You keep your HD if you send it back to MS.

But, you could always go out and buy one from say Tescos. And then return it in a couple of days because it's not working and get your money back. Or wait about 5 weeks for MS to get yours fixed and back to you.

Your call..

Did that with a Playstation, but they checked the serial number on it. So swap the casings over if you can.

I know a few folk that have done it. I wouldn't chance it at Game or anywhere they have half a clue. But at Tesco's, Asda it'll be okay.

Just say something like:

"Hi, I bought this last week and it's stopped working. I've read on the internet that alot of them seem to go wrong so I'd just like my money back please"

Job done. And all they do is send it back to MS for repair anyway.

Yes microsoft increased the warranty to 3 years for the red ring of death problem so no need to send it anywhere else.

Mine was sent back with a broken warranty seal as it was flashed, and then flashed back to standard when I returned it. Took 5 weeks but got a replacement sent out no problems. They will either fix or replace.
