Hardware Can i register a brand new controller for warrenty?

[blueagent004]

i bought a brand new official xbox360 controller last month but yesterday while i was playing it the controller stopped working all of the sudden, i didn't throw it against the wall or dropped it or anything, it just broke down on its own. obviously the store won't take it back since its well over 30 days.


so i was wondering if i can register my controller online for warranty and then send it to microsoft for repairs.



thanks for the help.

If they still offers repairs, pretty sure its still under warranty as long as you show them your proof of purchase.

Get a new controller, swap the old one for the new one and return it to the store.
Ask for your money back?

Or you could send it to MS and be controller less for a month orso.

i tried to register my xbox 360 controller here, but it won't let me, i'm certain that i typed the serial number in correctly as i've already re-typed this in multiple times but to no avail.
it kept giving me the message "invalid serial number".

so what am i doing wrong?

thanks for the help!

That's only for consoles, not controllers.

well it seems that i'm out of luck then as the xbox support page didn't mention anything about registering a controller for warranty. time to buy a new controller i supposed. oh well...

thanks for the help everyone!
