The reason is I just recently bought Red Dead Redemption for the 360 and it has just been mocking me for a week and have a huge urge to play it. I was wondering if Microsoft has been receiving a lot of repairs lately and they gave me a free repair for the E74 Error Message for free. I still haven't figured why, but I hope none of these problems happen. Have any of you purchased Red Dead Redemption? If so, you so leave a comment and we could play some games together. By the way, I was very entertained with this story.

I have a halo edition xbox 360. while on the phone with the rep I also made a big deal out of the fact that it was scratching (& ruining) dvd games before it finally quit bothering to read them. Scratching DVDroms is something microsoft vehemently denies their xbox 360s do. I'm not sure if that's why they did the free repair or not, but i figured it bears mentioning. I shipped my console in for (free after 6 mo warranty expiration) repair on 5/18/10, and I just recieved a package from microsoft back on 6/1/2010. I was thrilled with the quick turnaround, and was even happier when i noticed they had fixed the little hinge-door over the front-side USBs. Then i noticed the protective peel-off plastic on the RF reciever. curious, i looked at the bit of paperwork included with the console... \Dear Xbox Customer, So that you can get back to playing and enjoying your xbox quicker, we have replaced your xbox console with a replacement unit...\ Maybe i'm their 100th million customer, i don't know, but TY microsoft, lol. To be clear, they replaced my limited edition console with an identical brand new unit. I'm honestly surpriesed they have them lying around anymore.
