Xbox 360 warranty changed (again).

I can't decide if this is Microsoft trying to get their act together or realizing they may be running into more class action lawsuits. Either way, it's good news for the Xboxers out there.

The details:
- Free shipping for repairs (both in and out of warranty Xboxes). (i.e. they send you a postage paid box to ship it in).

- For in-warrantuers, after repair the warranty is extended 90 days (or if the existing one extends furthur, it remains valid).

- For outta-warrantuers, although you pay for the fix, a repaired box get a new one-year warranty.

- Aiming for 5 business days to repair and ship your broken box.

- Adding customer care reps.

While I'm down with the folks that say "how about making a system the doesn't break", I can't fault a company attempting to set up better, faster repair services.
