another victim bites the dust

Where did you get it and how long have you had it? You have three years through MS with the ring of death, in which they send you a box, and you ship it to them to get fixed/replaced. If you have a store warranty, like through Best Buy, you swap it out. Hopefully you have a store warranty, if not, your 2-6 weeks without a system.

:confused: got it from walmart for xmas.....:confused:

[cjones]

Call up WalMart and ask. Does it have a store warranty

[resnor]

Just go to Walmart, and tell them that you just got it as a gift, and it's not working. Tell them that you don't have a receipt, but that the person who gave it to you bought it at Walmart. Walmart will, or they should, allow you to exchange it there for another one, as they have a no questions asked return policy. Otherwise, you'll be waiting 6 weeks for your replacement from MS. They might even let you get an Elite, you'll just have to pay the difference in price.

Yeah, you can pretty much return anything you want to WalMart. You can return an old ****ing game in a new case and get another new game.

Yea there is a post where someone did just this because someone else recommdend it because THAT person did it too.

So you'd be like the 3rd. Walmart will take it back, dont even bother with Microsoft. all the shipping and waiting.... bleh.

I was listening to somebody talking to a store employee there and she said people bring in used bottles of lotion for a refund. If they take back used lotion they'll definitely take back an XBox 360, lol.

Walmart will take back stuff they don't even sell. I've even heard of them taking back ammunition (which is illegal, luckily I also heard they don't restock it).

[Warbuck$]

I've always had difficulty returning items to walmart. I was once refused a refund even though I had a receipt. Honestly, not sure why I even shop walmart. I can only remember one good experience out of many, many bad ones.

Call 1-800-4MY-XBOX.
They'll ask a few questions and instruct you from there.

They'll eventually send you a box to send the X-Box back in
- and they'll send it back free of charge.

It takes 4 to 6 weeks.

Yeah, it takes six weeks...give or take a couple days, lol. It's much easier to just take your broken 360 to Walmart, and exchange it there.

First off, make sure its the right red rings. Not the "power cord isn't plugged in properly" ones.

i replugged everything and it came up the same =/

[Roachk1lla]

honestly you want to send it away and ahve it replaced. You could get a new xbox from the store but more then likely in some time that one will to die out. RIght now the average wait time is approx. 3 weeks from the time it leaves your house in the box to go to mcallen,TX. I have just went through this and personally, the new machine is much better with the new heatsink and new chip. Its much cooler and quieter.

I agree it takes 4 weeks. You will get a new one. I just got mine back and it was made on 8-27-07!!! It is not a referb.

[sitinon32]

Send it to M$. They stopped sending refurbs out. U get a BRAND NEW system that will probably be manufactured within 2 weeks of your recieving it. If you bring it back to the store, check the manufactured date by flipping open the tab on the box that allows you to see when it was made. get one made after July 1, 2007. I swapped my premium out for an Elite.
