PS3 has the same problems... maybe even worse.

I don't see me getting a PS3. I've been happy with my XBox and PS2...was just thinking about getting a 360 for the graphics update (may be getting an HDTV in the spring).

Its fine though as I actually made out on the deal. I got the 360, GRAW, OBLIVION and extra wired controller. I have BB gift cards and like $30 in reward zone certs as well as a 10-12% off coupon. Basically I got the service plan for free.


Now one thing that will tick me off is if i go in for a replacement and they say they will repair it and ship it to me in a week. They specifically stated that if it breaks,m bring it in and they will give me a new one on the spot

Being a Best Buy employee, let me apologize on behalf of whoever told you that, if it is indeed incorrect.

Best Buy offers two warranty plans: Product Service Plan, and Product Replacement Plan. The product service plan will let you bring in anything broken and get it repaired. It does take about a week for turnaround. The replacement plan will let you bring the defective item in, and get a new one on the spot. As to which one you bought, that's something you'd need to check. Look on your receipt for a PSP or a PRP.

2 yr PRODUCT REPLACEMENT PLAN.

Guess its a new one on the spot whenever this thing decides to break. Started working again perfectly but next time it decided to give me the 3 red middle fingers its going back

Yeah, in that case, it's their duty to actually replace the 360 if it goes wrong. Obviously, they will test it out first.
