As a new 360 owner... I am glad to hear this...
Thanks

Wow... I can't even count the number of E74 threads I have seen!
Hope this is also posted in the hardware forum.

Hopefully they will do the same for E74 repairs... I certainly would be worth the call to see if you can get your money back.
Hey! this E74-repair will be resolved very soon! if you paid for it "expect" a fair-refund! [isnt that cool?] your shipping is covered too! all you have to do is get a repair SR / repair Ref Num @ Xbox Support, initiate a repair then send it!. Service Ctr will take care of your beloved-360 ; )

It sucks you had to pay but at least you will be getting your money back. Better late than never. I have a box with the E74 error siiting in my closet that I will send in for repair. I refused to pay for the fix so I bought another one.

Don't agree with you on that one. Yes they should replace the bad hardware with new but only after the initial 12 months warranty is up. My xbox elite which i bought only 9 months ago has been in for repair 3 times and is now going in again because I just got E74, 8 days after just getting it back after it getting RRod.
Yes I am happy it is getting repaired for free but only rightly so because it is still under guarantee. My point is if I bought a new tv and within 6 months the screen went, I could take it back to where I got it and because it is still under the initial 12 months warranty, I would be issued with a brand new one.
The point i feel that is being made above is spot on. I bought mine brand new only 9 months ago and like i said it has been in for repair 3 times already. I was told today by microsoft, that if it cant be repaired this time, I will be sent out a refurbished one. I don't see this as fair as my brand new one is not even 12 months old and I am going to get a patched up one back from them.
I feel that the policy should be, if your console is less than 12 months old and you get major hardware failure (RRod, E74 etc.) then you should be sent a brand new console, but if your console is over its initial 12 months and a repair is being covered in the extended 3 year warranty for the above failures then they are entitled to give you a reurbished console in return.Bottom line is I paid over £200 for my brand new elite only 9 months ago and I have been given a patched up refurbished console in return after sending mine off to be repaired through no fault of my own.Don't seem fair to me.
