it depends on the product whether or not a 90 day warrenty is normal. For video games u get 90 days to return it unopened or something like that, and there are a few things that have really short warrenties like that. But for electronic goods like that most of the time the warrenty is a year, like headunits for you car (CD players) normally have a year warrenty. And it was like microsoft was scewing the people in America with a 90 day warrenty while Britan got a year warrenty. I think enough people were bitching, and someone filed a class action lawsuit, so they changed it.

90 days is normal in the US

Here we have EU laws that mean warranty must be 1 year minimum.

i think it depends on the product and the manufacturer and the store how long the warrenty is, because alot of stuff that I have bought has a year warrenty. IDK though

You might be right, all the stuff I bought in the US seemed to be 90 days though, maybe I was going to the wrong stores lol

Look on eBay. I would also research on how to fix it sense you really have nothing to lose. Rumor is that the sodders in the GPU are bad. Google it, see if/how other people are fixing their boxes

UPDATE

So I finally got "my" XBOX back . Its been a long time in comming, because the shipping took forever due to the holidays. Ill give XBOX credit, as soon as my XBOX reached the facility I had another one on its way 2-3 days later. Another plus is I got a BRAND NEW BOX!!!!! The box is basically a year and a half newer then my "old" box. I havnt tested it yet (I know, shame on me but I was working on the Porsche all day) but I imagine it will be good 2 go.
