I called 1-800-4MYXBOX... the CS rep felt something was wrong with the console (duh). He confirmed the the Xbox 360 has a 90-day warranty, but both of my 360s warranties expire on 8-13-6 (13-8-6 for some of you). WTF? They were boh purchased on or around release date... not too long afterwards, I registered it with MS... how is my 90 days NOT up? Oh well! Thank you, Mr. Gates!
They'll be sending me a pre-paid shipping box soon. The CS rep recommended that I purchase the extended warranty at $129 (I think that's the amount he quoted). I asked if there was a discount for two warranties purchased together, but I was informed "probably not".
Oh well, people! Be looking into that warranty issue!
I can't believe my son's hasn't failed! He keeps that thing running 24/7... my actually has relatively low hours on it... I bet I average 4-6 hours a week, including time I use it as a DVD player! _________________________________________________________ The World's Most Awesome Xbox 360 Room

...replace the thermal paste with some good stuff like artic silver.
Maybe that's why it didn't freeze up when using it as a DVD player! I was watching "Eight Below"... an Arctic movies*
