The 3 year warranty only applies to the RROD, which probably accounts for about 50% of 360 failures (this is a guess based on anecdotal evidence). There are a lot of failures not covered by the 3 year warranty.
Also, unlike Sony and Nintendo, Microsoft doesn't advance replace units or cross ship. This means you'll be without your 360 for approximately a month. This is particularly odd since they take your 360 and send you a different refurbished one in most cases rather than actually repairing yours and sending it back.
