what if my 360 is registered by someone else?

[carlcarlson]

I searched but didn't find anything, so sorry if this has been asked before.

I just got a 360 that is broken. I went to the 360 repair site, set up a (stupid) Live ID, and then tried to register my console. Well surprise surprise, it's already registered. So what do I do now? Is there a way to transfer registration? I got this system from a shop, so I doubt I would be able to track down the original owner.

Dumb question, but can I get the URL for the register page? I looked around the site for a bit after I got my Elite, but didn't see anything.

I would hope MS had a way to transfer ownership-give em a call or check the site

360 ownership is definitely transferable. I bought a 3RROD 360 off Craigslist about a month ago. Called MS, and transferred ownership. The thing is, they do need some kind of proof that you are the new owner. Otherwise, you could have been somebody that stolen a 360 from somewhere and then wanted to register it. So they typically ask you a few questions about the previous owner, like the guy's name and address, etc, etc.

The only info I had, was the guys first and last name and his phone number. I didn't have anything else. I told them I bought it from this guy off Craigslist. They seemed satisfied with my info, and started a repair request thing.

I bought it from a shop on ebay, so hopefully that's enough info for them. thanks guys, here's hoping MS comes through!
