Xbox threw in the towel

Bugger - I knew it would end up like this!!

But I purchased 3 year product warranty last year with argos when microsoft were only dishing out 1 year so I have 3 options.

I cant remember exact date but I am hoping its inside 1 year that means I could go into argos. Hand them the console and go home with a new one.

Or if (knowing my luck its out by a few days) I have to claim on the incurance does any one know how this works with argos?

Would it be easier with microsoft? I have 3 years with both but I did pay for one!

Help greatly appreciated. Gutted if I am just out the 12 months as I will have to wait to get the bastard thing back!!

Thanks

Go with the Argos one, as its likely to have a replacement than have it repaired, where with the xbox one it will probably be a repaired console.

Yeah they said they will send a voucher for replace at least it is guaranteed to be new!

Do you think argos really check the dates on receipts

Also I have no box, this wont be a problem will it?

[Polarbert]

Should be alright.

Failing that, you could borrow a box from someone else who owns a 360. Return the console and then give them the packaging from the new one you get.

Good idea

I doubt it should be too much of an issue

well I hope not!

If you take it back to the shop, remember and remove your HDD or swap it in the store. You will have to be signed on to xbox live if you want to play your purchased (arcade) games as a new xbox will confuse your downloaded content, if xbox live goes down you have no full version arcade games because the original xbox your purchased the game on will be in the big xbox cloud in the sky. Just worth noting. Also (Accidentally) forget to put your controller with it, and get a new one

gamestation wouldn't let me do that, they told me that the the exchange would have to be the whole system including HDD, so I lost all my game saves

i wonder if you could have taken the hardisk apart and copied over the hd files to a PC?
