  • Xbox 360 Now Xbox 365

    Goodness sent from Camp Microsoft today.  The 90 day warranty for the Xbox 360 has been extended a full year. 

    Dec. 22, 2006

    Microsoft Extends Xbox 360 Warranty to One Year

    Shoppers can buy with added confidence this holiday season as Microsoft expands its warranty for Xbox 360 from 90 days to one year.

    REDMOND, Wash. Dec. 22, 2006 In a move to benefit customers, Microsoft Corp. announced today that it will change the Xbox 360 warranty from 90 days to one year from the date of purchase in the United States and Canada. Microsoft extended the warranty in these territories to be consistent with the standard one-year Xbox 360 warranty that is available throughout most of the world. The news is reason to celebrate this holiday season; it applies to both would-be purchasers and those who already have Xbox 360 and are still within their first year of ownership.

    Effective today, the one-year warranty is now the standard for the Xbox 360 console. Customers who experience hardware issues with their Xbox 360 within one year of purchase can have their consoles repaired at no cost. Moreover, the new warranty policy is retroactive, so consumers who may have already paid for an out-of-warranty Xbox 360 repair within one year of purchase will be eligible for reimbursement of their console repair charges.

    Customer satisfaction is a central focus and priority for the Xbox 360 system, said Jeff Bell, corporate vice president of Global Marketing for the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft. In addition to jaw-dropping features such as high-definition graphics, an amazing catalog of over 160 games, and social online and entertainment experiences on Xbox Live., the Xbox 360 system now offers this extended warranty upgrade. It is truly the industry s most compelling home entertainment offering.

    Customers who have already paid out-of-warranty repair charges within their first year of ownership can expect reimbursement checks for the amount of their console repair in approximately 10 weeks. Reimbursements will be automatically distributed, so customers need not contact Microsoft. Customers who have questions regarding this policy change or experience any hardware issues should visit http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/contact where they can check their warranty status, find troubleshooting information for common issues and find Xbox support contact information.

    About Xbox 360

    Xbox 360 is the most powerful video game and entertainment system, delivering the best games, the next generation of the premier Xbox Live online gaming network and unique digital entertainment experiences that revolve around gamers. Xbox 360 is expected to have a catalog of 160 high-definition games by the end of 2006 and to be available in nearly 40 countries by the end of 2007. More information can be found online at http://www.xbox.com/xbox360.

  • Gamefly Top 10 for the Week!

    Unlimited Video Game Rentals - Start Now!

    Here is the ol Gamefly Top 10 most requested list.  Xbox 360 rentals clearly are dominating at this point, while the Nintendo Wii and PS3 owners wait patiently for Santa...

    My guess is that 'must have' next gen games like Gears of War, Zelda (Wii) and Resistance (PS3) are purchases versus rentals.  This would explain why they are not at the top of each respective list.  Rainbow Six Vegas is at the top of the Xbox 360 list with Lost Planet not far behind, while upcoming/new releases for the Nintendo Wii (Castlevania) and PS3 (Fight Night) top their respective charts...

  • Finish the Fight... and the Web Servers...

    Halo 3

    The Halo 3 hype machine kicked into full gear today as the ESPN Monday Night Football Halo 3 commercial and multiplayer beta signup began (at Halo3.com).

    Halo3.com seemed to take the initial rush fairly well, but the Halo 3 Beta registration servers were down for a good couple hours before, during, and after the Monday Night Football commercial.  The registration was as simple as logging into a Microsoft Passport account, filling in your address/etc and clicking to register (no questionaire provided).

    Microsoft knows it has a monster on its hands and is using it to grab every gamer that can't get their hands on a PS3 or Wii this holiday season!

    Good luck to all that registered!
