A lot of gamers are inclined to look online for answers, and the answer online is to send it in, since there is a three year warranty.

But once again, you don't just put a 360 in a box and say here you go Microsoft, fix it now! There is an actual process you have to go through.

I suppose you could just send it, but if they don't know what's wrong they aren't going to touch it.

Don't you think that could be exactly what I meant? Too many systems sent with no apparent problem?

Then yes, people just randomly sending their XBox to Microsoft without calling tech support are in fact morons and once again, a little annoying screen isn't going to do anything to fix that.

 You seem to forget that people that dumb look at pretty pictures more than they would think to call tech support. That's a basic marketing rule. You could have a bitmap of master chief in front of two 360s, one with three rings, and one with four. The dumb people would see MC saying "Remember, everyone, you don't have to send four rings in for repairs, just check the plugs."

 I am not saying Microsoft should do that. I'm just pointing out it's not a dumb idea, solely on the basis of you not knowing how it would work.
