    Fun and/or worth it?

    Hey Sledge!
    I'm an XBoxer...but I've never signed up to play online. I've always just played my games solo. What's your take on it? Is it that much more fun...and/or worth the subscription fee(s)?

    Also...MNRedsky...what games do you have for sale?

    Thanks!

    Tons of fun, much more addicting to play games with buddies online. I have friends all over, worth the 45$ by far. As long as you have have high speed your golden. The games you can download and talk to people. Good get away from work day stress to hop in a plane or game and throw for 300 yards. I got a seperate site call www.gameplayerssociety.com Consists of about 100 or so adults from all over US, Canada that play games together.

    One is a novice and one has just achieved the rank of captain. I really don't know what all that is but they were really excited over some big promotino meeting over the weekend online.

    mnredesky---- Just call microsoft, ill hunt their number down, they had an issue with some units not working, red ring of death, so they did a 3 year warranty for them all 2 months ago, call them they will send you a box to send in back in, they pay shipping and all, in 2 weeks you will have a new xbox. AT no cost to you. Ive done it once. about 10-15 of my gaming frineds have had to do this. All have gotten a new one back in 2-3 weeks. Has to do with a component that was overheating.

    Xbox 360 Warranty Coverage Expanded
    REDMOND, Wash. — July 5, 2007 —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.

    As a result of what Microsoft views as an unacceptable number of repairs to Xbox 360 consoles, the company conducted extensive investigations into potential sources of general hardware failures. Having identified a number of factors which can cause general hardware failures indicated by three red flashing lights on the console, Microsoft has made improvements to the console and is enhancing its Xbox 360 warranty policy for existing and new customers.

    Microsoft stands behind its products and is taking responsibility to repair or replace any Xbox 360 console that experiences the “three flashing red lights” error message within three years from time of purchase free of charge, including shipping costs. Microsoft will take a $1.05 billion to $1.15 billion pre-tax charge to earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 for anticipated costs under its current and enhanced Xbox 360 policies.

    "The majority of Xbox 360 owners are having a great experience with their console and have from day one. But, this problem has caused frustration for some of our customers and for that, we sincerely apologize," said Robbie Bach, president of Microsoft’s Entertainment & Devices Division. "We value our community tremendously and look at this as an investment in our customer base. We look forward to great things to come."

    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.

    At 2:30 p.m. PDT today, Microsoft will hold a teleconference for financial analysts and investors with Robbie Bach, president of Entertainment and Devices, Chris Liddell, senior vice president and chief financial officer, and Frank Brod, corporate vice president and chief accounting officer to discuss today’s announcement. The call will be available for playback beginning approximately one hour after the conclusion of the call through 5 p.m. PDT on Thursday, July 12. To access the playback, U.S. residents can dial +1-866-363-4143, and those outside the United States can dial +1-203-369-0210. An audio webcast of the conference call will also be made available at the Investor Relations site at http://www.microsoft.com/msft.

    Xbox 360 customers with questions should visit www.xbox.com.
