Three Rings of Death

My Xbox 360 experienced the infamous Three Rings of Death last night, 2 years (to the day!) after I bought it. Having heard about quality issues when I bought it I opted for the Best Buy Product Replacement Plan. So I called Best Buy yesterday. They informed me that Microsoft would replace the unit because it had extended the warranty on all 360's that experience the Three Rings. I didn't think that sounded very fair to Microsoft since I had paid Best Buy $50 for their warranty. The customer service guy then said it didn't matter anyway because my extended warranty has expired the previous day.

*sigh*
