If you recall my previous discussion about Microsoft’s [MSFT] positive about-face decision to honor E 74 Red-Ring-of-Death (RROD) hardware failures as covered under their extended three-year warranty, I mentioned that the company would be refunding people who had paid for the repairs prior to the announcement.
Yesterday, as I was browsing my credit card statements, I noticed that– YES!– there was a refund from Microsoft for my Xbox 360 Pro’s repair.
If you are/were in the same proverbial boat as myself (and my poor Xbox 360 console), you may also be subject to a refund. If you haven’t received your refund yet, I recommend that you contact the Xbox Technical Support folks on their site concerning the matter.
