Microsoft Xbox 360 warranty now covers E74 error message

Microsoft has announced that they are now covering the E74 error message in their warranty of the Xbox 360 gaming console.

The company said in a notification on the Xbox website:

While the majority of Xbox 360 owners continue to have a great experience with their console, we are aware that a very small percentage of our customers have reported receiving an error that displays “E74” on their screen. After investigating the issue, we have determined that the E74 error message can indicate the general hardware failure that is associated with three flashing red lights error on the console. As a result, we have decided to cover repairs related to the E74 error message under our three-year warranty program for certain general hardware failures that was announced in July 2007.
