SYTEM:

My RMA is thru Best Buy. We bought the console in November, and the factory warranty was only 90 days, so we bought the 2yr Best Buy warranty. Best Buy sends you a gift card upon receipt of the system, so hopefully this will become an Elite.
You do realise that you should get a full refund of your 'paid for' extended warranty because Micro$haft have extended the warranty on ALL 360's to 3 years anyway (at no extra cost)

PS: nice addition of 'Peripherals/Accessories:', I will add this section now

Sometimes mine has a error starting up with a game in the tray, the dirty disc error. Open and shut the tray and works great from there but a bit loud....

I haven't heard about too many DOAs.

It's usually heat that kills them, and unused 360s don't produce heat. lol

Not the one that plugs into the main power port. It's known to kill them. Don't know about the usb powered ones tho.

I know you guys pry dont wanna do it, but I took mine apart and put a fan on the CPU heatsink and changed both heatsink thermal greases. Now the 360 only gets warm instead of burning hot like it did. I have burn marks on the plastic and metal where it got hot.

Im sure you will be fine m8. IF it was DOA, you could just take it back to the store and take another.....if it dies a few months down the line then M$ will sort it....dont worry m8....go grab one

Ive added you anyway m8
