Funny thing about the xbox 360's hardware problems, when people's 360s break the response is not "ugh, this piece of junk sucks, I want my money back, I'm buying a wii" instead it's "ugh, how long is it going to take to get repaired? I really want to play right now!" or "ugh, it's out of warranty? Damnit, now I have to buy a new one!"

These are, as they say, generally the better variety of problems to have, warranty extension costs notwithstanding.
