    Free add-on for Oblivion.

    Bethesda Software will make Mehrune's Razor, downloadable content for Oblivion available for free during the holiday week.

Hope you brought your 360 where ever you are going this Holiday.



    And Microsoft is extending the 90 day warranties to 1 year warranties and giving reimbursements.

    Microsoft Extends Xbox 360 Warranty to One Year

    Shoppers can buy with added confidence this holiday season as Microsoft expands its warranty for Xbox 360 from 90 days to one year.

    REDMOND, Wash. Dec. 22, 2006 In a move to benefit customers, Microsoft Corp. announced today that it will change the Xbox 360 warranty from 90 days to one year from the date of purchase in the United States and Canada. Microsoft extended the warranty in these territories to be consistent with the standard one-year Xbox 360 warranty that is available throughout most of the world. The news is reason to celebrate this holiday season; it applies to both would-be purchasers and those who already have Xbox 360 and are still within their first year of ownership.

    Effective today, the one-year warranty is now the standard for the Xbox 360 console. Customers who experience hardware issues with their Xbox 360 within one year of purchase can have their consoles repaired at no cost. Moreover, the new warranty policy is retroactive, so consumers who may have already paid for an out-of-warranty Xbox 360 repair within one year of purchase will be eligible for reimbursement of their console repair charges.

    Customer satisfaction is a central focus and priority for the Xbox 360 system, said Jeff Bell, corporate vice president of Global Marketing for the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft. In addition to jaw-dropping features such as high-definition graphics, an amazing catalog of over 160 games, and social online and entertainment experiences on Xbox Live., the Xbox 360 system now offers this extended warranty upgrade. It is truly the industry s most compelling home entertainment offering.

    Customers who have already paid out-of-warranty repair charges within their first year of ownership can expect reimbursement checks for the amount of their console repair in approximately 10 weeks. Reimbursements will be automatically distributed, so customers need not contact Microsoft. Customers who have questions regarding this policy change or experience any hardware issues should visit http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/contact where they can check their warranty status, find troubleshooting information for common issues and find Xbox support contact information.


    Now if they just would extend my 2 year warranty I bought from them to 3 years I would be happy.

    The extended warranties are automatically added after the original warranty expires.

      That is what I assumed would happen but I couldn't find anything official talking about the extended warranties.

        Only one year of warranty and lousy 90 days before? Here in Norway we have a law that makes all warranties of this kind last at least 3 years.

        EDIT: Actually, it's five years if the thing is supposed to work for some time, like tv's, dvd-players and such. I'd think Xbox360 fits that.

          It's a pity that I left my 360 at the uni and won't be able to access the marketplace during that time.
