Fair enough. I bought it right when they had the extended warranty, I mainly went Microsoft because I knew I'd play more 360 exclusive games than I would PS3 exclusive games. I felt that if it broke within 3 years, going without it for a month or two wouldn't kill me. I mainly started the thread to find out why it was taking so long to ship me my box. In the end, I went to the UPS store and shipped it myself. I caved, what can I say?
