Just in Time for the Holidays

Within four hours of starting COD: MW 2, halfway through Halo ODST and with Rock Band 2 hidden in the closet waiting for Christmas morning, I get the RROD.  This on a console I received after losing my first console to the RROD while playing the original COD: MW.  

If my previous experience with xbox support is any guide, then I expect a repaired console returned to me, factoring in that I now live overseas and use the APO system, no sooner than two or three months from now.  That would make for an unfestive Christmas.   

Just for the sake of the children's Christmas joy, I should order that new 360 elite right now.
