After 1 year and 1 week. Does Microsoft warranty cover it? When was the warranty extended, and does that include 360 bought prior to when this was put in place? He bought 12 Month live 1 month ago. Can the account be transferred? Or will he be reimbursed?

I believe the RROD warranty applies in all cases.

But since you're in Ireland, don't you have a two-year warranty of all electronics stuff? That's how it works in many EU countries I believe.

You have a brother, really? o_O

Please post this in the official RRoD thread.

The 360 was bought in N. Ireland ie UK since we are right next to border and it was cheaper.

@SHMUP , i have 2 brothers, Older one has a PS3 like me, Youngest has 360 ( a broken one)

Rich family! D:

RRod warranty is 3 years...i know that some places in europe come with a 2 year warranty that covers everything.
Live cannot be transferred, but they generally send out a 1month Live card with the returned system

Lucky punk. Still waiting for my ugly green Halo edition Xbox to RROD so that I can exchange it at the store to get a white one again. Love Halo, but it makes an ugly console.
