Lol you won't get an Elite or a Halo 3 console. You will get a simple white premium.

A paper, not the paper. The problems have been published before, Microsoft will send you the exact kind of 360 you sent them. You might get a free game, its happened before, games like COD2 and PGR3 are common, but a better version of the 360? No way.

But your house didn't go up in flames. And are you saying you want another copy of COD3?

Well Microsoft doesn't just call you up and say hey, you've been through 4, let us give you a brand spankin new Elite to make up for it...no...because many people have been through 4 (or more). I just wouldn't get my hopes up for anything outside of a cheap game or a headset.

if ya read terms and conditions im canny sure they will of covered them selves for any damage caused by using the xbox, its not like they are known faults of it being faulty to the point of setting on flames, no doubt they wud just pass the buck onto the setup in ur homes electrics or some other factor and just sort ur xbox out. they arnt going to be bothered about the press, not like faulty xbox 360 is new news. i doubt they will do little more than repair replace ur xbox and maybe give u some free xbox live time or a **** game. u probs have to take them to small claims court before they will shape up to anything other than they own standards

I got mine 360 back from the repair center earlier this month and the only thing I got for all of my troubles was 1 month of free XBL. It's pretty worthless to me since I use my credit card and the $50 automatically comes out every 12 months.

Yeah, I had this problem 5 times now. I did the stupid thing and returned it through Futureshop. Microsoft gave me the "Well, since you returned it through Futureshop, we are not liable to give you anything in compensation for your loss. If the problem persists, please send it back." bullcrap, and after the 4th time Futureshop just gave me another 360, not new, not old.

When mine broke I got a lovely 1 month free of x-box live. Which is totaly useful concidering I already pay for the service. That one month free card is the worst form of compensation.

Mine broke 2 weeks ago and it took 8 days just to recieve the box to ship it to them in....shipped it out today and I don't want a crappy free month or so of XBL. Did you guys have to really complain a lot to get the free game(s), wireless headset, charging kits, etc.???? I will do whatever I can to squeeze a little extra out of Micro$oft for my inconvenience.

Yeah, they offered me 1 month xbox live gold....and get this...the free month of gold is not on top of the time you are out an xbox. Which in summary means it is no compensation!

for the most 1 month is not a compensation as that is the time you missed from your real live membership during repair. wow wireless headset. sweet i would love getting m points, hardware or games but not gold...pls no gold... well still its my third time except for ups' stupidity its been 1 week now and their sending it back tomorrow
