Greetings,

After a long hiatus from console gaming I'm thinking about picking up a new Xbox One S before the holidays this year. I'm settled on the 2 TB version because I like having some extra HD space available. My question regards the extended warranty. Any hardware problems with this Xbox like the old 360s (RROD)? If it is a solid platform I'll skip the extended warranty. Thanks.

none so far that I've had or heard about... had 1 friend, just yesterday say that his original Day One Xbox One is dying, but that's it.

extended warranties are a scam... imo.

I personally skipped the S's, because I have 2 Xbox Ones, waiting for the Scorpio next year.

Thanks for the info Magnum. My old Xbox 360 was still running fine when I pulled the plug on it because of some home remodeling. It's tempting to setup the 360 and wait for the Scorpio. The problem is I can't play any new games on the 360.

Depends on who it's with.

IMHO the MS Warranty on my Xbox 360 and Xbox One has saved me at least 1200, as my Xbox 360 was replaced at least 5 times since Launch, the one time I did pay the $130 for repair, MS Send me a Check a few weeks later, as it was covered under my warranty on file.

My Xbox One had some Issues after the first year with SATA Chip, and HDD Problems, Ext. Warranty covered it, they replaced the mainboard etc.

I wish i had gotten the warranty on the controllers too, as one of them had the dreaded "Power On/Off" Problem caused by a Burnt out Capacitor behind the D Pad. So It no longer stays on or connects to console, turns on and then turns off, if I plug it in, the DPad gets Very Hot.

Though I found a nice DIY Repair Video, I might try it,

But I Have 4 Play Charge Kits and only one controller at the moment...
