Well, after being annoyed with them, they're refunding me my $100 back because it's ridiculous.

By the way, when I bought the plan, I was told by a MANAGER that they would swap it out right in the store. I love the lies!

Sadly, I have to wait for Microsoft to send me a box. I guess it's time to play PS3. But it sucks because there isn't anything I'm interested in playing right now and won't be until MGS4 comes out. But at that time, I'll just be receiving my XBOX 360 back! Great...

Sorry, had to semi-vent.
Never get "in store" warranties. They're just third party insurance policies full of loopholes that they can use to deny your claim. They're even written in a way that makes it next to impossible to have a arbitration through a third party. Our family got screwed by one of those on a laptop replacement at CompUSA. When that place went out of business, I'd just go in their to laugh and talk out loud about how they all deserved losing their jobs for their shady business practices. Those bastards will lie through their teeth to sell you those policies because they are typically 100% profit due to their ability to deny claims unilaterally.
