Following plenty of rumour and speculation, Microsof t has confirmed that it will extend the warranty on the Xbox 360 from 90 days to one year in the US and Canada.

The extension applies to new purchases and owners still in their first year of purchase.

Microsoft said it extended the warranty in these territories to be consistent with the standard one year Xbox 360 warranty that is available throughout most of the rest of the world.

Moreover, the new warranty policy is retroactive, so consumers who may have already paid for an out-of-warranty Xbox 360 repair within one year of purchase will be eligible for reimbursement of their console repair charges.

Customers who have already paid out-of-warranty repair charges within their first year of ownership can expect reimbursement cheques for the amount of their console repair in approximately 10 weeks. Reimbursements will be automatically distributed, so customers need not contact Microsoft.
