Yea, just like a PS3. However I don't think I have ever seen a PS3 being shipped back to SONY for repair.

Wow! I did not realize this would become a debate on which service center is better. I am just glad they are fixing it for FREE! The magical little 4 letter word.

RE: Red Ring of Death
ever since my first gen x-box died (olny 6 months out of the box) and i was pissed, but loved the x-box, i now buy the extended warranty with all of my consoles, i think it cost me 30 extra buck for 2 years and they replace it on the spot, well spent money in my opinion, although yall have a good point, this should be a major concern for microsoft,as i have never had a problem with any of the playstations 1,2,and3.

RE: Red Ring of Death
there is a way to temporarily fix your x box when it gets the red ring of death while you are waiting for them to ship you a box to send it back. Its is pretty cool i tried it last time mine broke and it worked.
Get 2 large bath towels and wrap up your xbox.. The goal is to get it to over heat. After its wrapped up turn it on and leave it for 15 minutes. After that shut it of and let it sit for 15 minutes..unwrap to let cool off and power it back on. it should work.
