Microsoft: $1B to fix Xbox 360.(Business)
Albany Times Union (Albany, NY) July 6, 2007 Byline: Associated Press SEATTLE – Microsoft Corp. said Thursday it expects to spend more than $1 billion to repair hardware problems in its Xbox 360 after a large number of them failed.
Microsoft said it would extend the warranty on the video game console to three years after too many succumbed to “general hardware failure,” but the company provided few other details. in our site how to fix the red ring of death
“We don’t think we’ve been getting the job done,” said Robbie Bach, president of Microsoft’s entertainment and devices division. “In the past few months, we have been having to make Xbox 360 console repairs at a rate too high for our liking.” Bach said the company made some manufacturing and production changes that he expects will reduce Xbox 360 hardware lockups, but he declined to identify the problems or say which others might remain. Microsoft said it will record a charge of up to $1.15 billion for the fourth quarter to cover the additional costs associated with the warranty extension.
Matt Rosoff, an analyst at the independent research group Directions on Microsoft, estimates the division has lost more than $6 billion since 2002.
“It suggests the problem is pretty widespread,” Rosoff said. this web site how to fix the red ring of death
Microsoft will pay for shipping and repairs for three years, instead of one year, for consoles that experience hardware failure, which is usually indicated by three flashing red lights on the front of the console, something gamers sometimes refer to as “the red ring of death.” Microsoft will reimburse the “small number” of owners who paid for shipping and repairs on out-of-warranty consoles.
