Now, I bought it from PC World, who had a 1 year warranty on the Xbox, but which has now obviously expired. Fine I thought, Microsoft operate a repair system where you can ...

Thanks a lot, I guess I'll just have to be without it for a few weeks then, I'll live :P In fact, now you say that, I suppose the obligation is for them to replace it, but my step-dad said it's not within a time frame so they might just do exactly what I would be doing anyway and post it off... hence no time saved Thanks again

It's impossible to quantify what a reasonable length of time is really. e.g. If you'd only switched it on once a month and played it for 10 minutes a time, then 2 years is clearly a short time for it to break. But if had people playing on it 24 hours a day 7 days a week, 365 days a year then 2 years is a good life span. You're doing the right thing sending it away. You could have taken it...

It might not take as long as you think to return it to MS. I've read of many instances where turnaround has been a matter of days, not weeks.
