www.xbox.com/en-US/support/contactcall them, place an incident report, they send you a box, you send the unit, should get it back in 2 weeks or so... pretty easy and simple.

2 weeks is a hell of a lot better than what you would think to expect... I figured it'd be months. My turn around was about 10 days. The American service center is in deep south texas though - Canada has their own but I don't remember where. At least it's not going to south texas...
On a side note - the wife had to work today so I was able to actually get stuff done for me... a little reading... time on the wii and 360... watch the euro final in peace... etc - it's been a nice, lazy day.

k I was hoping I wouldn't have to send it 2000 miles to get it fixed so thats good. Most likely the service is in vancouver or toronto but I don't know either.

I think it was central, so relatively close to you (if I remember correctly...) Calgary maybe?
***Edit - I was wrong - it's in a Toronto suburb I believe

Okay, Calgary and Edmonton are western but in my mind they're central - especially if connected to Winnipeg some 1000 miles away or whatever :-) ... Vancouver is western and Toronto/Montreal are eastern.... everything east of Toronto doesn't count/exist (Quebec, etc). That's simply how my mind works, but I realize population-wise Toronto is probably pretty damn near the population-center. I just remember thinking that the xbox center was much further west than Toronto/Montreal, etc.
See what my geography degree got me...

Towel trick cooljay? www.youtube.com/watch?v=31tvXu34T8QI have actually heard this works from a few friends who tried it. Worth a shot I guess if you haven't sent it in. I have also heard it can cause freezing. But hey, what do you have to lose? |

I have my doubts whether that would actually work though. I would rather just send it in.

The towel trick can work from a few hours to a week.. all it would be doing would be making it even longer till you get a good 360.
