Unfortunately, that's not the "end of story". Turn around for repairs is purported to be longer than a month.

Which, along with the fact that MS had to extend their warranty to save face, indicates there is a real problem with the machines.

I'm not saying MS isn't taking care of things as best they can, and in fact better than other companies have under similar circumstances. But I don't for a second believe this issue is just people not taking care of their stuff.

And I figure, I've been holding out for a year and change for one, I can certainly wait 'till October/November to get a new one. The days of pining over video games are long past for me... the only thing I pine for now is enough free time to play the ones I've got... and when I get that time, I usually would rather take my GF to dinner or wrench on my car.
