Since I'm 1 month out of warranty they'll give 
me 25% off the repair cost ($139.90-%25=$104). 
 
That sucks. I was hoping they'd just throw it in, I didn't
fight with the guy for more, just not in the mood and 
$100 for a new box isn't terrible (free shipping both 
ways). I hope I get an entirely new box but I'm guessing 
they'll just pull the board out and put a new board in, 
leaving the loud DVD drive intact. Maybe they'll suck 
the dust out of it as well.

But instead of saying fudge I said it.  The word.  THE word.

Yes.  My xbox is dead.  I went to put in a video (The Breakup, I blame 
this movie b/c the xbox didn't want me to have to watch it) and the 
screen went kind of weird .. almost like it went to 16-bit color.  I turned 
it off and on thinking it was some oddity. Except when I turned it back 
on nothing came on the screen.

I thought .. ahhh whatever .. the VGA port on my TV died.  So I 
plugged the component cables and fired it up.  Hmm .. that's odd.
It doesn't work either (sound but no picture).  Must have it on the
