Two of mine consoles died earlier this month and I already got one back two days ago. The second one was drop off later and should be here tomorrow or tuesday.
The first one to die was the newer console. It has one red light, first showing up as just artifacts on the screen eventually it give up the ghost. Call MS, since it's under 1 year they send me the coffins. I was then (stupidly) gloating to my kids that mine older Elite unit is still functioning, lo and behold the next day it freeze and 3 flashing red light. I didn't get the coffins but I think it was for the better because I ship it out faster using my own box and printed the label.
I have to say I was really surprise at how easy it was dealing with MS on the phone for my RROD unit. The first console was less than a year old so you can register for repair on-line. Anyway the Elite got back in less than 2 weeks and it's better than before. Run cooler and quieter fans.
Also MS extended your warranty for 90 days so the Elite now has 90 days warranty so if any thing other than RROD occur it would be cover. (I hope not, instant karma, no more gloating to any 360 owners).
