If you're buying a new 360 then you shouldn't worry about RROD since the new Jasper model which should have replaced all older versions that was prone to overheating has a low defect rate.

Unlike Sony, MS actually released their current gen console two years ago here. The point is that you have to pay $900 for a crappy bundle containing an Arcade, HDD, remote controller, Too Human and PGR4.

BTW I was just checking MS site and it seems brazilian warranty cover only brazilian consoles =/ =/

Oh well, I guess the new Jasper models don't RROD that often, and should I ever get the ring, I could sent it to repair on the USA since I've relatives going to and coming back from there almost every month.

well i live central america, and sony sell ps3 via, sony style here. 399$ 2 games

Having a RROD is a rite of passage.

I had an E74 which is a mini RROD almost a "son of " RROD.

Truth is it gets fixed real quick within three years by which time 360's will be cheaper than chips.

However I would get a premium and not the Arcade if you have the funds.

For the people saying Microsoft won't fix his Xbox 360 in Brazil, do you know that for a fact or just guessing? I'm asking because I thought Microsoft Brazil covered repairs.

Is there anyone reading this thread from Brazil that has had a RROD and has contacted Microsoft Brazil only to have them refuse to honor the warranty on it?

Edit: Oops missed haxxiy's post on the second page of this thread.

I thought you could connect to PSN from Brazil....am I missing something? Anyways I don't own a 360 and probably never will as I usually borrow one when there is a game I wanna play on it. But as far as I have heard/read, the Jasper models were supposed to take care of the problems the 360 had in the past.

they ask to send it to someone to the US, so that person do all the warranty send etc.

yes, i done before with my 80gb zune, they refused, and my bro 360 20gb.

to have a warranty u have to pay the retailer alot of money. and  u are practically paying for a second 360.
