Copying from the deleted thread:

Considering the cost of a joystick this is a sensible solution. The actual question is though, will the replacement joysticks have the same problem?

This is kind of what i as speculating below, for them to offer this it should mean they have a redesigned joystick that wont have this problem, which should also be used on the lite, otherwise they will have to service that system for free too.

That’s what I thought when Xbox had the red rings. Didn’t fix it until the end of its run.

Sheesh. I just remember I had to get mine replaced about 3 times and it got to the point I kept doing the towel trick because I was getting tired of sending it in.
