  Why those rat bastages!  LOL  Eh, I was thinking it was nearly suicide to
guarantee a refurb'ed 360 for a year... I mean if your first dumped out near
the end of the first year and you get a new one, 2nd year you're covered!
And if it goes again... then you've got a 3 year 100% coverage warranty
between the overlaps and the RRoD?  Gimme that any day!

  I still don't get why MS doesn't directly offer an extended warranty on
these stupid things... Guess they figured they'd make more in charging for
repairs than they would getting people to hedge their bets with ext warranty
dice rolls!  Hmmm, business sense says... <buzzer> Wrong!  $50 for 2
years (let's say) from 2 Million people is big bucks compared to all the rest
of this.  Least in my book.
