to much... considering they are selling the consoles for dirt cheap just to keep sales up.
to much... considering they are selling the consoles for dirt cheap just to keep sales up. how could they afford another price drop?
I have worked with UPS extensively and they charge based on how much you ship, where you ship and obviously weight. If an item is sent to a high traffic hub its cheaper than a low traffic hub. For example if I sent something from where Im at(Albany, NY) to Dallas TX it may be cheaper than sending to Salem NY. As I said on top of that the more business they do the cheaper it is per ship (a percentage is taken off total monthly bill). Sending things to a business address(which is where the RRODs go) usually cuts off 1/4 to 1/3 of the price in relativity to a home/return address. I would estimate it costs average of about $8 for MS to send and about average $10 to return.
As for labor I wouldn't be surprised that most of the fixers are specially trained contract workers making around $12-$15, I guess this number as these guys are trained on proprietary hardware and may just be people out of high school. $12 is ok money for just a HS diploma. I also assume a fixer could fix 3 rrods an hour as the fix is probably pretty standard work for them.
With that said I say it probably costs between $20-$30 a fix. The bad PR on the other hand is something you cannot put a price on.
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

I'd say it's all about the labor costs. So I go with how much the labor costs to fix the damn thing.
20$ + shipping.
