X-tra huge repair bill for Microsoft

Science - Technology

A billion dollars is a lot of money, even for Microsoft. The company says it'll spend at least that much to fix the Xbox 360 and reimburse customers in what could be the biggest warranty repair bill for any consumer electronics product ever.

The game console has a major hardware problem that causes it to shut down. Gamers call it the Red Ring of Death because three lights start flashing when the console is about to die on them. Microsoft is also extending the warranty on the Xbox from one to three years.
