Out of interest, of your 18 months, how much do you use it on average?
Have Microsoft ever indentified the actual cause of the error when they go belly up?

You seemed to be having a good run with your's and you play a fair bit too!
Properly xxxx timing or what though!I expect mine will die on Christmas day just as soon as Jo tries to play Guitar Hero or something.
I made sure I chopped my old one in at Game before it went over a year, it would freeze on the odd occasion but I wasnt going to take the risk.

Never had a problem with mine(touch wood)
Seems to be a spate of them going wrong at the moment though, hence my interest in the situation lol.

I rang them and gave them details- as H3RB says i'm no waiting for them to send me the labels to print out.
I use it a fair bit to be honest, on average probably 15 hours a week I reckon.
As far as I was aware the issue originally lay with poor soldering that when the unit got hot it overheated and then softened the solder which resulted in it packing in.
I thought this issue has been addresses mid 2006 when they changed the supplier of the dvd drives(think they went to an Hitachi drive IIRC).
I had one of these untis.
I've had that bolt on intercooler since day one with the intention of stopping this overheat problems, so not sure exactly why I have this issue now.
theyve always used hitatchi drives since day 1 it was only hitatchi and samsung drives but now the newest consoles use a benq dvd drive

You managed to sell your premium now? The dude I asked about buying it off you went and bought a wii instead.It's now whether I give in and buy an elite in my impatience as I was so close to rank 55 on COD.
