I'm kind of glad they're opening new retail Microsoft stores. That way I'll have a store front to return my red-ring-of-death-a-month-past-3-year-warranty-360 - possibly via a window.

Reading up I found out I'm pretty unlucky.... somehow my machine never died in the past 3 years (since it only gets used on weekends) so they'd have to replace the poor heatsinkfan unit *and* I ordered mine a month before they switched production to the bigger heatsinkfan and the lower power processor/gfx chips.

F'ing Microsoft. Of course... we've replaced/repaired 3 or 4 IPods and 2 IPhones in that same timespan and I'm still a consummate apple trinket fanboy (though those were all free replacements so maybe that's why).
