PSA: E74 victims should have received refund check by now

by Alexander Sliwinski { Jul 1st 2009 at 12:40PM }

If your Xbox 360 fell victim to the E74 error and you paid Microsoft for the repair, you should have received a refund check back from the company by today. If you paid for a repair and have yet to receive a check, you'll need to follow up with Microsoft before the hard deadline of November 1, 2009. After that ... well, you're just going to have to eat it.

The E74 error was placed under a similar warranty to that of the Xbox 360's "Red Ring of Death," after data revealed it was another widespread defect for the console.

[Thanks, Matt L]

Chin-Poh The Wanderer, nice to meet you all! @ Jul 1st 2009 1:02PM

Sony should also refund those who had to pay $150 or so for their PS3's repair after the warranty expired, the YLOD and Blu-Ray drive failures are the fault of Sony, not the customer, even if these issues are not as widespread as the 360's technical errors, they still affect a significant number of PS3s.

This is one sticking point I have with Sony, they make it right like Microsoft has and I'll have a better view of them.

Longhorn of Myon [PSN: MariusElijah] @ Jul 1st 2009 1:02PM

So no one is going to discuss the article but instead look for that Dead Space girl...

And thats why I will NEVER own a 360

Lieutenant Gunther (PSN: helghast102) @ Jul 1st 2009 1:07PM

This day shall be marked in history as Dead Space Girl day!

Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC) @ Jul 1st 2009 1:30PM

We rather ignore you and look at the girl Kthnxbi.

Funny images > retarded fanboy arguments.

Well, you're missing out then. How sad.

MowDownJoe @ Jul 1st 2009 1:03PM

This is going to be like Engadget slapping in Jason into every post on Friday the 13th... we're going to have to look hard for some of them...

PedoJokerBear (aka Deeznuts) @ Jul 1st 2009 1:44PM

Bricks....have been shat.

BoringK @ Jul 1st 2009 1:58PM

This is all good and well, but back to the topic at hand: I actually haven't received my refund yet. And I can't find anything on xbox.com/support about filing a claim. Do I have to call the support phone number, or what?

LoneRanger17 @ Jul 1st 2009 2:04PM

I haven't received mine either. I believe the warranty statement on their site said to check back to the support page before November 1. They don't actually say when they will have anything in place to start the process. Knowing from my past conversations with Xbox live support, they won't know anything.....
