"Other consumers have complained of sending off their Xbox for repair only to get a different refurbished unit back."

I don't get this one quote. I mean, isn't that how things are supposed to work? It works to make the turnaround time faster (you get a "new" one as soon as they receive yours).

Yeah, people just don't understand repair processes.  I used to work at BBY sending off hundreds of customer units for repair.  If they give out refurbs, they're doing you a favor.  People expect to get a brand new unit and throw a fit if they don't.  Nevermind that we paid for shipping both ways and gave them a repaired product for free...

FWIW, in the 8 months following the 360's launch, I only had one customer bring one in that wasn't working.  And it wasn't red-ringed out, it just wouldn't read one of his games.
