    xbox 360 elite guarentee/warrentee

    Hi,

    I have just bought a xbox 360 elite off of ebay and i was wondering if anyone knows how long the guarentee is for them as it is a year old.

    The seller thinks it has a 2 year one and i read somewhere that xbox's have 3 years?

    It will still be covered for RROD for another 2 years, but the standard warranty that covers the DVD drive and pretty much every other component lasts a year and therefore has run out.

    Will appear on the front.
    Ring up the helpline, they'll send UPS to collect it at your chosen time.

    lol !

    Being a uni student and all i can't really afford to buy another 360... i'm annoyed that i can't play mine (especially Fallout 3 ¬.¬) but ultimately it's a good thing since i spend too much time on it compared to time spent doing assignments lol

    Doesn't mean i can't be annoyed though

    i hear the latest 360's (elite's and normal i think) have supposedly been cleared of the RROD problem. So, if your 360 does pack in, if you choose to get another one, it should never have the RROD problem.
