How Do I Pack My Xbox 360 To Send To Microsoft For Repairs?

I have been through the process of reporting the hardware problem on my Xbox 360 (3 flashing red lights). I am waiting for Microsoft to send me the shipping label.
But how do I send it to them? I know I need to remove all accessories (hard drive, power supply etc. ) & game. Do I just send it back in its original box?

THEY DO NOT WANT THE ORIGINAL XBOX 360 BOX.
If you have that, DO NOT send it to them in it. You have a new unmarked box and package it in there so nobody knows what’s in it. Package it in there so it’s secure and put the shipping label on the box so it can be seen
If you have the original box and internal packing then that is the best way. If not then find a box that is a bit bigger and pack it out with newspapers and bubble wrap. As long as it is protected and secure it should be fine.
EDIT – Hmmm….looks like I was talking out of my behind! Sorry! I assumed that the polystyrene casing on the original box would be better. We sent ours back in a regular box packed with newspaper and bubble wrap and it was fine. We chucked the box years ago. Sorry if I gave bad advice!
If you want to keep the original box, do NOT ship your 360 in it. They will send it back to you in their own box so your original box will be lost forever. You can buy or get a regular cardboard box from a store. Make sure you pack it as tightly as possible by using materials such as newspaper or foam peanuts.
Dont send it back in original box (more chance of it being robed). Any box that is big enough, make sure you pack it with bubble wrap or old newspaper so it dosent break. You get a free 1 month gold subscription when you get it back.
DO NOT SEND IT IN THE ORIGINAL BOX!!! I just went through this. Take is right to ups and they will give you a box and pack it for you with a guarantee that it will make it there in one piece. The box costs me 5 dollars
they are supposed to send you the
