i only limit my self 2 - 3 hrs only ....lol...

then bro djinn, did you survey whats the favourite position (vertical/horizontal) that causes 3rod?

erm my gotproblem already the screen fill up with artifact

Update: Now i am the proud owner of 3ROD thank u very much 

Manufactured 22/4/2006 damn it 2 more months 1 year it was close....is about time to turn to dark side anyway PS3 here i come

Yo Djinn, any luck with mine? Ed says he is bringing it back to your shop to try to repair.

weh ghost's not yet 1 yr. cannot exchange at singapore? pls enlighten me on the 1:1 exchange policy

Hahahahha...seems this is what I was thinking, because I have a lot of friends over there. Can try this if the 3ROD shit happens to me...hihihihi 

LoL, if a sgp'orean "entrepenuer" really want to cooperate, 20, 50 3RoDs also no problem. for each case, he registered S/N under new gamertag SGP3RoD0001, SGP3RoD0002.... SGP3RoD00nn

then suddenly in the database under Mr ""entrepenuer" address, got registered tens and tens of 360!! and he always lepak with the service hub ppl and phone support ppl. Lol sure give some customer service ppl there a great laugh and a great lunch story. 

Ok...share my experience to claim warranty with Ms SG

Quite simple actually.

Call the Help line, report the damn 3ROD.  They give a Service report number. Then can go to service Hub after 5 working days, for 1 to 1 exchange.

I reported Monday...went there Saturday.

The whole process less than 5 min.
Reach there, go to counter, throw the heavy white brick on the table. then the guy plug in power, see the famous 3ROD. Keyin brick serial number. Go inside and take a refurbished set to me. Signed off and leave.

During the process, they never ask anything abt the receipt /purchase date...maybe cos it's only abt 1 year since the official launch, assuming all 360 still under warranty ? ....

well, 360 only launched in march'06 in sgp, so all sets also they accept w/o questions. ofcos ler, theirs is a law-abiding and copyright-abiding society and country. even if MS officially extends their limited warranty to 2,3 yrs also no prob

hate to say this but if and when 360 is officially launched here, our RMA process will be much much stricter and more verified, due to the presence of uncle ho and his nephews and fans

Eh? Based on manufacturing date?

Aiyo, if like that if someone bought a Nov 2005 (theoretically) unit last month, he or she is screwed?

And like my 360, manufactured date 12 April 06 that means the 1 year warranty only lasts till 12 April 07 even though my fiance bought it  January 07?

If like that I am royally screwed. Oh shit.

Based on date of purchase. The date of purchase + 12 months is covered, so that's why in my earlier post I said when u register with the hotline/online, they ask u for your purchase date, u just tell them a date close to the current date and that way you have "extended" warranty since no "proof of purchase" date is required in the exchange SOP.

Cannot be manufacturing date as your right as a purchaser only starts once title passes to you ie purchase date. Otherwise, you'll start seeing customers checking out the manuf dates and only want to buy new units. Then old ones cannot sell.

Terra: That's what I was thinking, as IINM most warranty options begin from date of purchase, not date of manufacture. Of course, I DO realise this is MS.

Thanks for your info, though. This way I will be prepared if and when the dreaded rings visit me.

haha, good practice to save money every month, like buy personal insurance for xbox baby. everytime also check baby temperature for fever. when baby is sick, baby will tell "unknown sickness" and need go overseas hospital. buy 360 is good planning for future DADs!!    i treat 360 better than i treat my precious pet dog! LoL

Ya lah bro Djinn...what to do lah. As long as EVERYDAY must play! Woooo!

yup...of course based on Date of purchase.

probably after march, they will start asking for proof of purchase?...otherwise nobody wanna pay extra for those extended warranty offered. 

i bought x360 from singapore modded,if kena 3rod..have to unmodded it first?or they will not notice it is modded?

Seeing so many local people got his console 3ROD, is it because parrallel importer importing some bad batch that cost lower?

Sigh mine struggle for a few weeks of "freezing only while playing game", officially died yesterday, the 3ROD with the error code 0102 has finally come....
its time to go spore to revive my console

I'm active in other international forum and their reported cases are quite alot as well .

it really kill my appetite to get a xbox360  i think i'll just stick with nintendo wii.

i guess so.......but at least u dun have a big    about what..where...how...thingy stuff........

...i think most of gameshop charge for handling warranty stuff to spore...
...even GH also charge...but dunno how much...

Boss....
forgot to ask.....since i bought the 360 and games from you, is there like a  trade off or changing disc for my scratch disc?...

..sorry for byk tanye....i have nothing to do at the office..
