My Terrible Kinect Experience RESOLVED !

So I probably should have written this earlier but I never really found the time...
About 2 weeks ago I wrote a blog about my terrible Kinect experience and how I was extremely pissed. I meant to make it a series where every week I would write something about my adventure to get a new one. Well, the situation got resolved specially quickly with special thanks to Giant Bomb users buft and The Beast. So here's the conclusion to my not so terrible Kinect experience !
I Have Rights God Dammit !
So after customer service told me to send the device back, I had to order the Fed Ex box that I was to send the Kinect back in. I was really bummed out as, like many gamers, I wanted to play it now. So I thought this whole thing over. I had bought this damn thing three days prior and my local game shop was loaded with Kinects. I deserved to get a trade in.So I told myself that I have rights as a consumer and that I would call customer service back and get what I deserved. So I called them (again) and stumbled upon a nice lady who could actually speak french this time. After telling her that the user manual (yeah, you know the gray one that you never read because it's full of legal stuff) told me that since I bought the thing less than 30 days ago I deserved a trade in. And a trade in I got ! After getting the green light (pun) from Microsoft my local game shop just gave me a new one. Now here is for the weird part.
The inside of the box of this new Kinect was different. Entirely different. From how the components of the box were organised to the color of it it's the weirdest thing I had ever seen. Did I stumble on some weird, beta, bootleged Kinect ? Who knows ! I'm just happy I have this semi-worthless piece of new hardware.
BAM there it is ;)
