Hey all,

Just a quick question. I want to purchase an XBOX 360 off of ebay. If I purchase a brand new, factory sealed one, am I still eligible for Microsoft's warrranty. I know you need a receipt as proof or warranty, thus I was wondering if a paypal or ebay invoice would suffice?

Thanks for the help!

When I worked for Sony, the warranty was only valid if the item was purchased from an actual retailer. Purchasing something from an individual off ebay can be considered a third party, meaning the seller could have done something with it regardless of what is in the listing. If the seller has an actual company, then it should be fine.

It has been a loooong time since I bought my 360 warranty, but I don't remember them asking for the receipt. I just remember them asking for the serial number.

i bought mine from craig's list.
Microsoft somehow knows when the item was purchased.
when I call them up, they had a date of purchase associated with the serial number. you can dispute the date if you have a receipt.

You can also look at the manufacturing date on the back of the console to get a rough idea of when the item was purchased too.
