Xbox 360 vs. Playsation 3

[KingRanger]

All XBox360's when purchased new come with a 3 year warranty through Microsoft. Depending on where you bought your system, you should have a 30 day warranty automatically. (You couldn't speak to a manager? This is why I buy from GameStop. Did you know that there is always a manager on duty and behind the counter at any GameStop? We would have just swapped you out right then and there!)

360s can overheat easily if you do not take care of them. Do not set the system on a carpet or small area. Give them air to breath. Do not leave the console on if you are not using it.

You might have just gotten a defective. Do not let this one incident discourage you.

I feel I need to make a correction here. They all come with a 3 year warranty ONLY IF IT RROD's. If you have to send it in for any other reason it will cost 99.00 if you fill out the online repair form or 119.00 if you do it over the phone.

About the original posters out of the box and it is broken thing... I call shenanigans. If you buy it and it is defective right out of the box the store MUST take it back and give you a replacement system. This goes for all stores. The only way you don't get this return policy is if you bought the system at a pawn shop or some other non new system place.
