WTH - guys - why are people recommending 'walmart' repair. Talk about cheating / lying / morally bankrupt.

Telling MS its 3 red lights instead of 1 seems lame too - I think they will pay for it if they should pay for it either way.

I just got this thing (E74)- called MS - first time they had me un plug everything and then re-plug and it came up ok. Then later when I started playing force unleashed again in a little bit the image was all grainy again.

I called MS a second time (as they had asked me to do if it happened again) and they had me try a second cable.

This did not stop the red blinking light for my xbox, and so they are sending me a shipping label to send it in for repair. Yes I am under warentee partially because of the extended warentee they gave everyone, and I also bought the extended warentee for both my 360's.

Im not sure how impressed I am with the hardware reliability, but I do know I use my 360s ALOT, and that support and replacement has been good - I am very happy with the service.
