An important message
The recent news about problems with some Xbox 360 units is a genuine concern, and one Atomic Shopping has taken careful steps to address. A non-functioning unit is not a great deal - at any price! All the Xbox units we are selling have been tested individually at our facility. In addition, Microsoft is backing them with an unheard of (for game consoles) extended warranty replacement offer: If your unit exhibits the "red ring of death" (a catchy little term coined by gamers in the blogosphere), Microsoft will replace the unit at no cost for THREE YEARS from the date of purchase. Here's a link directly to the warranty update:

Here's the important part (excerpted directly from
www.xbox.com) : Microsoft stands behind its products and is taking responsibility to repair or replace any Xbox 360 console that experiences the “three flashing red lights” error message within three years from time of purchase free of charge, including shipping costs. All other existing Xbox 360 warranty policies remain in place.
