just got my 360 back from repair, well actually not "my" 360. I received an xbox that appeared to be new ie tape of drive front and no scuffs abrasions, etc. Man date is 04262006. Is this a new console that has been in a warehouse for awhile or what? Refurbished? If so, does that mean that I got somebody else's console essentially? Sorry if there was already a thread for this. Anyone have any idea how Microsoft is handling these repairs? Thanks.

Re: new xbox 360?
You should of recieved a note stating whether or not it was a refurbished unit, or new unit. I've always gotten refurbished units from MS. After my last 360 died, I sold the refurb, and went to GameStop and got the warranty through them. Got tired of getting someone else's broken 360 that'd be repaired. -
Re: new xbox 360?
Wow, you say that like you have had many systems die on you. I believe the exact term on the letter to me was that I received a "replacement unit" so that I could get back into the game. I just received it today and it looks new and no problems so far but I guess the real test is when I put some miles on the system. Thanks any other comments. What does a "replacement unit" mean exactly? It could mean new or refurbished I guess.my life is over either the 4th or 18th!Comment

Re: new xbox 360?
Refurbished is what "replacement unit" means. And yeah, I've had my fair share of problems with the 360's. Mainly my launch 360, ran fine til summer, then the replacements MS sent me were very poor.
I finally went with GameStops return policy, and ended up with a 360 with a born date of 8-30-2006. And zero problems so far. And in a year, if I feel like it. I can return it for a brand new 360, and pay the $49 for another warranty.Comment
