Xbox 360 Changes (Pre/Post-Repair Differences)

The HDMI equipped Xbox 360s have been out for quite awhile now. However, if you send a non HDMI model in for repair you'll probably just get another non HDMI model in return. I recently sent in an old Xbox 360 Premium for repair.

The one that I sent in was originally manufactured in 2006. The one they sent back was repaired sometime in 2010.



The one I shipped out was so old that it had the shiny silver paint that was only found on launch era models.



The Security Stickers have changed quite a bit.



The power requirements have not.



If you look closely at that last image, you can see some dirty sticker residue on the new/repaired console from where they removed the original and put on a new sticker. I'm glad to have a working unit instead of a broken one but I wish they would just do away with the ones that don't have HDMI.
