Today I received 2 consoles :) and the build date is almost 3 years newer :)


I thought MS would re-refurbish my console and send it back, is it normal to get a newer console?

Thanks!

You probably got a Jasper model back, that's good to hear you received a recently manufactured console.

Yeah I'm happy about having a "new" console, any idea about the warranty?

I've not heard a single thing about them changing the warranty for the newer Jasper models, so ya, you still get the implied warranty.

I sent mine back 2 months ago, and got a refurbished one back. It doesn't even have hdmi. :(

The warranty on my old unit expires this month (the rrod 3 yr warranty) but I just registered this unit online so it appears that I should have a new 3 year rrod warranty + 1 year normal warranty.

Life is good ;)

Maybe they ran out of storage space for duds and thought it'd be cheaper to just ditch it on you.

Or Sam the Mule hid his 5 kilos of crack-cocaine in one of those boxes and will make a visit to your house in the next week...

Damn, last time I sent mine in I got the same one back. Maybe the third time will be the charm and I can get a newer one.

I have it posted on Craigslist so he can still get it back ;)


I spoke to a CS rep on the second about getting an extra console and she didn't know what to do so today a CS supervisor called today and left a message saying that they will be sending a return label.....
