My Xbox had 1 ring of death. I had a new/refurbished one in my hands in 8 business days. I think the warranty on the new one refreshed also, because they said they re-registered me. Not sure how that works. One thing is sure, I'll be getting my 360 fixed for free anytime it breaks ever. I'm just that kind of A-hole, lol.

 

8 days sounds good but that's in the U.S., and I'm not sure if it's the same as in Canada.

One more thing I'd like to point out is that Fable 2 is releasing in 3 days, and me and my friends planned to pick it up right after school together, I guess I'll just have to watch them play :/

 

 

I feel your pain, man.  My 360 died yesterday.  I sent it in today.  I was really looking forward to Fable 2.  I'm still going to go and get the game, but I won't get to play it for awhile.  I was playing Tiger Woods 09 on Live with a friend, and all the sudden my TV started getting weird shades of green and yellow.  Games were still playing fine, but everything looked weird.  After a little research, I found out that this is just a precursor to RRoD, so I called MS. 

It does suck.  I have confirmed mine was a Falcon model.  The yellow and green screen supposedly means the graphics chip is fried.  Maybe I'll get lucky and they'll send me a Jasper.  In the meantime, I still have my trusty gaming PC to keep me warm.  I only have Gears of War for the PC, so I'm playing that with my 360 controller.  Maybe I'll finally finish The Witcher and Lost Planet while I'm waiting.  Plus, the last time I built a computer for someone they gave me a free copy of World in Conflict. 

So yeah, I won't be lacking games to play while I wait, but not being able to play Fable 2 is a HUGE deal to me.  The timing couldn't have been worse.
