1. Buy a new one
2. Put your old one in the new box. Swap the serial plates
3. Return the old xbox in the new box and get all your cash back
It works.

I've done this twice, it takes a little bit of effort - you gotta buy a special tool from Home Depot to open it up.
The worker does check out the serial # and inspects it, so I'm sure they're up on game.
Mind you I said, done it twice so .... PS3 >>>>>> Xbox its not even close.

my friend does this at target for every xbox 360 that got the rrod. Simply switch every noticeable thing with the new xbox with the old and place it neatlyback and return it. Easy as cake.

It can be done but after Microsoft banned people from Xbox Live they were doing the same thing you are thinking of doing so hopefully you get lucky and get aseasonal employee

More than likely they will check if the serial codes match on both the xbox and the box... You can switch the serial stickers from old xbox to new xbox butthey'll def. check to see if it's been tampered with.

at WalMart? for 6.50 an hour? when it ain't even their $!@%? I'm telling you, you don't have to go to that much trouble. Just take it back.
Hell, my mom took back an RCA flatscreen just yesterday because we noticed some dead pixels. But she forgot the remote, batteries, A/V cables, and ac adapterwhere all still in my room in a little baggie that I hadn't yet put back in th eback. They took it back no problem. Granted this is KMart, but I'mtelling you, the vast majority don't care and they damn sure aren't opening the box matching serial numbers. At most, they'll make sure it'ssomething in there.

The end.
They won't care.
You can damn near return used underwear/food at wal-mart and get your money back/exchange.
If wal-mart doesn't care about their employees...what makes you think their employees care about their customers?
Most people who work there can't even afford to buy groceries from there.
Go get your new 360, man.

Wal-Mart is a billion dollar corporation that crushes small businesses and leaves no room for competition. Stop being such a broad.Originally Posted by Mateen Cleaves

yeah but i don't really see why wal-mart would even check the serial on the console, it's not like they offer extended warranties or anything.
