Warriors Come Out And Plaaaay!
$99 bucks, free shipping both ways, fixed and a 1 year warranty, plus a month of xbox live free.
That's what you get if you go online and set up repair. Quick, easy and done in less than a week. Honestly, the FASTEST and best support I've ever had. I was ready to be pissed when my LAUNCH unit finally threw up the rings of death after 4 years, but they turned that stuff around so fast, and without paying more than the $99 (you know how most places are..+$shipping, +$return shipping, total $129 or something) plus the month of xbox live off was just great. Wonderful support, IMO.
Just ordered the 250 GB wireless xbox for the living room, and the launch unit is going to the den as the kids' play and movie device. This is in prep for the Kinect coming from Santa this xmas (already preordered, with the Dance game, the animals game and the sports game as well).
I used to be a hardcore sony guy...PS2 was my nirvana..but once I adopted the xbox a crack formed...the xbox 360 completely overtook sony and I've never even wanted a PS3 for a second.
Shoot I wish I would have know that about 2 months ago. Ours got red ring also. I just went and bought an arcade bundle for $149. Got 2 games free and just put my hard drive in it. So it wasn't that bad of a deal. I am also thinking of doing as you are for xmas with another system and kinect. I thought about buying a ps3 this year but the kinect technology made the decision a lot easier. plus xbox live is far superior.
