SO, I'm well educated as to the 360's reliability issues. I knew them going in, so need for snide remarks, thanks!

That said, I bought the extended warranty from Best Buy. "If your controller breaks, we won't just replace the controller, we'll replace the whole thing!"

Sounded good, and I wanted the extra protection.

BUT, then I opened my box, and saw that for the same price, I can get an extended FULL warranty from MS as well. Then I started thinking about my Harddrive. If something does break, and I go to Best Buy for the replacement, will they let me keep my harddrive? If they won't, that's the cheese... I know that when a 360 goes in for RRoD repair, they send back a new/different console, but stick your harddrive onto it.

SO, does anyone know if best buy will let me keep my Harddrive? I think I can still "return" the warranty and then get the same coverage via MS...

Thanks in advace.

probably not if its through best buy cause they will just exchange a new one with you ,but your still covered by microsoft. If you go through Microsoft, they even tell you not to send your hard drive to them.
