There was a news story recently where microsoft is extending the warranty to 2 or 3 years because of all of the xboxs breaking. You can probably get yours fixed by microsoft for free.

Microsoft has said that they will cover all units that experience the "3 lights of death" no matter if they are in warranty or not - Call Microsoft and demand they replace it (vs. fixing it which will mean your out a unit for 6-8 weeks)

3 red lights is hardware failure... Mine had that just recently and it was one of the originals from the first launch. I just bought a core and put my hd on it.

If my new one breaks anytime in the next 2-3 years i'm definately giving them a call and demanding they fix it.
