I thought I reported this a few days ago, but it seems I did not.

For those of you who haven't already read this news elsewhere, Microsoft has extended the original 90 day coverage policy on their Xbox 360 system to one full year.

The action is a bold step and comes due to the original batch of systems experiencing a higher than normal rate of failure.

Microsoft will send out reimbursement checks to people who have paid to have their system fixed which should arrive within 10 weeks.

KJ's Take:  A great move, and one that was needed.  Kudos to the evil empire as they didn't have to do it.
