Only a few people but it was because they know people that work for microsoft. Otherwise, if you fight it you can get it to as low as 90 bucks.

You can get a free repair if your under warranty. If your out of warranty is 139.90, and that comes with another added year to the warranty.

Not as far as I know, if your warranty runs out you're doomed to pay over $100 for the repair. Is yours broken?

I did, mine was purchased in January '06 and I think they thought it was from the original batch.  Anyways, I got 3 red lights, sent it in...paid for the fixes...but then got a refund check for 139.0 from them 6 months later

 It took a while but I got a 360 out of warranty replaced for free

I did, I didn't even have to do anything, I was just nice and the lady never mentioned price or anything.
