I decided after my first one went (and I take really good care of it, still had the plastic over some of the stuff on the front) that I would just go to bestbuy get a warranty and be done with it, they are really great about taking back broken systems.

I hear they can still get it but its a much smaller chance I think down form like 15-20% to like 5-10% (its a big improvement but not prefect).

My brothers broken 1 console due to anger and misuse and they just take it back give him a giftcard for the amount spent and let him get another.

I'd wait tho, Price cuts are coming in the fall. (although it might only be for the pro console which they are switching the elite to the 299.99 mark)

I jnow Im so thinking about this route ,Gamestop will give me 70.00 for it.What I think is really stupid is they give you 3 years warranty from when you buy it.If it breaks and they fix it they dont renew your 3 years its still as of the day you got it.I was shy 3 months She was like ohh right on time 3 more months and you would have had to pay.Iam like you just fixed it last november she says warranty is as of the day you got it.

Is the only difference between the Core and the Elite the HDD? Does the Core also have HDMI?

I have a Gen1 model that (luckily) has never RROD'd. But the optical drive sounds like a jet engine when playing any disc-based game and I'm debating replacing it. Just upgraded from the 20gb to the 120gb HDD so it's just a matter of deciding on the console now...

My new jasper chip 60 gb pro that I got in March 09 sounds like a jet engine so don't bother.
