    Yay to XBOX.

    Kyle - after you talk to the rep in India, you should have a box at your house from TX in about 3 days. You put your box - and only your box in the.......err......box. they include a return label. Tape up the box, slap the new label on, take to UPS store. I had mine back in just over a week from...
