Same problem here man, it broke the day i bought NBA 2K8. Didnt even got to try it!!!!! I was tempted to try it, but didnt because i dont wanna risk my warranty. I dont think they can prove it if u try it though . The choice is urs. I decided to go with the safe choice and not try it

yeah It can void your warranty, but only if Microsoft has proof that you used the towel trick. CSI terms: taking samples of towel fabrics and compare them to the stuf in/on your console with use of amicroscope.

I used the towel trick, every day for a week to try and keep playing while waiting for my shipping box to arrive. Its been a week since I shipped it and still no word on it, so to my knowledge it shouldnt void the warranty.

You only void the warrenty by changing something inside the console. The towel trick is a temporary solution, not a perminate fix.
