Kn, sorry to hear about your 360.

On a slightly positive note, I've heard stories of people complaining like crazy and getting an out-of-warranty 360 fixed for free or the price slashed to $50 instead of the typical $100 (which MS recently reduced from $140).

You should give it a shot. While I'm sure you're pissed about the system failing (who wouldn't?), $50 isn't an outrageous fee to fix a 360 if you can pull it off.

I disagree - it's an outrage that the 360 suffers from this kind of unreliability in the first place - consumers shouldn't have to deal with RRoD-type issues in the first place.

Can you imagine if this kind of manufacturing defects made their way into cars, trains, or airplanes?

The Kotaku article has Brian Crecente having nine 360s malfunction - that is outrageous!

Yea, I posted about that above. What's worse is that this one that died on him was an Elite! It bothers me that their newest SKU suffers from problems and what's worse is that it was the disk drive that broke on him and wouldn't be covered by this new warranty. 

Anybody thinking that they'll edit the warranty again (what is that, 3-4 times now?) and do a similar thing that they just did with the RROD? I wonder how the two lawsuits turn out since they're against the 360's disk scratching problems.
