the link but I have read the news elsewhere on some site...) then the warranty is only extended for those with the 3 red light problem then?

New from Argos, probably thrown around a bit. :-P

Managed to get hold of a new one though from another Argos which hadn't run out of stock and all is well now. Oblivion is lurvely. :)

Was it new or secondhand and where did you get it? (So I can avoid them). Hope your next one is a good one :)

I got the 3 red lights today, didn't even get to put a game in. :'-(

I think it's great news, but then i'm still on my launch console and haven't had any problems *touch wood*
