No change found today at all. I did learn an important lesson about saving and spending through someone else's luck. A friend of mine bought the Xbox360 a few days ago (the very one I intended to purchase and had a last minute change of heart) without warranty. They finally plugged it up only to find that it was damaged and the store won't exchange it. There is a manufacturer's warranty but it will take them time and energy to take it to the place where it's serviced-at their expense- in order to have it repaired or exchanged.
