Microsoft: Daily Mirror Report False

Michael Ubaldi  //  July 8, 2008  //   1:28 PM

Microsoft has released a statement disputing yesterday's report by the Daily Mirror. From Tech Radar:

Recent reports in the UK media regarding Xbox 360 contain inaccuracies and pure speculation, as well as news that is a year old. Prompted by what Microsoft viewed as an unacceptable number of repairs to Xbox 360 consoles, a year ago Microsoft announced an expansion of its Xbox 360 warranty. Effective 5 July, 2007, any original retail Xbox 360 customer who experiences a general hardware failure indicated by three flashing red lights is covered by a three year warranty from date of purchase, with all other issues remaining covered by the standard one-year warranty.

Accurate and embarrassing or plausible but incorrect? Stay tuned.
