Mine died too about a month ago. I rang up they gave me a number over the phone, They sent me a pre paid box within two days and I sent it in that, I had to write a reference number on top of it. I rang the courier to pick it up and had it back within 5 buisness days. They were really efficient and sorted it out as quickly as possible. You should have it back within a week.

This just really makes me wonder what microsoft missed when they did quality testing before sending out these units. But i am still kinda happy they pushed this system out so fast i very happy that i am playing next gen now instead of having to wait till nov for the PS 3 (i will still buy it then). I believe most of these problems we are having will be fixed over time.

Between me and my other brothers we have 3 xbox 360s. All 3 have crashed frooze multiple times but we just reboot and their better??? O well how much of you guys have experianced freezing?

yeap, were supposed to quote customers 10 business days just to be in the safe side....

its funny that i work for ms 360 tech and i just received my console from the repair center after 2 weeks. DOH!

but, they did give me a new case/shell, which is awesome because i put my last case on top of something [dust?] that left a permanent grayish mark, never doing that again.
