Well said. I'm almost as die-hard anti MSFT as they come (example: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1462403 ), but I love my XBox360 (and the first XBox before that). They've done a great job with it, even through the hardware issues early on. I've been through three, but I was only without the machine for about two weeks total, and I didn't pay a dime to get them fixed.
