I'd get it sorted asap. It'll only die on GTA4 release day or something equally as annoying

On a side note are people using the standard 3 year warranty or did you take out the extra protection 360 service contract?

Thanks Just want to make sure mines covered in case it breaks.

I just used the 3 year warranty. Didn't pay for the extra protection.

Anyone know how long they're taking at the moment? Need to send mine back for the 4th time

Going on ebay when MS have finished with it. Great platform but I'm fed up with **** quality hardware

About 2-3 weeks I think

Spoke to a very camp man at Microsoft on Sunday and UPS have already been today to collect the unit! He obviously liked the cut of my jib.

Condemned 2 arrives at the end of the week, but I sense at least one weekend of just sitting and reading the manual. Gives me a chance to get some emergency pants on standby though I guess.

Status has changed to 'device received at service centre' (even though I know it arrived two days ago...), so seems very likely I'll have it back one day next week. All in all it's a pretty slick service, but I guess they've had the practice!

Unf unf unf! Got the console back today - mobo and DVD drive were both defective apparantly. It doesn't sound like 'my' Xbox any more because of the new drive, if you know what I mean!
