Despite the many successes Microsoft has had with their second-generation Xbox game console, the company seems destined to have the Xbox 360's history forever linked to the dreaded "RROD"(Red Ring of Death) cultural phenomenon. But as some Xbox 360 owners have discovered, just because you're console isn't turning crimson red doesn't mean you haven't been.
Known to many as "Error E74", the console's second-most popular cause of death has been frustrating gamers across the globe since it was first acknowledged as a system killer. Microsoft is now including "Error E74" into their much-touted warranty extension plan, which was announced to much fanfare in July 2007 after months of denial concerning the now-infamous "RROD" (Red Ring of Death) complaints...and potential ligigation. The company has detailed how those affected can find relief and have their eligible systems repaired, or in the case of catostrophic destruction, refunds.
Kudos to Microsoft for acting significantly faster to rectify this well-known defect, and for helping make the repair process only slightly-less painful. As someone who has managed to escape the repair process thus far, I can't speak personally to the waiting times and customer disservice many have detailed, but if that day ever comes it'll be good to know that I'm at least slightly covered.
