Shades - The warranty is void, so I can't send it in for free. My reason? My 360 had a problem where it stopped outputting video (I forget the error code), and Microsoft was going to charge me $120 + shipping to get it fixed since it was 2 months out of full non-RRoD warranty. Besides, sending it into Microsoft is horrible. I actually repair X360s that people have sent to Microsoft several times. One guy actually sent his in six times before he discovered that I fix them.
Xbox 360 is a great system, but I don't understand why I have to perform surgery on it to get it working properly. Microsoft should have realized that their hardware was faulty a few weeks after and should have updated some simple things like the heatsinks and some small improvements that prevent the board from warping.
