sometimes places have a warranty plan where it starts after the manufacturer's warranty ends. So it might've been that they extended the microsoft warranty by two years. So microsoft covers the first year and then they cover two more years after that. However, if they only cover two years from the date of purchase, it's absolutely future shop's job to handle all the repairs, because you're paying for a year that they should have to honour.

Yes but Lando, the Microsoft tech told me that Futureshack should've repaired the machine themselves since I purchased the warranty extra. He said that in my case, Microsoft should be considered a safety net when it comes to warranty and repairs.

technically speaking the big box companies like futureshop, best buy, et al. sell those extended warranties on top of the manufacturer's warranties as lando said
unless everything has changed since i left north america that is

yeah, so if it's not an inclusive warranty, but an EXTENDED warranty which only starts once the microsoft warranty period ends, then it's microsoft's job to cover it if it's within the first year of you owning it.

Well either way, it still sucks!
Would it still be possible to get a refund after owning it for 10 months? I wanna return it and buy the 1337 system from Best Buy or EB.

I can't believe both of your 360's died within days of each other.
I'm glad mine is still running strong, and my system was born back in December of 2005.

I know PS3 doesn't get a lot of love around here, but...
PS3 + 40" HDTV + Resistance: Fall of Man + 3 other people = win
Dear god I can't wait for FF13... even if the story is shit, it will be mind-blowingly pretty

I played "resistance" and I enjoyed it about as much as puking in my mouth and swallowing it.

Lando (or anybody)......any idea where I can find the audio of the Xbox360 loading sound. Also the same sound you hear when the logo pops up at the end of the game commercials.
I want that sound clip for my phone. If anybody can track it down; you get sweet man love from me.
Gracias.

Some rather large Microsoft/E3 rumors.

Does anybody foresee any of this as true?

Crap Bag is still without a 360.

If I were sony, I'd fight tooth and mail to keep mgs.

I'm thinking that'll happen. I can't see MGS leaving.
Then again; who knows.
