Service Site for Xbox 360 Goes Live

Microsoft has opened a special Web site to help customers track their Xbox 360 repairs, which follows last month's 3-year warranty extension that was made due to high failure rates for the Redmond company's flagship game console.

From the site, customers can register their Xbox, schedule a repair, and track the status of the entire process. For now, the service appears only to be open for those in the United States, but Microsoft's warranty extension does apply worldwide. According to some reports, as many as 3 out of every 10 Xbox 360 units had some sort of problem.
