I wish I had the red ring. Mine died with the Green Ring so Microsoft wouldn't help me at all.

I hear ya. Like I said earlier, I was kinda glad I got the red ring now since a) I figured it was inevitable b) my warranty is up in May.

Do I understand correctly, now that it's fixed, the warranty is extended to a year past when I get it back? Or am I just making that up?

Received the 360 back today (February 24th). Sent it out on February 11th. Thirteen day turnaround. Not too bad.

Just a side note, I did receive the exact same console back- serial number matched up. I did think it was kind of strange that I had to re-download the NXE interface. I figured that was stored on the HDD, but apparently it must be stored on internal memory which either got replaced or purged during the fix.

to Microsoft for a smooth repair process.

Actually, I find that a little discouraging as I'm hoping to receive a new console. In addition to the 3 ROD, I had a clunky DVD player (actually made a clunk sound when you quit the game) as well as the console being excessively noisy to the extreme. So much so that I cannot play a game at low volume otherwise I cannot hear the in game dialog and such. I mentioned these problem so maybe I will get lucky.

Yeah, I was hoping that they'd end up giving me an HDMI console, but no such luck. But, atleast, other than the RROD my console was in good condition so I don't mind getting it back. I know how I treated my console, you know?

I'll let you know if I have different luck (I want the HDMI as well)

I double-checked mine to see if my old HDMI-less console had been replaced with a HDMI-equipped model--no such luck. I'm happy for the poster above, but I imagine his experience isn't at all common.

Looks like I got my original console returned... no HDMI... rats.

On the plus side, my console runs MUCH quieter... outstanding difference. DVD player seems to have been fixed as well. I really can't complain. Thanks, MS.

another reason why don't buy this franchise. Red ring of death. Overheating. inexpensive drivers breakdown.
But apparently Microsoft has fixed this problem.
