You shouldnt need a warranty. My n64 still works great so why cant they make a console that runs for a year?

I believe that every console deserves a warranty, and it just so happens that the 360 has a decent enough warranty to cover all charges. So, even if the console breaks, it doesn't matter. you get another one, with no charge. I simply cannot understand how someone complains about that kind of service. I have been f-ed over many things I have bought over the years that have broken and I have no way of replacing it without buying another. My n64 works fine as well, but it won't forever, neither will yours, and it's for sure you won't get a free new replacement.
there is a charge.
If you have to send your console away, be without a console for days/weeks and then get a crippled DRM system in return. that is a charge.
As i have said elsewhere, how is that during the PSP launch i could get a replacement console sent to me within 24 hours of phoning customer support, yet Microsoft makes you wait for a refurbished console when supply chain and production quality should be running smoothly.
Anyone yet have the answer to whether the 3 year warranty applies to customers or consoles. I ask because usually warranties cover new replacements not refurbs or repairs, considering older units are still in replacement circulation, this is very worrying.
My point was that a good console shouldnt just stop working that early in its life. My neighbor still has a snes that runs perfectly because its a good console. MS should need a warranty because people are stupid and break things not because they cant make a console that runs.
Lol, actually, I think I'm maybe the only person on the planet who gained something from my first 360 dying. After a while I got a new one, still angry at Microsoft. So I gave my broken Xbox to my brother.
He then opened it and wrapped the memory cores in eraser shavings then left it on for 20 minutes and the rubber melted into the cracks, thus fixing it.
Wh00t! I finally have someone to play against on TF2. He created a 360stein! :D So my tragedy led to prosperity. My new 360 is still working great, though....
