Ok, Woochier,

I am sitting here eating a little bit of crow pie. My beloved XBOX 360 suffered the dreaded "freeze". I put it off for as long as I could but finally relented when it wouldn't work at all.

However, all is well that ends well. I called MS last Thursday.
The call went like this:

MS: Hello, how may I help you.
Me: My 360 keeps freezing up.
MS: (After the usual, turn it off, try again). Literally about 1 min into call she says, OK, we are going to get it fixed for you ASAP. We will send you a box to return yours in tomorrow. And as soon as we get it, and repair it, we send it back. No charge to you.
Me: Oh, ok.

Next day, DHL drops off return box. I filled it w/ 360 and hard drive, call DHL and request pickup that day.

Today I get an email from MS stating the repairs are finished and I will get it in 2-5 days.

At 10:30 AM UPS rings my doorbell and hands me a box from MS repair center.

I open it up, and it is a Brand New 360, minted on 1-18-06 according to the tag on the rear.

They even put my old Hard Drive on it, so my data wasn't lost!!

Runs like a champ, and I can't belive how fast the turn around was.
