I mentioned earlier that the Xbox 360 now has a one year warranty. I also read on the Xbox forums that there was a little confusion WRT how extended warranties purchased by customers would be recognized.
Well, I received a confirmation today from the Xbox team that, for customers who purchased an extended warranty on their Xbox 360, the warranty extension they purchased (the one- or two-year extension, I think) will take effect after the first year. So, my understanding is that customers who purchased a two-year extended warranty will now be covered for a total of three years from the date of purchase.
I believe that the Xbox team will make this more clear on the web site and the warranty pages in the near future. Hope this helps.
Is the window allowed to purchase the extended warranty extended to include the new warranty period?
I think so… I think that you can purchase the extended warranty within the first year of your basic warranty coverage, but I haven’t seen the language yet. When I get a confirmation of the new warranty details being posted I’ll note it here.
