I thought this was odd since on the website it says 2-3 weeks and I was just wondering if anyone else has come across this?

You're gonna get a refurb or something along those lines. Maybe they just replaced the motherboard real quick.

They probably dont even care about the repairs anymore and just send people new xbox's with their old hard drives.

my friend also had a one day turn around, but i think he only had two red rings of death. this is a common practice though, and btw my friend's box works fine.

i just hoped it works when i get it back thats all i care about. I was thinking maybe it got mixed up with already fixed ones so they didnt even touch it. but good to know other people think it will be fine

An easy way to check is to check the weight of the package that you'll receive. If it's heavier than the package you sent, you got a new one.

Do you know if the one you sent it had the Falcon chipset? If it was, I don't know of a way to tell if you got your same console or another one.

If you sent in one of the original 360's, they would have to send you the newer power brick with the console because of a different wattage (which would make it heavier).

I'm guessing that was a while ago. Microsoft has stepped up in terms of repair time. It's nice, although I would prefer a more reliable console in the first place. I've owned over half a dozen Nintendo consoles/handhelds going all the way back to when I was just a child and I've never had any of them break.

Well, I like the fact that most of the consoles are working nowadays.
I've had mine 7 months and it hasn't broken yet. *knocks on wood*

I want mine to break.

If you have an elite, you have a falcon chipset.

Its most likely a refurb or they maybe be even producing 360 shells without a hard drive specifically to just pop the HD in and ship back to the customer for the RRoD issues going on. Mine looked pretty new when I got it back, but now I got an elite and I'm happy with it.
