Hey vote4fairtax,

Sorry to hear for your loss as well. Darn COD4, whats it doing to us hey!
If I was in your shoes (and I think I've made reference to this already), I'd be totally happy and accepting if I still kept my launch system and it died now. At least I'd say wow, a solid 2 years with this machine, and it dies. Yours launched in Nov 05, so really its 2.5 years old in the US vs Australia. So you've gotten and even better run out of it. You gotta be happy with that.

But still, a console should never die. My Super Nintendo still works a treat, and its well, a good 16 years old.

But I also think its fantastic of MS to support its customers for the additional 2 years over the standard warranty for RROD. I just advise you also to not perform any towel tricks, cause if they manage to fix your existing unit, you may cause other potential problems instead. Remember the towel trick is designed to melt inside components to re-affix that GPU. Only drawback is you wind up nuking everything else inside that machine, which MS may or may not pick up on when performing your service request.

I am just about to leave for work, and I am stopping past the store to collect my copy of GTA4 at 8:30am this morning. Pity I wont be playing it for a while, but I am still going to collect it and hopefully I might stop past my bro or nephews house for a quick bit of gameplay on one of their consoles.
