Well the frustration factor. To me, at this point I just live with it as I can exchange it on the spot.

For others that don't get warranties the waiting game sucks. If I could not get it switched on the spot, don't know if I would want to play the waiting game of waiting two weeks or so.

Yeah, that's probably helped me as well since I've just swapped out every "death" LOL

That is my problem, waiting would drive me nuts to only get back a refurb that could have more problems. This generation's hardware has been bad all around. Just like when we all thought the PS3 was built like a tank, all these YLOD issues arise and now the 60GB consoles are starting to kick the bucket.

Where are you guys getting warranties from that allow to exchange on the spot? I thought places like Best Buy, Walmart, and Target started sending them out.

My first one gave up on me a month ago after being sent in last year. So, I just bought an Arcade.

I don't care what anyone says...the PS2 was a total pain in the ***. WAY worse than the 360. I went through four of them within a 2 year span. Ridiculous. I bought the Xbox in '02 and I was done with the PS2. That Xbox is still sitting here after 7 years, could get ran over by a steamroller, still work and make me dinner at the same time.

I have 2 360's in my house, one is a launch 360(yes, it still works fine) and the other has been replaced once due to an dead ethernet port.
