Just a small update on the progress of the RRoD repair. As you know, I sent in my Xbox 360 on Thursday. I’ve been checking the online repair agent, which Microsoft provides for tracking of repairs. On Monday night, I saw the status change from “Waiting for device at service center” to “Device received at service center”, which means they’ve received by Xbox 360. The stated repair/replacement time is 2 business days, so I was expecting something to happen on Wednesday. But I just logged on to check the repair status, and it has now changed to “Device shipped to customer”.
So basically this means that my console should be on the way back to me right now. I will hopefully receive it before the end of this week, most likely on Thursday, and I will have the final part of this blog series then, with photos of the repaired or replaced console, whether the casing has been damaged or not (as some have reported), and of course, to see if the RRoD problem has been fixed or not.
If I do get my console back on Thursday, then the turnaround time has only been a week, which is quite impressive considering I sent it just before a weekend (and posties don’t work on weekends here, at least no the delivery people).
