Theres no doubt that MS stepped up to the plate to deal with faulty xboxs..... i should know as i had the red rings of death twice, and each time, MS sent me a prepaid box to send back the xbox, then within a week or two i received a new one.

given some of the estimates i have heard about the percentage of faulty 360s, i simply cannot imagine how much MS have spent on repairs... i hope they have good insurance!

my ps3 has never been faulty, and i swapped it out for a ps3 slim some time ago to get the fabled DTS-HD light to come on on my AV receiver.

i also agree that the 360 is a great machine with great games and great online capability... but its SHOCKINGLY noisy and yeah, by now they should be incorporating wifi into the box and the power brick too.
