Pissed! Bought an extended warranty!

Recommended Posts

Two days before Microsoft announced that they were extending the warranty for 3 years for their Red Ring of Death problem, I called them and bought the 2 year extended warranty for $60. I did this because my 1 year warranty was just about up and I had a horrible time with the Red Ring of Death back in Feb. Now I feel really ripped off! Any advice? Should I just keep it? Can I cancel? Will it extend it to 5 years? I guess I should just call, but I just had to vent a little.

I'm in almost the same boat. I got my 360 about a month ago and also go the 2 year extended warranty. I was hoping they'd just tack the 2 years onto the included mfg warranty. I should probably give them a call to see what's up.

Don't be pissed at all...

 

Your extended warranty will cover everything, for instance, I've sent a 360 back because it would freeze up playing PDZ and I've sent a 360 back for a blown ethernet NIC. In both cases it cost me zero $ to fix (except the $30 a year for the warranty) and I had my 360 back promptly....Neither one of those issues is related to the red ring.

 

It's worth it to keep your extended warranty even in light of the 3 years for the red-ring of Death warrenty news, a lot more can go wrong with a high tech machine like the 360 than the red-ring. So chin up.
