This is certainly good news for XBox360 owners, especially ones that got faulty XBox360s made before 1/1/06. And those that had to get their XBox360's repaired are supposebly getting their money back from Microsoft.
Free Repairs for XBOX 360s Manufactured Prior to 1/1/06
Microsoft to offer free repairs for XBOX 360s manufactured before January 1; checks to be mailed to customers who have already paid
Well here's a bit of good news for XBOX 360 customers who've seen their console go up in smoke within the past year. For customers whose XBOX 360 console was manufactured before 01/01/2006, you are now eligible to receive free repairs should your console need attention. Customers who have already paid for repairs will receive checks in the mail within 5-8 weeks to cover their costs.
Confirmation of Microsoft's change of heart was first reported on the official XBOX Forum. A number of forums posters have confirmed the news and say that Microsoft is due to make an official announcement today with all details.
For those of you who have an XBOX 360 manufactured after January 1, I give you my condolences. This news comes just a day after Microsoft announced the Japanese due date for its XBOX 360 HD DVD drive and that it would add 1080p support to the XBOX 360 via an upcoming software update.
