Call it a Christmas present to the nearly ten million Xbox 360 owners worldwide. Microsoft said Friday it would extend the warranty period from 90 days to one year for all consoles sold in the future, as well as those still in their first year of ownership.
The Redmond company said the move was meant to benefit customers, and those who may have had to pay for out-of-warranty repairs can expect to receive reimbursement checks from Microsoft within the next 10 weeks.
Checks would be automatically distributed to those who qualify for them, and the company has asked that customers refrain from contacting about the status of checks. Those with questions on the new policy should visit the Xbox 360 warranty website.
