Now this is an announcement that will surely delight the Xbox 360 crowd. As many of you are aware of, Xbox 360’s have an abnormally high failure rate, and as such, many users were rather angry with Microsoft, to put it lightly. However, seeking to rectify past wrongs, Microsoft has just announced the following:

“Microsoft Corp. today announced that it will expand its global Xbox 360™ warranty coverage. Any Xbox 360 customer who experiences a general hardware failure indicated by three flashing red lights will now be covered by a three year warranty from date of purchase. All other existing Xbox 360 warranty policies remain in place.”


Want to know the best part? Check this out:

“For any customer who has previously paid for repair expenses related to the three flashing lights error message on the Xbox 360 console, Microsoft will retroactively reimburse them.”


Very, very impressive. It looks like Microsoft has stepped up to the plate in a big way.
