Mine died just before Xmas, I personally think its pathetic on M$'s part
Sucks! I've got through no less than 5 Xboxes in this way yet I'm still playing on them! Sent my Elite in a couple of months ago and they sent it back right as rain in a couple of days 
We had a lightning strike next to my house like 8 years ago and my PS2 refused to power on for a week and much to my dismay there was a rental game in the disc tray, thus we had to pry the disk tray open(breaking the gears in the process) and I took the game back. Two weeks later I was about to throw the PS2 out and figured I'd plug it in JUST to make sure................................. It powered on. Thus I had a perfectly good PS2 with a broken disc tray. Took it to a repair shop a few blocks away and then got so addicted to Diablo 2 again that I completely forgot my PS2 was at the shop for like 15 months. Surprisingly they still had it and I actually got it back.
Edit: ALSO, if you call Microsoft, even if you're past your 3 year warranty, they WILL replace it for $100 AND you get another year warranty. Costs the same as most of the repairs you'll find in your local city/town. Not sure if this is their usual policy, but my brother got this done so if they say no, just ***** a bit more and eventually they give in.

I have a large TV right behind me, and in front of it are my concoles.
The table it's on is handmade, and the TV juuuusts goes over one side of the table.
Ocationaly, I push my chair back and around.
Add those together, and you get a giant TV falling off and knocking over my Wii on it's decent.
Strangly enough, the only thing adversly effected was my Wii, (The other concoles were the PS1 and PS2, and aprarntly they were low enough to dodge the falling TV of death) and the only thing that happend is that the casing broke at one corner. Thing still works like a charm.

That sucks mate but just do what people have said about sending it off.
The worst that happend to me was my Disc drive for my PC breaking and im a PC gamer...Then I learned of a thing called Steam.

I still have no idea how mine is still working, I thought it would've died like over a year ago.
When my very first PC completely failed in every aspect after both Hard Disks died. I miss that little guy.
It did mean that I eventually got this machine though, which I fcuxing love - I swear it runs on fairy dust.
Also, kudos to the Escapist and their latest bra advert - I'm glad people like err... whatever her name was can get the support they need for their astonishingly large jugs.
