Um, it should be covered under warranty. Did you try calling them instead of just going online?
I was visiting some family at my brother's house two nights ago, and his Xbox got zapped by an electrical surge (apparently the outlet wasn't grounded, it just had the 3 prong connectors with no ground, so the surge protectors didn't do dick). It was working, except the ethernet port seemed to be fried.
Then, about an hour later, it went belly up and RROD'd. His was a launch console too... he spent about 15 minutes on the phone, they emailed him a shipping label, we printed it up and got it out to ups the next day, no hassle whatsoever. I was pretty surprised, he didn't have the warranty info registered either, but the guy went ahead and registered it for him over the phone as he was sending the label.
