A new rumor is circulating on the web that repair of the Xbox 360 console can take up to six weeks due to a big spike in Xbox 360 returns following Microsoft's decision to extend the warranty of the machine. One person indicated that while the repair took six weeks, MS were kind enough to send him a free game as a gesture of goodwill following the delay.

One commenter confirmed the six week repair turnaround while adding that Microsoft was kind enough to send along a free game due to the excessive delay.

The inundation of Xbox 360 service calls is to be expected, however, as is the case with most warranty extensions and/or product recalls.
