Well... another 40 bucks down the drain

Over the winter vacation i bought my xbox 360 and it has been a whole lot of fun. Now when i bought my 360 the clerk asked me if i wanted to pay for a two year warranty for my 360. Now EB has always replaced my broken ps2s and my beat up psp so for only 40 bucks it seemed like a good deal right? Well little did i know about the whole thing with when you buy your arcade games you can only play them on the xbox that you downloaded it on, or be logged into xbox live to do so. The problem i have with this is what if my 360(god forbid) breaks? I could (and probably will) just sent it off to microsoft and have it fixed. Now that's all fine and dandy, but what really burns me up is that the 40 bucks i spent on a warranty is sort of useless. I don't have my 360 wired all the time so if i used the warranty to replace my console i would have to drag the cord through my house every time to play a game. I know i sound like i'm whining but in reality things shouldn't have to suck like that for 400 bucks. But hey microsoft extended their warranty or whatever, and they say there coming up with a plan for people who get a new console so they don't  have to go through that crap, so i guess i don't have much to worry about. But i'm still kicking myself for (at least at the moment) pouring that 40 bucks down the drain. Oh well i guess that's what i get for not doing my homework.
