I was under the impression that anytime during the first covered MS year, you could call them and buy another year. Maybe someone else will have better info. Good luck~

Where did yr mam buy it? Electricals usually carry a one year waranty as standard with the place you bought it from. I had mine from dixons the first unit I had would constantly freeze I took it back and had a no quibble exchange. they didnt even test it. And the warranty time was set to zero. so Technically I have 18 months warranty.

When you send your xbox in to microsoft and you get it back do you get another warranty on it?

I wouldn't purposely pour coffee on it to claim on home owners thats a crime it is called insurance fraud. They are cracking down on this I wrote a paper on this exact subject in my graduate school program. If caught big penalty big fine and or jail time and good luck ever getting any kind of home insurance again.

Is that actually true? .. a year after your inital 1 year warranty is over that you can just call MS and buy another year for $30 ?

From what I have read, yes. You can call them anytime before the current warranty expires and extend it for $30.

Yes it is true. I've had my 360 for 8 months, and just bought another year warranty for $30. They told me I can continue renewing it annually as long as I do it before the warranty expires. A sound investment if you ask me.
