im getting a 360 today and i talked to the ppl at EB before and they said the 360 comes with a 1 year warranty from microsoft if the system malfunctions.  they also said that i can buy a warranty from them which also covers accidental (which i dont really care about), but for theirs, ill have to pay each year to renew it, and i dont want to have to pay for the first year while still having a warranty from microsoft, and then if i do renew it, ive wasted $100 already. so, my question is, do most malfunctioning 360s show signs of not working properly or break within the first year? or does it usually take more time? thanks

I'd stick with M$ warranty. You have a year, and there is an extended warranty in the box. I'm signing up for it when my year is nearing it's end (the year of my warranty).

is the extended warranty only one more year? or can you keep adding years after the additional one? and also, how much is it?

I got the 2 year warranty  because I had red ring of death on mine... I'd be careful... the microsoft extra year policy is $60, which is cheaper than eb .... thats a total of 2 years...
