e 74 error

Ok it wasn’t too long ago I wrote about my new HALO 3 Limited Edition Xbox 360 where I got a great deal from Best Buy because of their replacement plan. Well after last night that same console got the E 74 error.

I searched around for my Best Buy paperwork for the replacement / protection plan. Once I found it I noticed today (October 19th) was the last day of the protection plan. So after work I hurried over to my local Best Buy store to exchange it with a new system… Weeeeeell, I get there and the customer rep says that I can’t exchange my current hard drive for the new one I actually have to pay the $49 transfer fee. So I was like WTF? ehh wanting to keep all my stuff I said ok… She then told me while she was on the phone I should go pick out a new one. Well needless to say all they had were the arcade versions and the elites. So I told her I wasn’t going to go for the Arcade version and she said I didn’t have to she said I could actually get the elite version and I’d get $100 back. Because, the HALO 3 version when I bought it was $399 and the elite systems are now only $299. I was like “hells yeah!” when it came down to checking out it went like this:

Old system $399
New system - $299
Which gave me + $100
The transfer data fee - $49
2 Year replacement plan fee - $79
Total cost of my elite xbox 360 $28 plus tax

The moral of my story is that I guess it really does pay to buy the Best Buy replacement plan if you know the product you are going to buy has a history of breaking down in a year or two.

Check out the selections they have to offer as they come in different colors and sizes.

If I had the time to take advantage of this offer I surely would… I’d visit friends and family across the country and stay at their places to save on cash. Ehhh just and idea… I wonder how many people are going to try some stunt like visit all the destinations within the 30 days or see how fast they can do it or something. You know this is going to happen.
