the controller that came with the xbox isn't covered by the warranty is it?

But all new xbox hardware is covered by a three year warranty isn't it? So no matter when you bought the xbox it should still be under warranty. Hell the controllers that came with my launch day one edition were still warranted a few months back so surely
your complete unit still is?

I updated the firmware on the controller but no help. I went to the manage devices and since it is the controller not the system, do I just select other and fill out description? It says that the xbox is still under warranty but the controller isn't, I thought
the one year warranty covered everything in the box?

Hey JtK,

The Elite controller is definitely a very nice step up from the controller that comes with the console. You get a lot of opportunities for customization, and it feels great. If I understand your question correctly, you're wondering if the warranty on your
console will carry over to the Elite controller? Is it a warranty through Xbox or a third party such as Best Buy? The warranty on your Xbox will cover the Xbox and controller that came with it, but not the separately purchased Elite controller. If the warranty
is through a third party, it would be best to check with them. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the response.

For argument sake, let’s say another controller works. Since the controller I have came with my console and the console is around six months old, would the controller be covered under the warranty? If so, I assume I can acquire a replacement under warranty
in a similar manner to requesting a console warranty repair.

Unless you purchased an extended warranty, most accessories are covered by a 90 day manufacturer's warranty. The details of it would be in the fine print somewhere in all the manuals that either came with the controller or the console.
