I keed, I keed, I'm glad to have 'er back. Cracked 200K on Geometry Wars today. Weekend goal: accomplished.
I'll be a good little GAFer and put this in the appropriate thread. I ran to my nearest Best Buy today with my 360 boxed back up as best as I could muster, got my replacement, was able to talk them into swapping HDs, and I'm up and running again. I went ahead and sprung for the $50 2-year replacement plan. I shouldn't have to pay for this piece of mind, but whatever, it's done.
One item of interest is that I notice this power supply is slightly different from the one that crapped out on me. The power outlet connection is now a two prong one on the power supply side instead of the original three. Why they removed the grounding prong, I'm not sure. Also, no more stupid notched-only-our-cable-will-work business. You can use a standard PC-type power cable, it just obviously won't use the grounding plug.
So far it's running without any issues. The system itself runs as warm as my last one and I definitely notice the power supply fan now although I wasn't really paying attention for one last time. It's not so loud as to be bothersome. The system I got is actually three months newer than my last (made in June versus April). Here's hoping this one is my last.
