    I guess they finally wised up the fact that people were using the ol' hairdryer-on-the-warranty-seal trick to repair their boxes themselves without voiding the 3 year RRoD warranty. When the dvd drive went out on mine a month after the 1 year standard warrant ran out, I purchased an OEM replacement off ebay for 30 bucks and went in there like Zohan. After 45 minutes, my trusty box was booting up Halo 3, and no one was the wiser. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

    I'm assuming this was done to crack down on people who were buying broken boxes, refurbishing them, and selling them as used but never broken. This is a problem in the auto industry as well, when wrecked cars that were never officially listed as "totaled" are purchased by disreputable garages, then repaired and sold with clean titles, instead of the "rebuilt" titles the law requires. #xbox360warrantyseal

    I took mine off with a hairdryer, then lost it after we moved.. DVD drive failed and took me forever to find that little sticker, after about a year off the console, used a hairdryer to put it back on and console came back from repairs with no issue. #xbox360warrantysticker

    Well, if it's anything like the stickers on a linksys router, careful use of a DE safety razor blade can remove it intact. As someone who pulls the thread out of money, I know what I'm talking about. #xbox360warrantysticker

    I got the same sticker on my RRoD 360 I got back. I can confirm that the black bar is in fact a heat sensitive bar. This most likely has to do with people using blow dryers/heat guns to heat up the glue and peel the sticker off without leaving the "void" residue. Reason being people are a) doing this to try and fix it them selves or b) modding the 360's DVD Drive.
