I would have just gone though the process online, but when I put in the serial number I was told that the machine had already been registered. Which would, of course, be to the friend I bought it from (who's currently serving the country in Iraq). So I was going to try to set it through with him when he came home on leave (the previous two weeks) but that didn't end up happening, so he just said to call them. I didn't think that would get me any further than the Internet and didn't want to talk to a robot, but figured it was worth a shot.
So I got past the automated part, which wasn't really that long, and got to talk to a lady. It didn't help that she had a Spanish accent and I had a cold, so we were repeating everything a half dozen times. But if she was losing patience, she didn't show it. Anyway, she transferred registration to me and had a package slip emailed to me. I printed it, so all I have to do is tape it on a box and UPS it to the repair center (in Texas, one state over, score!)
And then I should have a working 360 again, maybe to buy Final Fantasy XIII on.
