by the way, 9 is not an exaggeration. I am on xbox number 10 at the moment. You are screwed as I was screwed. I even spoke with a VP for microsoft on the issue.

Then I think my next strategy is to just take it back every year, red ring or no and tell them it is broken.
On the positive side, since we were using the Xbox as our DVD player we went out and get a new Blu-ray player. We dont have an HD tv yet, but why buy a DVD player (even though they are only $50), when in two years we'll need/want a blu-ray anyway.
Plus the blu-ray player is cool, it goes on line to youtube and netflix and a bunch of other sites. Hopefully it'll last longer than the Xbox did.
