Microsoft alters Xbox 360 coverage warranty

Microsoft is tinkering with the Xbox 360 warranty in a way which should make most consumers happy - by changing it from 90 days of coverage to one year from the date of purchase in the United States and Canada. This is being done primarily to be consistent with the standard one-year Xbox 360 warranty that is available throughout most of the world. Customers who experience hardware issues with their Xbox 360 within one year of purchase can have their consoles repaired at no cost. The new warranty policy is retroactive, so consumers who may have already paid for an out-of-warranty Xbox 360 repair within one year of purchase will be eligible for reimbursement of their console repair charges.
