So following my Xbox’s RROD I’m told that Microsoft offer a 3 year extended warranty for this failure. They will pick up and return for free and you can book a super fast collection with UPS. This is only fair. But I was led to believe that my later model of the Xbox Pro with its later chipset shouldn’t succumb to the RROD? Apparently not.

So I bought an Elite. And I’ll sell the Xbox that Microsoft fixes on EBay.

Am I a mug? Possibly. Probably. Ok, yes. The phrase “What you own, owns you” spring to mind.
