Actually how Microsoft works on these is, you get your original unit back UNLESS they cannot fix a certain thing on your unit. I sent mine out after getting the lights, took 3 weeks, but got the same unit. My friend sent his out, 3 weeks passed, he calls Microsoft, they tell him they couldnt fix his unit (cant remember reason right now) and they would be sending him a unit to replace his. Ending up being a refurb of course, but still carries warranties, but no HDMI. Luck of the draw I would say.
