Buy an elite from sears.com and select in store pickup, bring it back 3 hours later with your broken one. When you buy it online it doesnt recordthe serial #, there for they can't tell if its the new one or not. Problem solved.

i remember back in the days i would hit up the mall with a friend, id go into a music shop buy about x amount of cds, then he would go in later or the nextday with the store bag(no cds) and receipt and fill it up with the same cds and get a full refund.

cd collection =so serious

its wouldnt be tied up to him. no ones knows you know him and it could happen with anyone. that is messed up though because some innocent person is going tobuy their kid a 360 with their kid excited and its going to turn out to be a lemon. then they wouldn't be able to return it because it was open

reminds me of when i bought a ps3 last week at walmart... i bought a new ps3 just to swap controllers my sixaxis for their dualshock... i did the swap in mycar and returned it 5 minutes later... they asked why i was returning i said i cant believe i just spent 400 so im having regrets...they checked everything inthe box if theres anything missing and they check the serial number but thats about it... you can switch systems if you want just make sure to put the serialnumber sticker on your old one...
