Hello All!! if any of you has an xbox 360 thats less than 1 year old, you should be able to get a free wireless controller.

If you phone customer service and tell them your controller isn't working (make up any fault) they simply send you a new one. They will ask you for your name, address and telephone number and also your serial number of your box (its on the back of the console)

The customer service telephone number can be found on the back page, or inside back page of your manual.

Give it a try. It's as easy as it sounds.

Good luck, ive done it my console over a year old all they asked is it under warranty i just said yes!!

Tel No: 0800 587 1102 Good luck!!

This also works on the hard drives, wireless headsets and memory cards BUT you need to have one that you can get the serial number off in the first place. Then they send you a new one and dont ask for the old one back must cost them too much to fix ect and postage at a guess.

Push it with them and I think you may end up with nothing. I don't know why some always like to take it a step further lol

both trigger buttons on both controllers squeak when pressed.

I dont think saying they squeak will work! There has to be a fault like the analog stick is not working properly or something similar if people start to take the mick and say multiple things for the same console they will just say no end of story i know someone who did it with 3 wireless headsets and got away with it but as i said before you need the individual number off the headset for that.

Just called them myself, they said I would get a new controller within 10 working days!

Just told them that the right trigger on the controller has ceased working - they said fine took some details and job done!
