Now I'm waiting for Xbox 360 number 6 to come along and die as well. I was "lucky" though, walmart exchanged my first 3 360's because they all broke in the first 90 day of purchase. Yay walmart.

But my Core 360 (my bro got it for me and all the premium stuff for the same price as the premium) is still working as good as it did when I unpacked it, woo hoo. I think that's why Microsoft is getting rid of the Cores, because they don't break as often, it's cutting into their repair cashcow. ;) I keep my power brick on a different shelf, mostly because the damn thing is an eyesore.

Very annoying indeed. @TimB26 - I would suggest you take that cooling unit off of the back of your 360 immediately. Some of them have a problem where they draw too much power from the 360 at startup, since it connects directly to the 360's power port. This ends up shorting out the 360, or causing problems over time that Microsoft does not cover because it was caused by a 3rd party hardware. A much better solution is to get a USB cooler for the 360. Using this, it can not draw too much power, since it uses USB. The USB coolers are a much better solution to keeping your 360 cool.

But there is definitely more than enough ventilation going to all of my consoles. I think it's just poor Quality Assurance on the part of Microsoft. I really thought they would have these issues ironed out by now. If I was getting the RRoD, that would be something to think about.

You take your broken console in and they replace whatever you brought. They open up a box of the console and take out a new console and give you that. If you want to swap the controller and everything, you have to bring all the parts back. Yeah I have the Best Buy warranty. You take your broken console in and they replace whatever you brought.
