Wait, what is this yellow light thing exactly? I have a 60gb myself, would suck if it died on me.

Also, does the problem have anything to do with the HD? If not why not just take the HD out and transfer the saves? (if that's possible...)

What makes the 60 gigs different outside of BC? Why are they failing?

It's just that simple.

Mine went last summer. Replacement was free even though it was out of warranty, and I had a new console in four days (I phoned Saturday afternoon, the replacement arrived Tuesday morning).

Also, to keep your saves, just take your HDD out. That's what I did.
