Hey guys, sorry for not being around as much as I was, new job, moving, a few things going on like my laptop powercord breaking in the process. I got a new cord, and I should be able to be on more real soon.
Anyways if it is already shipped out on a carrier such as UPS or FedEx, you shouldn't have to wait more than a week. _________________________________________________________
When I did that I sent mine on Monday and recieved another back on Thursday. It wasn't my same one and the one I recieved back was a little scratched but I didn't care because it actually works. So anyways, the answer to your question depends on if they are going to be fixing your unit or just sending you a refurbished unit like they did for me. Later. _________________________________________________________ Xbox V1.6

I was wondering whether they'd send a new 360, refurbed 360, or my 360 repaired. I enclosed a note explaining that the DVD drive seemed "iffy" and that I'd appreciate it if they'd replace it with an HD-DVD drive. _________________________________________________________ The World's Most Awesome Xbox 360 Room

Hey Kids,
Go to best buy, walmart, target, or wherever you can find your local 360 distributor with one actually in stock, and follow the steps below...
1. Purchase a new 360
2. Carefully slide 360 out of box
3. Carefully unwrap the new 360
4. Replace old 360 with new 360
5. Re-package the old 360 in new 360 box
6. Return to store to get full refund
This will bypass any hassles you have with Microsnatch with repairing your 360, with the same results. On the grander scale the store returns the 360 to Microsnatch for a new one, nobody is the wiser...
Just so you know, the only store to date that even makes an effort to check serials, etc... FRYS ELECTRONICS
If you think that paying $400+ for a buggy console is worth your hard earned cash just for it to break, then send it to Microsnatch and wait patiently. If you think that your $400+ hard earned dollars should be rewarded with a hassle free console that deserves your praise, then you should have no moral issues following these simple instructions...

I tried something similar to this with a Gamecube (recently purchased with a defective accesory). ABOUT TWO YEARS, A WALMART IN EAST BUFU WEST VIRGINIA CHECKED THE FREAKIN' SERIAL NO., CALLED SOMEONE ON THE PHONE (OUTSIDE THE STORE) AND GAVE THEM THE SERIAL NO., AND WROTE THE SERIAL NO. DOWN IN A LOG BOOK... THEY ALSO REQUIRED A PHOTO ID AND RECORDED WHO RETURNED IT. This totally freaked me, because I nearly decided to return the older console, but for some reason, at the last minute, I decided to just exchange the accessories.
This is really a cheesy way of doing things, but my moralization was basically the same as yours. I paid out good money for shoddy equipment, so I decided to exact a little revenge! _________________________________________________________ The World's Most Awesome Xbox 360 Room

Well, the GameCube had that same cut-out in the box, so some places definitely do scan the serial number... I think the serial number was listed on the Walmart receipt. _________________________________________________________ The World's Most Awesome Xbox 360 Room

FWIW, My 360 was delivered to its destination in Mcallen, TX at 10:25AM local time (CST?) on 7-20-6.
Know of anyone else who has had to send their 360 back to Microsoft for warranty repair??? Am I the first on 360-HQ? _________________________________________________________ The World's Most Awesome Xbox 360 Room
