You pre-ordered a 1st gen X-Box? Bold move

Yeah, after the 360 the very least Microsoft would have is a longish warranty in place. I'm confident though. A massive screw up like RRoD cost Ms money, time and image and didn't help them sell consoles at all like we're led to believe. I was more surprised I could actually pre-order it to be honest... Wonder how many people were before me.

I was a bit annoyed with MS's warrenty when I got my 360. I bought an extended warrenty from Best Buy expecting my 360 to break, and then MS extended their warrenty to 3 years. Who cares right? Well Best Buy said that MS also mandated that all RRoD problems be sent to MS. MS sent me a broken 360 first, and wouldn't sell me an HDMI model (which has much better reliability). Anyway that 360 also only lasted a bit oer a year, but I bitcched at Best Buy and they game me a new 360, HDMI model. This was when they just introduced the Slim, so BB wanted to get rid of their old stock.

Still....it was a headache, I have enough 360 games now to last me until I'm sure Nextbox reliability is better. There is no guarentee that it will be better.
