They aren't handing their repair people 300dollars to walk down to gamestop and buy you a new console, that is ridiculous. |
That still is not how it works. Every damaged return will be inspected if it is worth repairing or not, nothing is "repaired immediately". Every repair centre had/s a pile of already repaired units, a pile of damaged units, and a pile of new units. Depending on how high these piles were, and how long the centre can delay sending back a unit, you might have received a brand new unit. There were many reports of people getting a new unit, not a refurbished one.
