Gamestop Stops Offering Xbox360 Replacement Plan
In most cases, selling extended warranties on products that probably aren't going to die anyways has been an enormous profit-maker for retailers worldwide. However, the Xbox360 has unfortunately done the exact opposite. For whatever reason, the Xbox360 is notorious for failing. And so, to curb the deficit that the Xbox360 is causing Gamestop, Gamestop is no longer offering extended warranties on the Xbox360, instead relying on Microsoft to do that.
Microsoft earlier this year announced plans to re-design the Xbox360, in an effort to reduce alarming failure rates.
