O.K., I would like to know if this has happen to any one else here that owns an Xbox 360. I use to own one, until it just started doing the 3 Red Lights of Death on the power button and would not come on. I tried to get help from the Xbox Hardware Help line, but they said that the serial code for it was deleted out of their computer system about a year and a half ago by a power outage, and because of that the warranty on it was null & void so I could not get it fixed for free, when I asked how much it would cost to fix it without a warranty they said it would be $140.00. After they told me that I want to the guys I know at my town's GameStop to see if they know anyone that could fix it, they said that they could not fix it for me, but they would buy it from me and give me Store credit of $206.00 for it since I was a Good/long time customer. So I traded it for the $206.00, but then I ask what they would do with an Xbox 360 that would not work, they then told me that when they get a game system that is not working right, they send it to the companies headquarters to get it fixed and they would then sell it as a "used/as is" game system. So whil I do not have an Xbox 360, I do have Store credit of $206.00 & my Nintendo Wii witch I like allot better then the Xbox.
