This kinda sucks. By the time microsoft is through, you'll need to buy a whole new 360 due to all the improvements.
I think my drive might be beginning to go..it makes a terrible racket when playing Gears, but so far still operates ok enough that I haven't sent it in. I wonder if I send it in if I'll get the quiet drive as well..
I got the warranty and plan on using it (I already replaced my Launch unit under store warranty before I had any problems -short of a few random lock ups).
I have a new two year warranty now and plan to exchange it for a new 65nm "quiet" one at the end of the year. :smile:

Do people use those warranties to exchange units which aren't even defective? Does the warranty allow that?
depends on the store
I had a small store honor it because I'm a good customer and my launch unit was hot and locking up occasionally which was not a fair trade off for me to have to worry about considering I paid for an extended warranty.
yes, generally a few stores extended warranties consist of a no questions asked return policy. I used it on my PS2 which had problems with the DVD drive, they didnt even ask or check the box, just brought it back with the receipt and they dropped a new one in my arms. Thats only if you paid the extra money for the stores warranty though.
Presumably that involves cutting a warranty sticker to open the new XB360, and if someone else gets it, they're scuppered if they need to send the XB360 off to get repaired?
dunno about that. i saw my friend doing it right in front of me
That strikes me as a thoughtless, gittish act. You'll be screwing someone else over, cannabilising their console. I'd be extremely miffed if someone stole bits of my hardware and gave me 'old and inferior' instead. But then, there's a lot of thoughtless gits in the world who'll happily screw someone else over if it benefits them...
its possible with other hardware as well. there should be something like online registration to prevent this.
Online registration isn't going to protect people from removing components. The warranty sticker is there to preent that. You can't open the machine without voiding the warranty. Ultimately, if we're going to say it's not individuals' responsibility not to be gits, it's the shop they're returning the item to who have to refuse the refund on the grounds the warranty has been voided. (Assuming there's a warranty protection of sorts. Does XB360 come such that anyone can open it up without leaving evidence of as much??)
There should be something like ethics to prevent this...
