Microsoft extends Xbox 360 warranty to one year free

On December 22, Microsoft announced that it is extending the 90-day Xbox 360
warranty to a full year free of charge. That's good news for gamers who have
been trying to iron out the wrinkles in their new systems. Here's the link to
the eweek article: http://www.eweek.com/article2/0%2c1895%2c2076287%2c00.asp

And here's a clip: "On Dec. 22, the Redmond, Wash., company announced that
it will change the Xbox 360's warranty from 90 days to one year from the date of
purchase in the U.S. and Canada."

Great news to the few who have had issues after the initial 90 day warranty. It
should position Microsoft to better compete with the PS3 and Wii.
