I'm getting a 360 in September, probably at bestbuy. If any of you have boughten pretty expensive things from best buy then you should know they ask you if you want to add like a 2 year warranty for blank. I think it depends on how much the thing your buying is but I cant imagine it being over $100. Is is worth it to buy a warranty with my 360? Or should i just send it to M Soft for free. How long is the Microsoft warranty when you first get your 360?

You'll be fine.  360's don't break.

Well from microsoft you get a 3 year warranty for RROD problems, which is the main problem, and a 1 year warranty for all other problems, so it isn't really worth it if you ask me.

thanks, I'll just pass on the best buy warranty and use the Microsoft warranty.

Yeah, the MS warranty will have you covered every time for the most part.

Just make sure you take care of it, you know? Don't put it somewhere where it won't ventilate well and don't go throw it out of your car window.

Yeah don't do it. You mainly need to worry about the RROD which MS already covers... I wasted money on an extra warranty that pretty much is doing nothing right now -_-

About four or five months ago, I bought an Xbox 360 Arcade to replace my third broken 360 that was out of warranty.  It didn't have the three red lights, so Microsoft wouldn't cover it.  I put the console on a prime credit card that features one year warranty extensions on everything I buy on it, then of course paid the card off when the statement cut like I always do.  So, I have a two year warranty for free and an additional year for the three red lights.

If you're over 18 and employed, look into getting a credit card with this feature.  It can save you a lot of money, especially if you use it responsibly and the card has no annual fee.

"You'll be fine.  360's don't break."

yes,  it will shit the bed at some point or another.  lol.

I was saying the same till my 360 RROD. Back to topic I think MS warranty covers so no need for BB warranty."

My advice, do it do it now.

Better safe than sorry.

I'd recommend it, MS may cover RRoD, but then you get back a refurb that will only likely develop problems again. If it isn't something RRoD after a year, you're screwed.

I think it is 20 bucks, and then you get a new one from Bestbuy the moment it gets RROD.

Depends on the price.  I personally think it's a big pain to send it to Microsoft and wait for it to return when you could just exchange it for a new one.
