Gamestop Gamestops Replacement Plan for Xbox 360

Posted in News on 30.10.07

This blurry letter obtained by GamersReports spells the end for the Xbox 360 Product Replacement Plan at Gamestop and ebgames:

Gamestop Gamestops Replacement Plan for Xbox 360

The situation must be pretty grim if Gamestop is giving up on these plans – margins are pretty slim on new console sales and these extended warranties are usually a big revenue booster. I can only imagine that they'd cut off the program if returns were costing them more than they're making selling the plans.

Customers shouldn't be too worried, though – while the 360's failure rate is still pretty high Microsoft does (for the most part) do a good job of taking care of you if your system does break.
