BTW, I meant to address the www.service.xbox.com website. I didn't track my console at the beginning, but did earlier this week. I will note that my serial # was different on the webpage at the time, than the one I sent in.
I contacted tech support...got in w/n a few minutes (not a long wait at all), and they told me that they were replacing my console w/ a different one. I'm unsure if it's refurbished/new. I've read they used to send out refurbished ones, but w/ added problems w/ RoD, they send out new ones now. I'm not certain either way, but secretly hoping I get a HDMI enabled console when it arrives Tuesday.
Furthering my story...on the website, it changed from the 3rd/4th on the 6th. What I'm saying is that I had a new serial number on the 3rd/4th (as explained above). However, on the 6th, it said "waiting for console" or something, and a NEW serial number was on the site. I'm not sure, but in total that's 3 serial numbers I've seen (one I sent in, and two others provided from website). I know I called customer service. Again, it took only like 2-3 minutes to get through...English speaking everytime (could understand well, not sure if they were native Enlish speakers...I don't remember). Anyway, I asked customer service for tracking information. What they had on the website was not right??
So, you might use website w/ caution. Call 1-800-4MY-XBOX for questions you may have.
"I'm moving to a small studio and for some reason the cable connection is in an awkward place and I need a way to transmit HD quality video and audio no more than 20 feet away. What is the best wireless HDMI transmitter / receiver for this situation? Thanks!"
