They replace the console with a previously refurbished one. You won't be getting the same console back.

Nokkons right, just claim 3rrod on that sucker.

They stopped trying to fix individual machines before sending them back as it took too long for something with an inherent flaw so instead they send you an old one they fixed.

Ah right. But it is 8 months out of warranty, or should I just forget when I bought it?

Get a replacement drive off ebay n fix it yourself?

I would just try and force the matter to be honest. It's well known every model released at launch was inherently faulty with Microsoft admitting as much. They added a 3 year warranty, but surely if they (microsoft) admit to every unit having a design flaw they don't have a leg to stand on.

You could try and get a drive and fix it, the disadvantage there is you lose all warranty altogether, with a refurb you get another 12 months. Personally I'd just try MS.
