The SoGA is inherently woolly with terms such as 'reasonable'. Inherent fault or not all products have a reasonable lifespan. I doubt you'd get much sympathy if you claimed in 10 years for a 3RROD fault, for example.

In the meantime...

No idea if this works, but it's funny none-the-less

Problems still aren't fixed in the new models. I had a Falcon core with all the new jazzamatazz and it RRoD 2 months ago, luckily only a few months old so Gamestation swapped it for a brand new one no hassle.

Nothing is infallible, however they are greatly improved.

RRoD is the "general hardware failure" error message. which can be anything from board, chip, psu or drive failure.

which is why the new ones will still fail with the same error visibly, though possibly different symptoms.

With regards to RRoD here, my first console died in March 2007 which I swapped with a new one at GAME. Does the 3 years now start from when my new console was built? I.e December 2006? Or is it 3 years from the console launch?

The new warranty applies to the new machine. Game should habe supplied you with a new proof of purchase but if not MS can use the X-Box serial number to determine day of manufacture.

If you'd had it repaired then the warranty/guarantee you received on the repairs would apply.

Nah GAME never gave me poor of purchase

forgot to ask as well, doh!

Anyway details on the back of new/old console is December 2006

so I'm good for another 12 months!

Pete's Xbox was returned yesterday. I'm quite impressed with the trunaround. They have actually replaced the unit which was quite surprising. I'm wondering if this a newwe model. It certianly seem quieter. Anyway to tell?

Also, does this mean the 3 years warrantee starts from here, or the original purchase date?

leowyatt · 06-11-2008, 12:00

do you have a HDMI port on the back?
