X-Box 360 Elite dead ... again.

Blah, my brother's Elite just seem to blank out on us -- literally. The system doesn't display any video nor sound when you boot it up. All this after when we bought Too Human too. Luckily it's still under warranty and I was able to give 1-800-4-my-xbox a call (say agent to speak to a real person). The phone call seemed pretty quick and easy.

Blah, my brother's Elite just seem to blank out on us -- literally. The system doesn't display any video nor sound when you boot it up. All this after when we bought Too Human too. Luckily it's still under warranty and I was able to give 1-800-4-my-xbox a call (say agent to speak to a real person). The phone call seemed pretty quick and easy. Now I have to wait for their email and ship it out via UPS tomorrow. The guy said it'll take 3-4 weeks, but I hope it comes much sooner. Tales of Versperia is awaiting!

I also asked about extending the warranty. He said after I received the system back I get a free 90 warranty extension. And if I still want to extend it, it would cost me $29.99 for 1 year or $59.99 for 2. Apparently you can keep extending it as long as you are still under warranty (outside of the whole RROD ordeal).

1st Elite lasted from the initial Elite launch up until the Halo 3 release.
2nd Elite lasted from the initial Halo launch up until the Too Human release.
3rd Elite soon to come. Hopefully it'll push more than a year this time around.
