Peter Moore announced today that Microsoft has selectively extended their Xbox 360 warranty out to 3 years for folks dealing with the seemingly insolvable problem of the Red Ring of Death. This is great news and all, but wouldn’t it have been better to, you know, keep them from breaking in the first place. This is not a fix, this is a reaction. Honestly?

In fact, I’d love to see some sort of standard “peace offering” like 800 MS points be given to each person that has to turn in a dead 360 for repairs. Above and beyond, Microsoft, that’s the only way to keep the stink off. Go above and beyond.
