So I send off my dead 360 and lo and behold, maybe a week and a half to two weeks later (turnaround time is quoted as 14-21 buisness days, so this was pretty good turnaround) I get a box in the mail, with what I could only presume was a refurbished 360. Even better, when I put my repair order in, they sent me a nice box with styrofoam packing and a paid-shipping label to send it back. So I call up tech support, and luckily they had just released the news that they'd be extending the warranty for three years from purchase date and repairing red ring deaths at no charge. The Beta was only for two weeks, and only about four or five days in, my 360 gives me the finger. Not only did the first Xbox 360 kick the bucket after five months, but it died in THE MIDDLE of the Halo 3 Beta. Mind you, I game quite a good deal, but not nearly as much as some gamers I know who truly put their xbox through the gauntlet. The first one I had croaked after only five months of having it. It seems my Xbox loathes me, for it always seems to keel over and die at THE MOST INOPPORTUNE times.
But on the other side, their product design for the Xbox 360 sucks something fierce. I've thoroughly enjoyed and had no problems with 64-Bit Vista on this new computer I built last year. I have a very love/hate relationship with Microsoft these days.
