CAGiversary!
When I was at Walmart not long after E3 time.. What was that... like 2 months ago?? Anyway...they had 1 left of the new slim 360's 250gb in the glass case. I have never owned a 360 (only have original xbox) but have always wanted one. Up until now my current gen systems have always been the PS3 and the Wii.
I had always been afraid of all the troubles with the RROD ect.. And i'm sure the new 360 is probably better in some respect but it probably won't be 100% better, as i'm sure nothing is perfect.. BUT I was ready to finally be able to enjoy those MS exclusives I've always missed out on.. Halo.. Gears.. Alan Wake.. and SO MUCH more!!
So since I was already asking the Wife for the new 360 for the upcoming holidays, she decided to get it there in the store and just put it away for xmas, just in case of the holiday sellouts or running around last minute, and or online price gouging.
There is a 90 day return policy in store.. We didn't get any extended warranty.. Opted just for the regular 1 year MS warranty.. Maybe that was a bad idea.. not sure
Question is.. Should I open the 360 just to hook it up and make sure it works properly? And does my 1 year warranty start from the time I actually open it and register it? Or does it start at time of purchase? I am just imagining when end of December rolls around, in store stock will be nothing left most likely.. And if warranty starts when we actually purchased it, there will be about 6 months of the warranty through MS wasted on a new system..
What would you experienced xbox 360 users do in this case to be on the safest bet with the new system?
Thanks in advance.. I'm really clueless when it comes to MS policies or the new build of the 360.. Please help.
