This limited console warranty is actually common practice. However, given the history of its predecessor, the Xbox 360, and its famous Red Rings of Death, it begs curiosity as to why Microsoft did not extend it for a bit longer. Are they expecting yet another deluge of brokend down hardwares?
They did say though that that problem will not mar the console as significantly as it did the previous one. Maybe that’s why they stayed with the one year warranty? Could this be a reflection of their confidence in the hardware, that there won’t be as much trouble with it, and so you won’t have to make use of your warranty all that much anyway?
Probably. But we’ll know for sure once the Xbox 360 hits retail store shelves.
