Might be ready on Friday...I'll stop in to check after I get back from BC. Extended warranty covers it for 2 more years past the 1st year oem one. BTW, my console was 13 month old when it croaked.

The warranty is covered for 3 years for the 3ring of death

One Year Express Warranty on Console (Three Years for Three Lights Flashing Red). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Limited Warranty, Microsoft warrants to you only (the original retail purchaser) that, during the Warranty Period and under normal use and service, the Xbox® Console will substantially conform with the printed user instruction materials packaged with the Console.

Comming from a guy that doesn't own one... yet. I'm glad you guys are enjoying the service from Micro soft but to me it sounds like they are trying to make up for design defects...wait til the warranty expires. Then again, if you are enclined to buy the latest and greatest it'll give you an excuse to go shopping.

Design defects are too much heat and not enough cooling. They designed the console small so it looks good but its not good for the heat it throws off. MS went from a 1 year warranty to the 3 year warranty and paid all the people back if they paid to have their system repaired.
The 360 is not new or the greatest but it will be around for probably another 5 years before they create a new one to replace it.

Sorry I missed the racing this past weekend, but I should be on next weekend.

Phil ... Did you get your system back, and up and running?
