Oh well.  I was hoping it wouldn't come this quickly as I figured there would be a "fix" for the RROD or other related problems by the time mine failed.  I guess I'll be getting a refurb of someone elses problems this go round.  Basically the DVD drive all of a sudden started making a grinding noise that sounded like the DVD disc was horribly out of balance.  It was kind of a "resonating grind".  I put in another DVD and it didn't even recognize it and then failed to eject.  It would come out about a centimeter and then close again.   I timed it carefully and gave it a very gentle pull when it stuck out and managed to get it open.  I didn't dare stick another DVD in.  I just called MS warranty and ordered a "coffin".  He said it would be here by Friday this coming week so we'll see how they are doing.

I'll post when I get back online.  I'm really disappointed as I was really starting to get into my 360.  I have purchased 5 or 6 live arcade titles and literally just finished Halo 1 before it crapped out.  I was about to pick up Halo 2 and start on it in anticipation of Halo 3 coming out soon.  So much for that, I guess...
